I hear good things about the Fiocchi, but no first hand experience. I'm now working on reloading subs.
I had experience with my .45, and was well pleased with the sound, then first ran the Federal Amer. Eagle through the 9mm suppressor and was like "Hmmmm?" I had expected better. Then found numerous sources saying it's not the best 147 around. John Titsworth made a statement that American Eagle was the loudest 9mm round he had fired, and he has the test numbers to show it.
I don't have a brand recommendation, as I cannot give any first hand accounts due to switching to reloads.
PS: sorry for the late response.
Thanks for the response. I am going to be forced into reloading soon. I saw a review of the American Eagle on one of the suppressor websites. It was 3rd behind the Fiocchi and "Special K". I got some to try. The Fiocchi is hard to find, and where I have seen it, it has been pricey. I'm sure I'll be asking soon about the best way to reload for subsonic 9mm.

Interesting.
The Fed. Amer. Eagle gave me pretty loud FRP, and follow-ups were still not as quiet as I had expected. Admittedly I think am getting a fair amount of blowback noise as the action opens. Trying to delay that bit with slower reloads. Part of the fun!

I found the review I read. I'm going to have to start looking into reloading. Up until now, I haven't done so much shooting that I felt I needed to. That is starting to pick up, and of course the idea of tinkering with stuff really appeals to me.

Be happy to help get you started reloading, doc.
