I use my AR in 9 mm the most out of many rifles I have. I have used it on animals from snakes to hog and it has done the job. Working and driving at night I occasionally need to finish off things I hit. The suppressor and 147 grain ammo is not going to wake any one up in a rural area for sure. Also allows me to practice at home in the dark whenever I want. Even with 200 acres, 200 rounds of 5.56 even suppressed are going to piss off the neighbors at 10:00 PM.

With the Aimpoint I feel comfortable with well aimed vital area shots to 50 yds on anything big where 9mm is questionable. With reloads or bulk boxed rounds the cost to operate is very low. I also have a dedicated small 22LR AR suppressed but it has basically no recoil and doesn’t feel right to practice with only. The 9mm also functions almost identically as far as reloading and malfunction clearing as the normal AR unlike the normal 22LR AR.

The 9mm is relatively low powered for self defense or medium game hunting, but for me the 9mm with suppressor is small enough to carry in a car and offers much better accurate and rapid fire than my handgun.
