I agree with Interceptor. If you can stand to have 6" cut of the barrel and have it rethreaded and crowned, then you should be good to go with subsonics. You will lose supersonic performance of course.
Shorter barrels also don't have to be quite as thick as longer barrels for stiffness. The weight of the suppressor will change the harmonic resonance frequency. The can costs more than altering the barrel. Heck, you could get a completely new barrel for less than the can.
Too bad swapping out barrels in a 700 is not a quick change.
