Suppressed? Have at it.

My friend keeps a Draco in his ride for just such reason. The cartridge is still effective out of the short barrel.

Thank you for the lesson, and the humility to post. As at least one other has asked, did you note any hearing damage....or get checked with an audiologist for any damage? There is some evidence that auditory exclusion can occur during the stress of lethal-force encounter. Perhaps that total surprise at the shot helped protect your ears, also?

The 16" 9mm carbine above it gets 1525 fps with the same load and reduces the sound intensity by half compared to the 8.3" 9mm pistol at 117 dB.

Great info in that post.....BUT.....

WHAT are your two posted examples, or are they your own builds?
Also, what is the maker of that gorgeous stock on the top-pictured Mini-14?
