SilencerCo Suppressors: The Lineup, Mapped by How Many Guns You Want to Cover

SilencerCo is one of the biggest names in suppressors, and the reputation is earned: the Utah company has been building cans since 2008, and it says its Omega 300 is the most-sold suppressor ever. The problem is the catalog. SilencerCo sells cans with nearly identical names that do very different jobs, mount systems that don’t cross over, and prices that don’t sort the lineup the way you’d expect. The widest-coverage can in this guide costs less than two of the single-purpose ones. This guide maps ten SilencerCo suppressors by the variable that actually decides the purchase: how many of your guns you want one can to cover.

How SilencerCo’s Lineup Actually Sorts

Lay the ten cans out by price and the order tells you almost nothing. The Hybrid 46 covers pistol calibers from 9mm to .45 ACP and rifle calibers from 5.56 to .45-70, the widest coverage in the group, and it costs $610. The Scythe Ti is a rifle-only can, rated from .223 through .300 RUM, and isn’t rated for full-auto fire, yet it costs $745.99. The Spectre 9 covers 9mm and .300 Blackout but limits supersonic .300 Blackout to semi-auto, and it still costs more than the Cobalt-6 and stainless Omega 9K.

What does track the price is what a can is optimized for. The cans that cost more than their coverage suggests are either titanium, where the money buys weight, or built around a specialty design, like the Velos LBP’s low-back-pressure core. The Scythe Ti weighs 7.3 ounces against the Omega 300’s 12.6 ounces, and it costs about $148 more. The Spectre 9 weighs 3.9 ounces against the Omega 9K’s 7.3, and it costs about $25 more. The Omega 36M covers fewer calibers than the Hybrid 46M, yet it costs $85 more, and what the difference buys is weight: about 2.4 ounces less in each configuration.

So the real decision rule is a tradeoff between two things: how many of your guns one can covers, and how much it weighs on the end of each one. The broad-coverage cans are heavier, and the light cans are specialists. Once you know which side of that tradeoff you’re on, the catalog gets much smaller.

One Can for Nearly Everything

Hybrid 46: The Default

$610 at Guns.com · 7.61″ · 14.1 oz · Pistol 9mm–.45 ACP, rifle 5.56–.45-70, up to .338 Lapua · Full-auto rated

The Hybrid 46 is the reason this guide exists. It’s rated from 9mm pistols through .45-70 rifles, with retailers listing it up to .338 Lapua Magnum, which means one can may cover a 9mm carbine, an AR in 5.56, a .308 bolt gun, and a big-bore lever gun. The listing we linked is the DTM version, which ships with a 5/8×24 direct-thread Bravo mount, a .458 front cap, and Bravo tools. SilencerCo’s guidance isn’t fully consistent on its ceiling: one guide says .338 Lapua, while its 2025 .45-caliber guide says the Hybrid 46 DT shares the 46M’s range up to .460 Weatherby Magnum, so confirm with SilencerCo before running anything above .338 Lapua.

The tradeoff is weight and optimization. At 14.1 ounces, it’s heavy on a pistol or a light rifle, and a can built for a .46-caliber bore won’t suppress a small cartridge as efficiently as a dedicated can will. Swapping the front cap to match the caliber helps. Pistol use requires a Bravo Piston Mount plus a piston matched to the barrel thread, both sold separately. If you want the most guns covered for the money, that’s the price of admission. We cover the Hybrid 46 in depth, including what the accessories add to the real cost, in our SilencerCo Hybrid 46 review.

Hybrid 46M: Same Coverage, Two Lengths

$735.99 at Guns.com · 5.78″ short / 7.72″ long · 12.2–14.9 oz · Rated up to .460 Weatherby, per SilencerCo · Full-auto rated in both lengths

The 46M keeps the Hybrid’s big-bore coverage and adds a removable front module. Run it short on a pistol or short-barreled rifle, where length matters, then add the module back for more suppression on a full-size rifle. SilencerCo rates both configurations for full-auto fire, and lists coverage including .45 Auto, 10mm, .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, .45-70, and .338 Lapua.

The tradeoff is price and hardware. At Guns.com, the 46M costs about $126 more than the Hybrid 46 DTM, a much smaller gap than we saw at other retailers. It also ships with a Charlie ASR quick-detach mount rather than direct thread, so it uses a different mount family than the Hybrid 46. If you’ll move one can between a pistol and a rifle often, modularity earns its keep. If the can will mostly live on rifles, the Hybrid 46 does the job for less.

Omega 36M: Modular Coverage Without the Big Bore

$820.99 at Guns.com · 4.90″ short / 6.85″ long · 9.8–12.5 oz · Pistol 5.7×28–9mm, rifle 5.56–.338 Lapua, up to .350 Legend · Full-auto rated

The Omega 36M is modular like the Hybrid 46M, with a removable front section, but it’s built around a .36-caliber bore instead of a .46. That means it covers most pistol and rifle calibers short of the true big-bores, and it’s lighter in both configurations. SilencerCo rates it down to 10-inch barrels in 5.56 and 16-inch in .308; check the current manual for magnum minimums, since SilencerCo’s published figures vary. It lists muzzle averages of 123.3 dB with 9mm and 130.6 dB with 5.56, and ships with a Charlie ASR mount, without a muzzle device.

The tradeoff is coverage for weight. At Guns.com it costs $85 more than the Hybrid 46M, yet it doesn’t cover .45-70, .450 Bushmaster, or .458 SOCOM. If you’ll never shoot a big-bore cartridge, the lighter can is worth it. If you might, the Hybrid 46M covers more for less.

Rifle Cans

Omega 300: The Rifle Workhorse

$597.99 at Guns.com · 6.98″ · 12.6 oz (DTM) · 5.56–.300 Win Mag · Full-auto rated

SilencerCo calls the Omega 300 the most-sold suppressor ever, and the spec sheet explains the appeal. It’s rated from 5.56 through .300 Win Mag, full-auto rated, and warrantied for short barrels down to 7 inches in .300 Blackout, 10 inches in 5.56, 16 inches in 7.62 NATO, and 20 inches for magnums. SilencerCo lists its materials as 17-4 stainless and Grade 9 titanium, with a Cobalt 6 blast baffle. The DTM version we linked ships with a Bravo direct-thread mount, which retailers say makes it about three-quarters of an inch shorter than the ASR version.

The tradeoff is weight against the Scythe Ti. For a carbine, a precision rifle, or anything you’ll shoot fast, the Omega 300 is the more rugged choice. It’s the least expensive centerfire can in this guide, too. Our SilencerCo Omega 300 review covers it in depth, including why SilencerCo’s own figures put the lighter Scythe Ti lower on most shared hosts.

Scythe Ti: The Hunter’s Can

$745.99 at Guns.com · 6.16″ · 7.3 oz · .223–.300 RUM · Semi-auto and bolt-action only

The Scythe Ti is SilencerCo’s first suppressor built entirely from titanium, and it’s the lightest centerfire rifle can in this guide by a wide margin. It covers .223 up through .300 RUM with no barrel length restrictions, uses SilencerCo’s Bravo mounting system on the industry-standard 1.375×24 HUB rear thread, and ships with a titanium direct-thread mount and a single-port anchor brake. For a rifle you carry up a mountain, 5.3 ounces less than the Omega 300 is a real difference.

The tradeoff is ruggedness. SilencerCo doesn’t rate the Scythe Ti for full-auto fire, and it advises against excessive rapid fire because high rates of fire can damage the titanium. That’s the right call for a hunting rifle and the wrong one for a range carbine. Separately, owners have reported Scythe Ti weld separations in forum threads, many involving magnum rifles; the Scythe Ti isn’t on SilencerCo’s 2023 recall, and there’s no published failure rate. Our SilencerCo Scythe Ti review covers that tradeoff in depth, including why SilencerCo’s own published sound figures for it don’t agree.

Velos LBP: For the Suppressed AR

$862.99 at Guns.com · 5.98″ · 15.2 oz · 5.56 NATO / .223 · Full-auto rated, no barrel restrictions

The Velos LBP is built around one problem: gas blowback on a suppressed AR, which sends gas and fouling back through the action and into the shooter’s face. Its low-back-pressure design routes gas forward instead. It uses a 3D-printed Inconel 625 core welded to 17-4 stainless steel modules, plus SilencerCo’s Hoplon blast baffle, and SilencerCo calls it the most durable suppressor it has made. It ships with a Charlie ASR mount, a 1/2×28 ASR flash hider, and an internal flash hider front cap. SilencerCo lists a 137.1 dB muzzle average on 5.56.

The tradeoff is scope and weight. This version is dedicated to 5.56 and .223, it weighs 15.2 ounces, and it’s the second most expensive can in this guide. If gas in the face is what bothers you about shooting suppressed, it’s the can built to fix it. If it isn’t, the Omega 300 covers far more for less.

Pistol and PCC Cans

Omega 9K: Compact and Hard-Wearing

$622.99 at Guns.com · 4.54″ · 7.3 oz · 9mm and .300 BLK, subsonic and supersonic · Full-auto rated with pistol calibers

The Omega 9K is a short, tubeless, fully welded can built from Cobalt-6 and stainless steel. It’s rated for 9mm plus both subsonic and supersonic .300 Blackout, which makes it unusually flexible for a compact pistol can. Retailers note it’s most at home on fixed-barrel hosts like pistol-caliber carbines and subguns. Guns.com and Silencer Central both list it with a 5/8×24 Alpha direct-thread mount, so 1/2×28 hosts need a matching Alpha mount, and tilting-barrel pistols need a piston, both sold separately.

The tradeoff is weight against the Spectre 9. At 7.3 ounces, it’s heavy for a pistol can, but its Cobalt-6 and stainless construction handles hard use. If it’ll mostly live on a PCC or a subgun, the Omega 9K is the sturdier choice. We cover it in depth, including its 5/8×24 mount and how it compares to other “9K” cans, in our SilencerCo Omega 9K review.

Spectre 9 Ti: The Lightweight Pistol Can

$647.99 at Guns.com · 4.76″ · 3.9 oz · 9mm and .300 BLK · Full-auto rated for 9mm and subsonic .300 BLK; supersonic .300 BLK semi-auto only

The Spectre 9 is built entirely from titanium and weighs 3.9 ounces, about half the Omega 9K. On a handgun, that difference is noticeable. It ships with SilencerCo’s piston mount, though SilencerCo’s spec sheet lists the piston itself as sold separately, and SilencerCo says it’s one of the few suppressors that can run on a full-auto Glock. SilencerCo lists its muzzle average at 132.7 dB with 9mm.

The tradeoff is .300 Blackout. The Spectre 9 is rated for full-auto with subsonic .300 BLK but only semi-auto with supersonic, while the Omega 9K is rated for both subsonic and supersonic .300 BLK. If the can is mostly for a handgun, the Spectre 9 is the better fit for about $25 more. Our SilencerCo Spectre 9 review covers it in depth, including why the shorter Spectre 9K is the louder of the two.

Rimfire

Sparrow 22: Where Most People Start

$256.99 at Guns.com · 5.08″ · 6.5 oz · .22 LR through 5.7×28 · Full-auto rated for .22 LR

The Sparrow has been SilencerCo’s rimfire can since 2008, and at $256.99 it’s by far the least expensive entry in this guide. It’s all stainless and user-serviceable, which matters for rimfire, because .22 LR fouls a can fast. The tradeoff is scope: it’s a rimfire and small-bore can only.

We covered the Sparrow in depth, including cleaning and how it stacks up against its rivals, in our SilencerCo Sparrow 22 review. If you’re weighing it against the Dead Air Mask, our Dead Air Mask review puts the two side by side.

A Different Job Entirely

Salvo 12: The Shotgun Can

$1,027.99 at Guns.com · About 6.7–12.5″ · About 20–34 oz · 12 gauge · Modular, user-serviceable

The Salvo 12 does something nothing else in this guide does: it suppresses a 12-gauge shotgun. It’s modular in four lengths, from about 6 to 12 inches, so you can trade suppression for weight and length depending on whether you’re shooting clays or carrying it through a turkey woods. SilencerCo currently publishes about 136.8 dB at the muzzle with No. 7 shot in the full-length configuration. Shortening the Salvo trades some suppression for reduced length and weight. It’s built from aluminum and stainless steel and is user-serviceable.

The tradeoffs are size and fit. It’s the heaviest, most expensive can here, and it attaches through your shotgun’s choke threads, so it requires a choked barrel and the correct choke adapter for your specific shotgun, sold separately. Confirm your model before you order.

SilencerCo Comparison Table

Sorted by price. Notice how little the price order has to do with how many guns each can covers.

What SilencerCo Does Well, and Where It Doesn’t

It covers every job. Rimfire, pistol, rifle, big-bore, and shotgun are all covered by one manufacturer, which makes SilencerCo an easy brand to build around as your collection grows.

Its mount systems let one can serve several guns. SilencerCo’s Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie mount families, including ASR quick-detach mounts, let you move a can between hosts by fitting each gun with a compatible muzzle device. SilencerCo’s Bravo rear thread is the industry-standard 1.375×24 HUB pattern, which gives Bravo cans such as the Omega 300, Hybrid 46, and Scythe Ti access to compatible third-party HUB mounting systems in addition to SilencerCo’s own mounts. SilencerCo’s pistons also carry across mount families, so a piston bought for one SilencerCo pistol can may work with another.

It offers real modularity. The Hybrid 46M, Omega 36M, and Salvo 12 change length, and swappable front caps and anchor brakes let many models tune for caliber and recoil.

It stands behind the product. SilencerCo offers a limited lifetime warranty on its suppressors and instructs owners to register the product to activate coverage. Its field manuals state that the warranty extends only to the original registered purchaser, which matters if you’re considering a used can.

And where it falls short:

The catalog is genuinely confusing. Near-identical names, DTM versus ASR versions of the same can, and three mount families that don’t interchange make it easy to buy the wrong configuration. The next section lists the specific traps.

Many of the centerfire cans are sealed. The fully welded Omega 300 and Omega 9K can’t be taken apart for cleaning, and SilencerCo recommends against lead projectiles in its sealed suppressors. The Sparrow and Salvo are the clearly user-serviceable models here, so check each can’s manual before assuming you can service it.

The broad-coverage cans are heavy. At 14-plus ounces, the Hybrids add real weight to a pistol or a light rifle. Versatility has a cost, and it shows up at the muzzle.

Buying Without Getting Burned

One more thing to know before you buy from this guide: it’s a map of the most useful SilencerCo cans, not the complete catalog.

Living With a SilencerCo

Treat sealed cans as sealed. Welded SilencerCo cans like the Omega 300 and Omega 9K can’t be taken apart for routine baffle cleaning, and maintenance is limited and model-specific, so follow the manual rather than trying to disassemble them. That’s also why SilencerCo recommends against lead projectiles in them. Keep lead rimfire in a serviceable can like the Sparrow.

Clean the serviceable ones on a schedule. SilencerCo recommends cleaning the Sparrow roughly every 1,000 rounds and warns against solvents and ultrasonic cleaning on its outer tube. Follow each model’s manual, since procedures differ.

Check mounts and match front caps. Direct-thread mounts can loosen with use, so check tightness regularly. On models with swappable front caps, running a cap matched to your caliber helps suppression.

Keep hearing protection handy. A suppressed centerfire gun is still loud enough to damage hearing in many setups. Our ear protection guide covers what still makes sense to wear.

SilencerCo FAQ

Bottom Line

If you want one can for most of your guns, the Hybrid 46 covers the most ground for $610, and the Omega 36M is the lighter modular choice if you never shoot big-bore rifles.

If your rifles are carbines and precision guns, the Omega 300 is the rugged, full-auto-rated choice, and if you’ll carry a rifle a long way, the Scythe Ti saves over 5 ounces. If blowback on a suppressed AR is the problem, the Velos LBP is built to fix it.

If it’s for a pistol, the Spectre 9 Ti is the light one, and the Omega 9K is the tough one for PCCs.

If you’re starting with rimfire, the Sparrow 22 at $256.99 is the least expensive way in.

If you want to suppress a shotgun, the Salvo 12 is the only one here that can.
