You'll have more fun with a dead air mask, SiCo sparrow, warlock II etc. As far as sound it, it's not hard to make a subsonic 22 round quiet. About anything will do the job. A 30cal can will make you want a dedicated pistol and rimfire can lol.
First suppressor

Let me break it down to you like this. First of all, you can't call it a can because you're a noob. You have to call it a suppressor until us "Can God's" say you are worthy to call it a can.
Lol, but in other words, I'll help you save money. Buy a Liberty Mystic X and a .46 caliber (SilencerCo Hybrid, Dead Air Primal, or Griffin Armament Bushwhacker) and you have all major calibers covered with 2 suppressors.
I call them what they legally are...silencers. One step beyond calling it a can.
Irrelevant. According to the inventor and the ATF, they are silencers. Really I just call them that to piss in people cheerios, but technically speaking, silencer is the correct term.
I call them cans because it's shorter to type and I'm lazy
I would definitely start with a 22 can and take it from there. Good news is that e-forms should make your wait significantly shorter than what it would have been if you hadn't walked out empty handed a few months ago.
I can't recommend the Silencerco Spectre enough. Very good sound and easy to clean, no need to worry about them locking up when they get dirty like some 22 cans (looking at you GemTech).
If you want to get into pistols you have to look at what you will be shooting. As a caliber 45 suppresses almost naturally, and heavy-for-caliber 9mm is pretty good too. If you have both I'd start with a 45 can. That'll work for either and the bigger can will offset the additional sound you get from the larger hole in the end cap. Almost any major brand will work in this case.
But start with a 22. It's the best way to get into the game.
