A coworker of mine informed me of a nearby shop that will walk a person through the process of obtaining a suppressor, something I've been wanting for a while.
I don't want the suppressor for "cool factor" but only to save my ears if I ever needed to fire for defense indoors.
I do have a .300 blackout with 7.5" barrel that I purchased with the sole intention to suppress. Ammunition for the .300 blackout, especially defensive subsonic ammunition, seems hard to find and expensive when I do.
I decided to instead suppress my AK-V as I've been told it's an excellent candidate for a suppressor and I know it's more than capable for defense.
I am currently looking for a 147gr JHP that remains subsonic from a 10.5" barrel (another post on the Automatic forum), but I do have some questions about suppressors in general.
Here are a few:
Thanks in advance!

Here are a few:
- I see there are multi-caliber suppressors. Are these as effective in suppressing as a suppressor made for that specific caliber?
- If the 147gr JHP options out there do go supersonic, is hearing loss a real issue indoors just from the supersonic crack?
- If I cannot find a 147gr JHP that will remain subsonic from a 10.5" barrel, would a 124gr JHP be any louder than a 147gr if both are supersonic?
- Any suggested suppressors for my Palmetto State Armory AK-V? Any warnings?
Thanks in advance!
