I bought some on sale not really knowing much about it. UPS dropped it off yesterday evening and being the geriatric version of a ten year old, I had to try it out IMMEDIATELY. Test bed was my somewhat problematic 10-22 Charger which has problems with sub-sonics across the board-about 30% fail to cycle rate.
It was getting late so accuracy testing amounted to 20 shots fired at the 8" steel plate @ 100 yards using a 2.5x scope. OK accuracy considering but the good part was 100% cycling and function. Grandson commented he could see a few of the bullets in flight. :)
These may prove out to be good for hunting/vermin control as the bullets seem really soft.

Is that with or without a suppressor?
I don't have experience with suppressors or subsonic ammo.
 
Suppressed. Grandson said he could hear a slight 'whish' of the bullet in flight and there wasn't any reflected sonic signature like we sometimes get from standard velocity ammo.
Just guessing the 1025 fps stated velocity is from 16"(+) barrels.
