I posted this before —- but try witt machine SME — it’s impressive - I love mine for HD — projects the concussion, crack and gasses towards the enemy.
When using a 5.56 rifle for home defense you’ll be dealing with deafening sounds and blinding flashes in confined spaces. A suppressor mitigates the effects of both keeping you in the fight at peak performance.
An excellent alternative (one I can personally vouch for) is the Witt Machine SME- Sound Mitigation Equipment , a non class iii sound / flash suppression device.

Shoot it in an actual confined space and it is not really any quieter for the shooter. Something like this, blast forwarded or linear comp directs the blast and some of the sound forward. In an enclosed room, it is just going to echo back. The effect is going to be minor at best for the shooter.
Even not in an enclosed space you might see 2-5dB of reduction at the shooters ear. That’s a heck of a lot better than nothing for sure.
But even a crappy suppressor is going to knock the sound back about 20+ dB.
