Looking to purchase my first suppressor and I'm 99% sure on the Silencerco Hybrid 46M. Im a LEO in Louisiana and I'm seeing a huge variation in pricing on them between dealers. Any suggestions on dealers or comparable cans? Thanks

How are you going to file? Individual or Trust?

I've always found that Silencer Shop has been by far the easiest way to get into the game. With them you can see price differences between dealers and pick whichever one you prefer wether it's price or location or a combination of both.

As for specific cans, it seems like you have your mind made up already.

I'm not very knowledgeable about what's out there, any suggestions other than the hybrid 46 and reason is appropriated

Fair enough. Without knowing how you will use a suppressor and on what calibers it's impossible to make a recommendation.

Maybe you can make a list of 5 things that are most important to you and then we can take it from there. In addition to that we need to know what hosts are involved as well.
 
Is that the one that will thread on over the Silencerco ASR brake?
It ships with the brake quick attach rear cap or threaded rear cap,which is how i use it. It also has the anchor break for the muzzle end, but I prefer the shorter flat front cap which also comes with it.

So most important factors
Multi caliber pistol/rifle
Quality
Warranty

Gun will be
.308 (of course)
350 legend
300 win mag
9mm
.45acp
As per usual the normal caveats apply.
They are (in no order):

You 'say' you only want one suppressor. In five years you will have at least 3-4 of them.
Dedicated suppressors (per caliber) in my opinion will give better customer satisfaction than a single do-all can.

That being said here is another option:

Personally I would go with them, but that is at least partially because I have 8 of their cans already.

your comment made me lol because I once had the mentality of 1 suppressor and now I have one for each rifle and I just ordered one for my M107A1
 
A 45 cal suppressor is likely to be unsatisfactorily loud on anything other than a 45. And a rifle rated can is likely be long, heavy, and unwieldy on a pistol. I would be looking for a 300 win mag rated 30 cal can and a 45 cal can (Pistol) for the rest. You could shoot 9mm and probably 350 legend through the 45 cal can, and leave the 308 rifle calibers for the 30 cal can. Once you’ve decided that the 45 isn’t optimum on the 9mm and the 350 legend you can add to your collection, but you’ll have something to scratch the itch in the interim.

Everyone wants one can to rule them all. Everyone ends up with 1/2 a dozen cans that are all purpose driven.

As to more specific advice, buy as many as you can reasonably afford all at once. You’re looking at a 9month wait once you get the paperwork done. Get a dedicated rimfire can- you’ll use it more than any other.

There are a lot of good suppressors and suppressor manufacturers out there, and I’d hazard to postulate that you’re unlikely to be dissatisfied with any of them. I’ll only throw out that yankee hill gives a lot of value per dollar.

Very sound advice. I was going to post something similar re: .45 cal but you put it very nicely.

And I agree that there are a ton of great manufacturers out there.

I actually went with the 46m. Got my form 4 approved in about a 3 week period. Thanks for the help I appreciate you
