To avoid hearing damage.
I'm pretty sure if you discharge a centerfire pistol in an enclosed space, you're going to have some permanent hearing loss and probably ringing in your ears for a few days.
I don't understand why police departments didn't make them standard years ago.

Re: Suppressor Carry
In Texas, it is a felony offense to possess a supressor (the statute says silencer -- PC 6.05(4)). Having NFA registration is a defense to prosecution.
IANAL, but that kind of thing makes me uncomfortable. It would be a lot better for the legal owner of NFA stuff if it were an exception.
Other than that, I can't see how use of a suppressor could be a factor in otherwise justified self defense. The press would have a field day, though.
