I wanted to say something cute but I can't beat that.Does that mean Texas is the... silent majority?
Don't suppress yourself . . .I wanted to say something cute but I can't beat that.
It can. It's not always optimum, but you can (as an example), use a silencer designed for a .45ACP on a 9mm pistol, assuming you can adapt the suppressor to the thread pitch of the barrel. Manufacturers make this pretty easy. You can also use a suppressor for a .30cal rifle on a 6.8SPC, 6.5CM, .270, 5.56, etc.Maybe I need one. Not sure what I would put it on, or how that all works. I’d have to get a threaded barrel, also, right?
Total silencer noob here.
Can the same silencer fit on different firearms?
So. You kind of buy a suppressor for a specific caliber of firearm,It can.

Probably the greatest fun with a suppressor comes from shooting .22LR suppressed. Just silly stupid quiet and really useful for pest eradication on a low-key basis.
I think I'm up over fifteen suppressors now . . . or at least I would be but for that lousy marine accident . . .
So. You kind of buy a suppressor for a specific caliber of firearm,
not for a specific make/ model of a particular firearm, right?
So I could buy a 9 mm suppressor, and that could theoretically fit all my 9mm firearms, just provided I obtain a threaded barrel for that firearm I want to attach it to? Do I seem to have it understood correctly? (I need a suppressor 101 class.)

Yeah and to echo what Cam said above, as long as the bullet will fit thru the can, you can use one suppressor for many calibers.
For example, the one I have in jail right now can handle a 308 and anything smaller. So my 6.5CM and 223/556 are able to use the same can.
45ACP is a big gullet, so a 9mm can be shot thru the same can.

I have a Knights Armament Company MP5 suppressor that is full auto rated. It truly is a great suppressor, but I cannot use it on my semi auto Sig226 or Glock19 because it lacks a Nielson Device aka recoil booster.Can the same silencer fit on different firearms?
