As someone who has already sustained permanent hearing loss (work related) over the years, and now wears hearing aids (sometimes, hate those things!)....I would love to legally be able to use a suppressor. I can no longer shoot indoors with my pistols, even using foam plugs under my MSA muffs. It's just too painful, and my chronic tinitus gets too severe for about 3 or 4 days after. Outside is ok, but I have to use plugs and muffs always. The ability to reduce the db while shooting would make one of my favorite past times much more pleasant.
I don't think I would use it for hunting, if I use my MSA muffs with long guns I don't have much problems. I wouldn't want the extra weight on the end, I think it might affect balance? Not that I would know as I've never used one.
