Factory ammo recommendations for suppressed PCC?

[Tightgrps]

I'm building a custom JP5 9mm PCC with a 16" barrel (1:10 twist) that I plan to use with a suppressor. If I'm not reloading my own ammo and just using factory ammo, what grain would you recommend for this setup?

Ammo Inc "Stelth" 165gr if you want it to be quietest

Anything below 1100 fps, which is typically 147 gr or higher should be subsonic, depending on load. https://www.silencercentral.com/blog/comparing-subsonic-vs-supersonic-ammunition/#:~:text=Subsonic is anything traveling slower,the threshold between the two. For practice/training I run Federal American Eagle but my defensive load is the same 124 +P I use for pisrols

Anything 147. Been running Speer Lawman and Silent sasquatch lately the most.

IMI 158gr. subs are super quiet in my 8" 9mm PCC if you can find it.

Thanks, everyone! Now I have some shopping to do and try some of these out. Much appreciated.

Most of the ammo listed above will be supersonic out of a 16” barrel. Almost all 147 gr loads will go super from a 16” barrel.
Your best bet for factory ammo is 165 grain and up.

The IMI subsonic was the quietest in my Uzi.
Not sure if it's imported any more. Israel has a need for ammo at home. . .
