Hello. Am looking for best options for some hosts. Have never had a suppressor, so forgive my ignorance here and am open to any advice. I don’t know what brands of suppressors are best. In my novice thinking, it seems a suppressor that can be disassembled is easier to keep clean? A friend once told me that if he has a baffle strike on his suppressor, he can order a replacement for that single baffle for his unit. I know some of them don’t have individual baffles, though. (He’s the one that told me that some models can’t be opened by the end user, I don’t know.)
I would like a suppressor (and brand) for the following platforms:
1. AR-15 and bolt action .223s. Barrel lengths can range from 16” - 20”. Would also use this for predator hunting.
2. .308 - this would be on a bolt action. Maybe on an FAL and M1A, if that’s possible. 20” - 26” barrel lengths.
3. .45 - this would be on a G21 or some such. I’m assuming a suppressor that would work on a .45-70 would be too large for a pistol, also?
4. .22 LR. Bolt action rifle, 10/22 semi and .22 pistols (Ruger MkII/IV, Beretta). Can the rifle suppressor work on the pistol?
5. 9mm for pistol and carbine
6. Other calibers, such as .243, .300 Win Mag, etc. Can the .308 suppressor be used on these?
How inefficient is it to use a can for something like a .308, on a .223 and .243? What about a .45 ACP can on a 9mm?
Also don’t know the benefits/drawbacks to materials choices - steel, aluminum, titanium tubes and baffles.
I know these are a lot of novice questions. After re-reading this, maybe too much for one post!
Thanks for any help!
