1. You're going to have more explaining to do if you kill someone in self defense. Sad, but true.

True, but it isn't that hard. A simple explanation of decibels and hearing loss is all it takes. And you and your family will still retain their hearing.

2. You might as well have a carbine length rifle if you are going to keep your suppressor attached to your pistol. Where are you going to store it?
|
Many people do have a carbine length rifle for home defense. There are different storage solutions. A person just has to find the right one for them.

3. Too much bulky junk on the muzzle for my liking especially in a defensive situation.

Personal issue.

4. You're not really going to store the suppressor unattached from the pistol and think you will be able to assemble everything and get a shot off in time. Israeli carry is bad enough, but this would be absurd!

See 2 above. It just requires the right storage solution.

5. Are you really going to use subsonic ammo for home defense???
|
147 grain 9mm and 230 gr .45 are subsonic. So that isn't particularly crazy. Even supersonic, a suppressor will bring the noise down substantially, putting your hearing at much less risk.

]6. Guns with suppressors can be finicky - not something I'd want to fart around with in a defensive situation.

You can say the same thing about many unsuppressed guns. You have to test your defensive weapon and be sure that it will function properly...suppressor or no suppressor.
