    2 (or 3) suppressors to rule them all??

    I’m done putting this off. In your opinion, what would be the best choice of suppressors to run on the following?
    I’d like to get 2 suppressors, but if a 3rd would be far more ideal, I’m
    Definitely open to 3.

    Currently looking at the chimera and the Optimus, but it’s been so long since I’ve looked at what’s available/on the near horizon, I could be way off base.

    Glock 19’s and M9’s
    10.5” 5.56 SBR’s
    16” 5.56
    24” 6.5 creedmoor
    .257 weatherby mag
    7.62

    Don't forget a dedicated .22LR can. As much as I love my full size rifle/pistol cans, it's the .22 cans that see the most practical use - pest control and training new shooters without having to worry about them developing a flinch from the blast noise.

    The Optimus Micro could be used for your 16" 5.56 as well as any .22lr.

    Not good for your 10.5 though. So you could get a Griffin Recce-7 to cover your 10.5 and any .30 caliber needs. Plus you can share taper mounts with the Optimus.

    Then pick the pistol can of your choice. Eccentric instead of concentric cans allow you to skip the need for suppressor height sights.

    There you go, three cans including rimfire plus you could have two suppressed 5.56 guns at the same time.

    Many options.

    If you can do 4 cans, it should be 1 rimfire, 2 centerfire rifle (1 full size 762, 1 for an SBR 556), and 1 45ACP Suppressor.

    He's right, even if you have to add a little debt. You'll wait just about a year for the stamps, so see if you can find a local shop/range that will let you shoot them while you wait. Won't get to take them home, but it make the wait pretty easy.

    I really like the griffin rev9. Best balance of size and sound ive seen posted, great on 22, comes apart for deep cleaning, etc. 45 cans on 9 are loud IME although limited (not sure what cans they were.)

    Id get a 9 silencer (since you only have 9mm), a 556 mini, and a 308.

    Edit- itbdepends on what you want. A mini wont be quiet in the 10.5 but will knock the concussion down. Dont know how 308 silencers work on short 556, but the mini on a 16” makes a lot of sense... again depending in your use. If your 16” is a bench/range gun, maybe skip the mini.

    Omega9k and some newer 9 designs look good too. The gen3 rev9 can handle 556 for a few shots at a time, though I doubt its “quiet”.

    So I just did this, waiting on stamps now. But I bought 6 cans.

    6 is unnecessary, its "all I thought I'd ever need". I could easy cut it to 4, maybe even 3.

    I went with-
    Q- El camino 22lr. Seemed like a quiet and tough can. Simple too.
    AAC- Ti-Rant 9m
    AAC- Ti-Rant 45m
    Surefire 556 Socom RC2
    Q- Trash panda
    AAC- 762-SDN-6

    The Q .22lr can stays, you need a .22lr can.

    The two AAC pistol cans are very similar, other than caliber. I went with both because I wanted very quiet 9mm suppressed shooting. Using the 45 can on 9mm would not be as quiet as the 9mm can. I have a HK Mark23 and and wanted a 45 can for it. I won't shoot any other 45 guns suppressed, I just don't have or want other hosts, at heart i'm a 9mm man. I likely would have gone with only a 9mm can if not for the Mark23. If you want versatility for more calibers go 45 only. I don't see you have 45 guns listed.

    Surefire 5.56 RC2. I wanted a very good durable dedicated 5.56 suppressor. I knew this was what I wanted. You can get away with just a 7.62 can.

    Q Trash panda and AAC 762-sdn-6 are very similar cans. Both 7.62 with a emphasis on 300blk. Both designed by the same person, the trash panda is very new, the AAC is an older model. Difference is in construction. The Trash panda is lighter and shorter while fatter. The 762-SDN-6 should be more durable. They are different designs. I wanted them both to contrast the two. If only getting one it would be the AAC for that durability, one is titanium (q) the other is inconel(aac). The mounts are very different too, the AAC mount has its faults, the Q mount seems to be not that 'qd' but the suppressor does separate from the muzzle device. Q has one muzzle device, the AAC has many many different one to choose from.

    So you end up with
    Q- El Camino .22lr
    AAC Ti-Rant 45m
    AAC 762-sdn-6 for all centerfire rifle cartridges.

    If I was getting a fourth can i'd put the surefire on the list.

    This set up will give you the most versatility, but not the quietest shooting on undersized calibers like 9mm in the 45 can or 5.56 in the 7.62 can. Thats why I got 6 cans. Initially I was only going to get 1 7.62 can but at the end decided I wanted both.
