Silencerco
SilencerCo is the largest suppressor manufacturer in the United States and the brand most responsible for bringing silencers into the American mainstream. Founded in 2008 in West Valley City, Utah, SilencerCo has introduced more suppressor innovations — the Osprey’s asymmetric design, the Hybrid’s multi-caliber modularity, the Maxim 9 integrally suppressed pistol — than any other manufacturer. With the $200 NFA tax stamp eliminated in 2026, now is the best time to pick up the SilencerCo can you’ve been considering.

The Osprey 2.0: SilencerCo’s Iconic Pistol Can
The SilencerCo Osprey is the most recognized pistol suppressor in American culture — its distinctive asymmetric octagonal shape keeps the suppressor’s bulk below the bore line, maintaining a more natural sight picture than cylindrical designs and allowing standard-height sights to co-witness on most pistols. The Osprey 2.0 is available in 9mm, .45 ACP, and .40 S&W configurations, with titanium and stainless construction depending on variant. The eccentric mount system allows 360-degree rotation to position the can optimally for any host pistol. For the shooter who wants a pistol suppressor that’s as practical as it is distinctive, the Osprey remains the benchmark.
The Omega 36M: SilencerCo’s Most Versatile Rifle Can
The SilencerCo Omega 36M is designed to cover the widest possible caliber range in a single suppressor. Rated for everything from 5.56 NATO to .338 Lapua Magnum, the Omega 36M handles the full spectrum of centerfire rifle calibers in one unit. The modular front cap system allows configuration for different calibers and attachment methods. For multi-gun households where one suppressor needs to serve an AR-15, a bolt-action hunting rifle, and possibly a .300 Blackout SBR, the Omega 36M is the practical one-size solution. Full-auto rated and serviceable, it’s designed for long-term ownership rather than disposable use.
The Hybrid 46M: Pistol and Rifle in One
The SilencerCo Hybrid 46M is SilencerCo’s solution for shooters who want a single suppressor that covers both pistol and rifle calibers. Rated from 9mm up to .46 caliber, the Hybrid handles 9mm pistols, .45 ACP, 5.56, .308, .300 Blackout, and more — a genuinely universal design for the shooter who wants maximum versatility from one NFA registration. The modular construction allows the end cap to be removed for shorter, lighter configuration on pistol hosts. For buyers making their first suppressor purchase and wanting maximum return on a single Form 4, the Hybrid 46M is one of the most compelling value propositions in the category.
SilencerCo’s .22 LR and Rimfire Options
SilencerCo produces some of the most capable rimfire suppressors available. The Switchback 22 is the company’s modular rimfire design, running in three configurations — as a full-length pistol can, a short pistol can, or a compact rifle configuration — depending on how many sections are assembled. The Sparrow 22 is SilencerCo’s serviceable rimfire option, designed to be disassembled and cleaned as .22 LR’s dirty combustion gases require more frequent maintenance than centerfire. Rimfire suppressors produce some of the most satisfying suppressed shooting experiences available, with standard velocity .22 LR achieving genuinely hearing-safe levels through a quality can.
SilencerCo Mounting Systems and Compatibility
SilencerCo uses their proprietary ASR (Active Spring Retention) mount system on most rifle suppressors, which provides positive lock-up and quick-detach capability without the play that plagues some QD designs. The system is self-timing — it locks at the same position every time, keeping the suppressor aligned consistently. ASR mounts are available in virtually every thread pitch for AR-15 and rifle hosts. For pistol suppressors, SilencerCo uses direct-thread mounts as standard with piston kits available for tilting-barrel pistols like the Beretta PX4. Verify your host’s barrel thread pitch before purchasing any suppressor mount.
