One suppressor for everything
I would like a suppressor I could use on my AR15 .223 as well as a JustRight 9mm carbine. Also would want to use it on .22lr as well. What is out there that won't break the bank?

Re: One suppressor for everything
You should really consider 2 silencers at a minimum if you want to shoot 22LR.
Get a good 22 silencer and one of these:
Liberty cosmic
Liberty mystic
SilencerCo hybrid

Re: One suppressor for everything
I already have one .22lr suppressor . But would want the option of using one can for all 3 calibers.

Re: One suppressor for everything
Sorry, I don't know any commercial cans that meet your criteria.
I don't care what your chart says
Re: One suppressor for everything
Why? Use your 22 silencer for 22 and buy a centerfire silencer that you can use on any centerfire.Twin wrote:I already have one .22lr suppressor . But would want the option of using one can for all 3 calibers.

Re: One suppressor for everything
Why would you want to ruin your center fire can with lead that you can never fully clean out?
The moments I was censored was the moment that I won. That's twice, now.Thanks jwbaker, et al, for my victories.
Re: One suppressor for everything
To clarify. The can would be mainly for 9mm and 223. I just want to know if it would be possible and/or efficient to use the same can on a 22. I want something that can be cleaned. I know how dirty a 22 can gets from using a monocore can I have for 22 now.

Re: One suppressor for everything
9mm and 223 are so inherently different that making a can that works well on both has never been achieved. That's why you can't go out and buy one.
If you want a can that will muffle 9mm and will muffle 223, sure it can be done.
Just not very as effectively on either as a dedicated can would be.
And further, needing to use heavier materials to withstand the 223 heat, will make for a heavy can regardless of what you mount it on.
My first can was made in order for me to have a "universal can" and for that, it did. I've used it on a lot of guns.
yes, 22lr does sound good on it. But having a pound and a half suppressor on the end of a 22, to be quite honest, is ludicrous.
I don't use it very often these days. It does sound pretty good on pistol caliber (subsonic guns). But on rifle calibers, is not hearing safe and obnoxious.

Re: One suppressor for everything
it will work, but it will suck. Just dont, especially since you already have a 22LR can. Just buy a liberty mystic/infinity x and be done. Keep using your 22 can for 22The can would be mainly for 9mm and 223. I just want to know if it would be possible and/or efficient to use the same can on a 22

Re: One suppressor for everything
1972 Pontiac Catalina convertibles don’t do Nuremburg too well, and it’s hard to get laid in a Lamborghini. Some things are better suited for certain purposes.

Re: One suppressor for everything
But I bet it would be easier to get laid if you owned a Lamborghini than a Catalina.

Aussie pal said " .... a Lamborghini is a wanker's car. Cannot come close to
an Aston Martin." Have to agree.
Especially the 2007 Vantage ... with its new upgraded clutch.
Jay Leno said long ago: " CHIPS pulled over a driver weaving all over
the highway. When they approached a young lady's head lifted into
view from leaning over driver's lap. The highway patrol said that
this happens around 10% of the time with California
drivers. The other 90% do not drive Porsches."
Best.
Re: One suppressor for everything
Anything is possible....Do what the guy above suggested and get a Mystic X, I have put that long thing on a .22 with a FBA and it will work to some degree but why? If you get any efficient 9mm or 5.56 can it usually comes with 1/2 x 28 threads, same as most .22 RFs.Twin wrote:To clarify. The can would be mainly for 9mm and 223.

People may laugh at you and you will not be able to come up with any real answer to why?
Use your .22 can and buy another one for 9 and .223, the Mystic X or Cosmic (I own both) like the man said will do the job but remember there is always a trade off when you try to get one ring to rule them all. Usually the real suppressor addicts (I have about 38.. it's worse than heroin) want a dedicated can for each specific purpose gun or at least one for each specific caliber, made and optimized for that caliber.
If it's a matter of money, just look at how much you paid for what you and possible your partner both drive.
Happy hunting.

Re: One suppressor for everything
I got laid in a non running VW bug once.... when you really want some its amazing how flexible the two of you can be... of course I was skinny then and had hair... and my back hadn't yet been ruined by firefighting/medic work, and my hot dog stayed up all night... well, I'm depressed enough now and it's only 8:35 in the morning in Alaska but since it's Saturday I guess I can put some Carolans in my coffee... Goint to try a Turbo K after seeing two great reviews - differing dB numbers from identical machines though... Anyone else noticed that Silencer Shops numbers are running higher lately? That might explain the ringing in my ears from going with old numbers...?
