Question 1 - I was looking to get a compact 9mm with good capacity (ie 15 rounds) that I can suppress at the range for fun while still carry and be comfortable unsuppressed. First, I was trying to determine which caliber would be the quietest to suppress while still being effective as an SD gun w/o the can. Based on my research it seems 9mm is the best option. 45 would be the next option because its subsonic but it still will be a bit louder than a 9mm suppressed. The 40 doesn't seem like a good candidate to suppress due to the velocity and sonic boom. Am I on the right track? Obviously lesser calibers might be even more quiet but I don't want to dip below something in 9mm.
Question 2 - If 9mm is the way to, which gun should I get? First I need a reliable simple high cap 9mm, the G19, 229, come to mind but I also would like to be able to buy one with a threaded barrell already installed? Is this possible with Sig or Glock or anyone else??
Question 3 - During my research, I read about recoil booster, still not sure what is is, or if its needed but would I need one if I got a glock or Sig and if so how expensive are they and is there anyway avoiding getting one? do I need one if I go with Glock or Sig?
