SilencerCo has announced the introduction of its new Hybrid 46M: the world's first modular large-bore suppressor.

SilencerCo Hybrid 46M Suppressor


Effectively reducing the sound signature of everything from 9mm to 10mm and 5.56mm NATO to .458 SOCOM, the Hybrid 46M takes it to the next level for those who want the versatility of the company’s Hybrid 46 with added modularity. It is compatible with virtually every centerfire firearm platform due to its wide range of available attachment accessories.

“The Hybrid 46M is the perfect tool for shooters hoping to suppress a variety of calibers on both pistols and rifles with only one suppressor,” said SilencerCo senior product development specialist Dewie Vieira. “It’s the first modular big bore suppressor ever; it’s the answer for those who want to suppress every small and large-bore caliber.”

SilencerCo Hybrid 46M Long and Short Configurations Side by Side

The real beauty of the Hybrid 46M is that it allows the user to remove the front module, providing a shorter and lighter option that is especially useful on handguns. While the company’s Omega 36M is still the best modular option for .30-caliber pistols, the Hybrid 46M gives shooters the ability to suppress big-bore pistol calibers like .45 Auto and 10mm.

With an MSRP of $1,117, the Hybrid 46M ships with a multi-tool, a spanner tool, an ASR mount, a .46 caliber front cap and a .30-caliber front cap.

Technical Specifications
• Includes Charlie ASR mount, Charlie .30-caliber front cap, and Charlie .46-caliber front cap
• Compatible with the Charlie ASR mount, all Charlie direct thread mounts, Charlie piston mount, all Charlie front caps, all ASR muzzle devices, pistons and tri-lug 
• Short configuration: weighs 12.2 ounces and measures 5.78 inches
• Long configuration: weighs 14.9 ounces and measures 7.72 inches
• Rated for all centerfire pistol and rifle calibers including .45 Auto, 10mm, .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, .45-70 Government, .338 Lapua Magnum and up to .460 Weatherby Magnum
Constructed of titanium, inconel and 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
