![]() ![]() The only problem was that it’s a huge suppressor to hang on a pistol, and it would never qualify as a compact suppressor for a rifle. The 46M is an evolution of SilencerCo’s Hybrid 46, a non-modular suppressor designed to work on everything from a 9mm pistol to a. 338 caliber, the Hybrid 46M is a frontrunner among suppressors currently available. 45-caliber pistol, or a rifle with a bore diameter larger than. ![]() Introduced on October 12, 2021, the Hybrid 46M is SilencerCo’s solution for anyone who has a big-bore firearm. It proved well-suited for pistols from 9mm to. SilencerCo’s 46M short configuration weighs 12.2 ounces and measures 5.78 inches in length without the Charlie piston mount. SilencerCo’s new 46M is a prime example of why SilencerCo remains on the cutting edge of suppressors today. They also listen to their customers and work hard to give them what they want. They’ve made hundreds of thousands of suppressors and invested a lot of their returns into advancing suppressor manufacturing. (These things can vary quite a bit.SilencerCo is a large suppressor manufacturer that has been at it since 2008. You do this to adjust point of impact, should you have a slight zero shift with a suppressor on your pistol. You can push the tube forward and rotate the tube slightly to get it to index on a different notch, if you wish. The piston has notches machined around its forward ring, and the tube indexes on a notch. Welcome to the world of Newtonian physics, and the timing of recoil. ![]() The odd thing about it is that despite adding 8.4 ounces to the weight of the pistol, it will feel like it is recoiling harder than it would without the suppressor. The timing of the jolt makes up for the weight of the suppressor, and the pistol cycles. That compresses the spring, and once it has soaked up all the energy it is going to, the spring expands, delivering that stored energy back into the system. As the pistol recoils to the rear, the suppressor doesn’t. The piston system inside the rear cap acts to let the suppressor “float” on the mount. The rear cap assembly of the Silent Legion suppressor unscrews for maintenance and cleaning. After a few shots, check to make sure it is still tight, and snug it again if need-be. Simply unscrew the thread protector, screw on the Silent Legion, and give it a quick wrist-snap at the end to tighten it. Installing the Silent Legion 9mm suppressor was a piece of cake. Since screwing a pistol-caliber suppressor onto a handgun is no big deal, so no-one makes one that I know of. If you put some sort of QD mount onto a pistol barrel, you couldn’t get it out of the slide for cleaning. The direct-thread part of the model designation is because there is no QD mount system possible for a pistol-mount suppressor. The Silent Legion 9mm suppressor is a slim, lightweight can that will look good on any pistol, not just the 509 Tactical, but that’s where we started. The just-over-eight ounces of the silent Legion suppressor is still enough to “stall” the cycling of some pistols, and so Silent Legion has built the spring-mounted piston system into the rear cap assembly. It does not preclude the use of a booster or piston mount. This makes any pistol with the Silent Legion suppressor on it less nose-heavy than others might be. The Silent Legion 9mm suppressor is made of aluminum to keep the weight down. The Guy In Charge (honest, that’s his title on his business card) Ed Schoppman has been making silencers for a number of years, before striking out on his own and making suppressors the way he wants them made. There are a lot of new suppressor makers out there, but some of them, while “new” as suppressor makers, are not new to making suppressors. This suppressor was featured and tested in Patrick Sweeney's review of the FN 509 Tactical 9mm pistol. ![]()
