SilencerCo Hybrid 46 verdict?

[chamilton1909]

Evening gats and she gats. Do any of you fine people have any experience with the hybrid 46 from SiCo? I'm mulling over the idea of a .45 cal can, but the idea of a suppressed .45-70 or .458 is all too tempting. I've got dedicated rimfire/9mm/5.56/.30 cal cans already, so I don't care about the "one and done" approach, just think it adds some flexibility for big bore stuff that pistol cans lack. Are they any other suppressors I'm overlooking that are this versatile? Thanks!

As to your actual question, Id hit up @BigWaylon and @TARHEELSTATE for their opinions and expertise.

I’ve never shot a Hybrid. But there aren’t many other decently priced options out there that can handle 45-70 or 458.

Not sure I’d buy it for a dedicated pistol can, but if those two rifle calibers are on the table I’d buy one without much of a second thought...assuming the thread pitches you have are available or you’re willing to rethread if needed.

Thanks for the heads up @draco88

I have shot with one and have one in jail.

It is a solid can overall. The extra internal volume helps make up the difference in noise reduction on some calibers such as subsonic 300 blackout, but a dedicated can is still better. Pistols isnt bad if you like steel guns. Heavy on a glock or poly gun though.

Ultimately i got it cause Have plans for a suppressed 454 cassul and didn't have faith that a 45 auto can could handle the pressure. Now I just need to find the gun for it
