If one were to go this route, what are the training dimensions added by this new variable? We've now added several inches to the overall length of the pistol, so where will it be stored? I doubt a drawer in the nightstand will be wide enough, or will make it a bit more awkward to draw the pistol. What about weight distribution? What about sights, or adding a flashlight/laser? And so on.
I'm not trying to stir the pot, here. I had not considered a suppressor for this type of event, and I think it's a great idea. But I would like to know what additional training would be required to prepare for a home invasion and successfully use a suppressor. We can start a new thread, if that would be better.
