Default Which Handguns would you "can?"

Hopefully, with the anticipated relaxation of rules on Suppressors, cans, etc., I am thinking about which portions of my "inventory" I might consider for a can. The objective being, to suppress sound in the event one of my inventory is needed for HD/SD (primarily internal at home) and me not having time to don ear protection. I would never EDC such an item. It would stay in one of my "quick access ready safes" but "at the ready" (i.e. condition "1" or "0").



Of your inventory, what would y'all choose to "can?" I'm thinking, for example, about canning one of my RIA 1911 .45acps. I know I'll need to re-barrel it as the present barrel is not threaded for it (as are none of my HG's). No way to screw on a can. I could also consider re-barreling one of my Mossberg Shockwaves but, again, it would need to be re-barreled.



Or, maybe, I just need to drill and practice donning ear protection in a HD/SD SHTF scenario. I know how small my bedroom is. If something goes "bump in the night" I'm not sure I'd have the reaction time to retrieve my weapon and put on ears at the same time. I'd have to practice that. But I also know that having to fire any of my inventory from inside my small bedroom will reek havoc on my ear drums. Or, pretty much, anywhere inside the house.



Still, hopefully, I can have at least one of my handguns "canned" and at the ready for such a thing. Should I bother to can my 1911 (if possible), or another item?



Which item of yours would you choose?
