Every centrefire rifle in the safe has a suppressor, and most of the rimfires. I was rather late getting into the shooting business and had very good hearing and wanted to keep my hearing in very good order. Reading up on the advantages and disadvantages it was a simple choice.
Every rifle that was suppressed had improved accuracy. The biggest improvement being the cheap 223 that went from 3"-4" at 100m to 1/2" groups.
It's not about being softer, more about being sensible.
