Dipping my toe in the whisper pickle pool

[DocPeanut]

I have a feeling it’s gonna end up going from toe to cannonball

I’m eyeing up cans that can cover different calibers, all in one.

Any feedback on the silencerco hybrid 46m? I’m looking to suppress 9mm, 45 and 10mm. I’m sure I’ll be into a 300blk soon enough, just gotta figure out if I should buy one or build the pistol, but that’s a story for another time

I prefer matching cans to their applications. Jack of all trades, master of none sorta thing. Yes it works, but why wait up to a year for something that does a lot of things sorta well vs something that excels at a specific task. The entire point was to make it quieter. Might as well get the best one for the host application.

Get a 22 can up front even if it means you need to buy a host for it. They make the best gateway drugs.

I’ve got a tx-22, came with the threaded barrel. A can for that is definitely on the radar

You can reasonably get away with three, minimum. A .22lr, a .30 caliber can that will double duty with the .223/5.56, And then a big bore can to cover everything in the .45 caliber spectrum. If you have no plans on going above 9mm, then I would get one in lieu of the big bore can.

It’s only money, right lol

This. I have a couple of .22 Silencerco Sparrows, one Silencerco Omega .30 cal, and a Silencerco Osprey .45. Pretty much covers all of my whisper pickle needs.

Silly question I’m sure, but would a .30 cal pickle cover the 300 blk?

Yes.

Absolutely. It's the same bullet. I use my .30 can on my 300Blk as well as one of my 5.56(the long range gun). That can has zero POI change on any gun I put it on.

 

[DocPeanut]

Many thanks gentlemen. This whole area is brand new to me. I’m learning as I go. And to think, this all started with a form 1 for an SBR. Y’all are a bad influence on me, but I’m not complaining lol

You’re hosed.

What kind of machine guns do you like?

You say that and I laugh but I’ve already been looking how I could possibly own one lol

Lol!

Hypothetical question for the brain trust. Many cans have 2 piece tubes that you can use full length or shorten like the Banish 46 with removable end caps.

Say you bought a 22 can that has a removable cap that is a bit short and loud and you want to extend the tube via a union to improve its performance. Is it legal to extend the tube via a union and perhaps some extra baffles to perhaps reduce the -db? The can is legal, tax paid, serialized etc. Asking for a friend.

I know.

I only have one. 2 kids in college…when they are done, though….

No, you cannot alter your supressor. You also cannot own extra supressor baffles.

Thanks for the scoop. I'll let my friend know that it is OK to buy a long multi piece can and shorten it, but never make it longer than the original OEM config to preserve your hearing.

That's not exactly true. There are some cans on the market that allow you to add/ remove baffles at will and alter the length without violating the law. The baffles on a Maxim 9 are my first thought and the switchback is another.

SilencerCo Switchback 22, The Most Versatile Rimfire Suppressor

The Switchback 22 is the best performing rimfire suppressor on the market. It’s modular, lightweight, and has unmatched sound reduction.

Different lengths - Sig Mod-X 9mm and .45 have multiple segments, 3d printed from titanium.

Multi-caliber - DeadAir Sandman .30 cal, you can buy a 556 endcap that reduces sound and flash.
