Worth every penny!
I started with a DA Mask HD and grabbed a MK IV 22/45 Lite as a host. Five years and ~4k rounds later, it's still my favorite combo for range day fun. The Mask also works great on rifle. My rifle hosts have included a few 10/22s and a Savage FV-SR. Depending on ammo, you can achieve proper giggle-inducing levels of quiet.
Second for me was a .30-cal can to swap between centerfire hosts. I snagged a DA Sandman-S and it has been great. I've ran it across multiple platforms and chamberings. My favorite so far is my 10.3" Daniel Defense 300BLK, though my PDW and Ruger American Ranch were also good. Does great on 5.56×45, 7.62×39, .308, and 6.5 Creedmoor as well. 300BLK is the ticket though
Third for me was a .45-cal pistol can to run on 9×19, 10mm, and 45 Auto. I snagged a Rugged Obsidian45 and it's awesome so far. I've ran 158gr subs through my M9A4, and 124gr supers through my SP5. I've also ran 230gr through one of my HK45CTs. All were great.
If just getting into suppressors, definitely make a dedicated rimfire can an early, if not first, acquisition. From there, grab a rifle can if you shoot more rifle or a pistol can if you shoot more pistol.
Yeah, the paperwork is a nuisance and all but it's worth it in my opinion. I also have to renew my auto and home insurance every year, renew my auto registrations every year, notify USPS and a million other entities if I move, and the list goes on. Our lives are chock full of annoyances in the form of paperwork. What's one more added to the list to enhance my favorite training/hobby activity of shooting?
