it definitely has its uses (and .45 ACP is actually inherently subsonic, as an added bonus, so you don’t even need to get separate specialized ammo), it’s just that the smaller the pistol gets, the harder it is to actually cycle it, especially under duress, since you just have less stuff to grip,
For the Semmerling specifically, official technique is actually to cycle it with your thumb, which is pretty peculiar (and the extra mass of a suppressor might make that somewhat less viable)

honestly it seems sorta easy to slip up and have your thumb bit by the action if you’re not careful
