Pistol Suppressor - Rifle Suppressor - 2 Stamps

[iego]

Hi,

I've heard a lot of discussion about being able to buy one pistol suppressor and one rifle suppressor, each that can handle multiple calibers?

If I can only get two suppressors in my life, one pistol, one rifle, are there best calibers/products to get?

Thanks,

I only shoot one Pistol Caliber (so far) 9mm. I shoot Rifle caliber from 6mm creedmoor to.223/556 to .300 blackout.

I also have a .22 rimfire, but that is different, or is it still in the rifle stack? ( or even on the 9mm stack?)

.22 is in its own category. Many pistol and rifle cans are not-serviceable. 22 is too dirty for cans that you can't open up and clean.

For pistol stuff, as long as the can is a larger diameter than the bullet, you should be good to go.

Same goes for rifle cans.

Even though a 6.5 grendal or creedmoor would fit through a 9mm pistol can, the pressure likely would be too high.

I'll let others chime in on the specifics.

Can I get by with two suppressors, two stamps?

I got a .45 can - Gemtech GM-45. It lets me shoot anything from 45 ACP down in pistol caliber, and also 300 Blackout as long as it's subsonic. I've had it mounted onto my 300 AAC SBR, my EVO Scorpion, and my Walther PPQs. It came with a .45 LID device (required for mounting on slide operated pistols). I bought a 9mm LID. You don't need one of those to mount it on a rifle barrel.

I chose this one for the specific reason of having one suppressor for multiple weapons. I also chose it because it's user serviceable. I can clean out the baffles on my own as needed.

The downside, if you can call it that, is I keep looking at additional hosts for it. (FN 45 Tactical and USP 45 Tactical have both been on my short list for a while). Or maybe just go straight to the MK25?

That pretty much jibes with my thoughts, Irving, thanks.

So as long as I buy the biggest pistol caliber I shoot (9mm) and the biggest rifle caliber I shoot (.300 blackout), I should be good to go... two suppressors, two stamps.

Is there a no brainer next step up of caliber I should anticipate needing? Like 10mm, etc?

Thanks,

One Suppressor, one stamp is even better, obv. Thanks Mattioo.

This sounds perfect for my needs, as long as the adapters aren't as much as suppressors are.

Would it be safe to say that this is the theory of buy the biggest caliber suppressor you can find, and adapt it to your shooting caliber?

One suppressor, many calibers, one stamp?

You will still need 2 if you want to shoot rifle and pistol. The pistol can can?t handle rifle pressures. The 300 sAAC subs are an exception because they generate pistol level pressures.

I see, biggest pistol caliber I can find (or am likely to shoot), and that also makes me think biggest rifle caliber I can find (or am likely to shoot)?

Then I am done, two suppressors, two stamps? (more or less)

Thanks,

You probably aren't going to want a 2 pound rifle can hanging off the end of a pistol.

ETA: Yeah, at minimum one rifle can, one pistol can.
