I need a scary black gun

Once you go suppressed, you never go back.

Seems to me like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

I’m I the only hunter left in the world that hunts without a suppressor?!?

Nope

On sub sonic they are quiet but on full load they are a little quieter but not quiet.

I an not hunting suppressed.
Buddy of mine is but I hunt a few hundred yards from him and it is still loud from his .223.
I do not need the weight and I am afraid the accuracy may suffer a tick.

I have not tested accuracy with a can vs no can.
But if I did it would be in minus weather and in the heat and see if impact area changes.
That is the clincher for me.

I have killed hogs and many of them with the suppressed .308 and home made load of 100gr cast lead powder coated bullet sent by a tiny amount of Red dot powder.
664 FPS.
Ear shot or brain shot drop like a sack of potatoes.
Spitting distance though.
22 long rifle kills then just the same.

I would not hunt deer with it though.

I can only speak for the accuracy of 22 lr with and without a suppressor, and the bullet impacts aren’t even close. Centerfire calibers may give different results, but I’d have to see it to believe it.

Unless a person plans to use subsonic ammo, it just seems to me like a waste.
