There is currently no subsonic 300 BLK I would consider for HD. Even when there is reliably expanding 300 BLK subsonic it probably won't be optimal for HD.
I see subsonic as useful for very limited MIL applications, varmints, and fun.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Thanks for all the replies- if I were going to go supersonic, I'd just use a suppressed AR. Cheaper ammunition, not much louder, and in terms of practicality, it's all there.
The 300BLK round for me is novelty now. I'd still like to get one, but I wouldn't be shooting it very much unless I reloaded, because I just can't justify a mag dump on $.80 a round.
I guess I'm going to build a suppressed 5.56 SBR and go with 147gr subsonic 9mm...

I think your last post hit it. Use an AR shooting supersonic ammo. Less over penetration issues. 300 blackout seems like a lot for home defense. Subsonic 300 blackout will go through rail road ties. I wouldn't want to shoot it in the house, terminal performance not withstanding.
I 3 loaded firearms in the house. an AR loaded with 5.56 suppressed, 9mm subsonic, and a 12 gauge. I am building a 300 blackout but i wouldn't use it in that role.

If a large number of people are willing to kill you for saying something, then it probably really needs to be said. .
That is a good question, but I guess if you had to shoot something why would you use non-expanding 300blk ever? Is the comparison subsonic to subsonic? I'd use that 110gr hunting ammo in a second, which I think we can both agree is harder hitting than any 9mm.
Either way, since I think I'd only ever had to shoot soft targets if anything the MP5/MP5k and can makes a fine house carbine. Much more so that a sbr 223 imo (I think I'd rather shoot myself that pop off a bunch of 10" 223 inside with no plugs). Exaggerating ofcourse.
Why would you not stick to suppressed supersonic ammo? Its suppressed so you practically eliminate the muzzle blast which is what hurts your ears. At in home distances there isn't much flight time for the sonic crack to be much if an issue. I would stick to supersonic.

Suppressed supersonic 300 BLK is far better than subsonic.
As for someone saying a handgun is better than an AR due to more mobility - I don't buy that at all. One can generally have much better shot placement with an AR than any handgun.
