I bought a Dead Air Mask last year. 6 months later I bought a TBAC Ultra 9. I'm hooked and I want to suppress everything. What platform should I consider for shooting suppressed 9mm? I'm leaning towards a PCC. No SBRs. It will mostly be used as a range toy, but don't take that to mean I'm indifferent towards reliability. I would like to keep it under $2,000 not including optics. LRBHO is ideal.
 
Do you reload? What ammo will you shoot? Not all Factory 147gr will stay subsonic from a 16" barrel.

If no SBR l, what about pistol brace? Keeping the barrel short makes for a much better balance and feel.

I'd go with this:
It is radial delayed blowback, so quieter and safer than the simple blowbacks. Glock mags and they offer buffer weights to tune performance.

Pick a barrel length based on how much handguard you want to hold and mount stuff on.
3-lug muzzle and dot sight gets it done.
