Its been legal in Ohio for over a year now, has anyone tried it?
It is definitely an expensive addition but I think the benefits outweigh the cost over time. I have set up my hunting .22s for shooting suppressed. If I shoot standard velocity ammo (which is subsonic) its hollywood quiet and you can actually hear the round impact on the squirrel. Otherwise with supersonic (high velocity) rounds you hear a crack from somewhere downrange. 22LR is one of the worst rounds for your hears without protection and with the suppressor there is no ringing or tinnitus after shooting without hearing protection.
When hunting with my kids its nice because no trying to get hearing protection on before I shoot, just take the shot as the squirrels appear.
Silencerco earlier this year released a suppressor that can handle up to 45-70 so I am in the process of being ready to hunt deer with a suppressed 44 mag and 444 marlin.
I don't know everything about them but you definitely get what you pay for. Also SilencerCo has a nice discount program for LEO/MIL.
