Best Multi Caliber Suppressor Choices of 2021

Here at Silencer Shop, we sell a lot of adaptable, modular, and multi-use suppressors that can fulfill more than just one role in your arsenal. But if you're looking for one suppressor that meets as many of your needs as possible, look no further. Welcome to the multi caliber suppressor category.

As the name suggests, every suppressor listed on this best of list has the ability to be used on a wide variety of calibers. One important consideration is what calibers those are. As you’ll see, some of these multi cal suppressor options listed are .22lr, for example, meaning that you’ll need to service your suppressor if you plan on actually shooting that ammo.

Another consideration you will want to keep in mind is the accessory options available. While the suppressor is compatible with everything under the sun, you’ll need to consider the attachment method and prepare for what you’ll need. A great example of this is if you need extra hardware for a booster assembly in order to shoot your multi cal suppressor on your handgun.

The multi cal category contains a number of distinctive options. We've shared this list to help you get started on your search or perhaps reach a final decision. Below are the specs for each of the top multi caliber suppressor choices — the particular advantages of each option are discussed below.

The SilencerCo Hybrid 46 can cover the gamut of what's in the average gun safe: anything from 9mm to .338LM (it's not made for rimfire). With fully welded steel construction, it's incredibly durable and full auto rated — AND it's not heavy.

It’s not only that, though. This hybrid suppressor is adaptable to fit most firearms, whether they’re direct thread to quick detach. With seemingly every attachment system under the SilencerCo sun available to the Hybrid 46, you’ll be hard pressed to find a host it doesn’t fit on within its caliber rating.

Final verdict: The Hybrid 46 is versatile — it can adapt to work on nearly any mounting system — and durable. It's one of the top performing suppressors in this category, so there's no surprise it made the list.

The SilencerCo 36M has an incredible range. Rated from 22 Hornet to 338LM, it's a real "caliber glutton." And as one of two modular suppressors in this category, it can be shorter and lighter for smaller calibers, or it can run well on handguns, PCCs, and rifles. Further, it's compatible with all Charlie mounts.

Paired with this versatility is incredible durability: a fully welded core, cobalt 6 rear construction, and Inconel baffles make it extremely resistant to wear and tear.

Final verdict: The SilencerCo 36M is a heavy hitter. It has in spades everything you want from a multi cal suppressor: versatility, durability, and strong performance.

The Griffin Armament Bushwhacker 46 can tackle everything from a .22 up to 45-70 Govt. Wow. (It doesn't, unfortunately, suppress the kitchen sink).

The Bushwhacker is also light, so feel free to take it along on hunting stalks. With reduced backpressure thanks to its baffle design, it performs best on big bore hosts. But its Ratchet Lok end cap system makes it easy to disassemble and clean, so don't worry about running dirty rimfire ammo as well.

Final verdict: Like the Optimus, the Griffin Armament Bushwhacker is a strong jack-of-all-trades. It comes with a Plan A taper mount interface — a perfect blend of minimized weight and maximized performance.

If you're shopping for multi cal suppressor options, you might be a fan of one-stop shopping. The Griffin Armament Optimus, rated from .22 up to 300 WM, is a wonderful option for you. It comes with tons of accessories in the box, including a taper mount extension interface (for 5/8x24, .30 cal), a taper mount EZ brake muzzle device, a universal piston (QD adapter separate), a booster assembly, and, to top it all off, 9mm and .22 caliber end caps.

Speaking of .22lr ammo, the Optimus is user serviceable, so keeping it clean is a breeze. It's also modular, so you can use a shorter, lighter configuration on lower pressure ammo. We love getting multiple suppressors for one tax stamp!
