.45 ACP. Worth it to suppress? Please share opinions.

[Joelski]

I have an AAC Ti-Rant 45 suppressor, and when shot "wet" it is almost Hollywood quiet for the first 4 or 5 rounds. But it is large. I bought a second 45 suppressor, a Thompson Machine Poseidon - half the size and weight of the Ti-Rant, but not as quiet. I bought it for one reason only - nightstand pistol. Any firearm shot indoors is brutal on the ears. The Poseidon will mitigate the noise enough to prevent permanent damage (I don't have a lot of ear left ) and it will encapsulate the flash. Even with a WML on the pistol, a handgun flash could cause you to lose sight of the intended target momentarily - less than ideal.

So, yes ... IMHO it is worth it to suppress a 45 in certain scenarios - fun at the range is not one of those scenarios. I see it as a tool with a specific purpose, and that is the only way I use it. Ti-Rant rarely comes out of the safe any more.
