Looking to suppress my .45-70 lever gun, but may build an AR-9mm and/or an AR-350 Legend in the future which I would also like to suppress.  

I was looking at the SilencerCo Hybrid 46, SilencerCo Hybrid 46M and BANISH HNT 46 TI specifically, but would consider other brands/models.  

The biggest issue I see with the Hybrid 46M is it requires a QD mount and it's expensive (especially after buying the QD mount adapters needed to mount it on a barrel).  The BANISH HNT 46 TI is also expensive, but is direct-thread mount so no costly adapters are needed.  I'm on the fence as to whether or not a QD mount suppressor would be useful for what I intend on doing with it.

Are any of these three good options, or would you recommend something different?

I got my Griffin Sportsman UL in .46 about a month ago.  HUB compatible for direct thread or QD mount if your choice.

Primary host is my Ruger trapper in 45-70.  Shot it on a couple of 30 caps and a 6.5…checks the boxes for me.

I'm very happy with my Hybrid 46, I use it with a YHM SRX mount to swap it around between 458 SOCOM, three 450 Bushmasters, and a couple other guns as desired.
I don't see no Americans. I see trespassers.

Ramblin Man would do well for those applications and is super lightweight.

My Hybrid 46 DTM and YHM R45 sound great shooting subs through my Henry X 45-70.   I need to try my Ramblin Man and see how it compares.

I went with the Bushwhacker 46, it also comes apart for cleaning.

I went hybrid 46 and it really does sound great on the big bore lever guns I bought it for to shoot subs. Downside is that it’s a bit heavy hanging off the end. I’m not worried about it being sealed I don’t shoot a ton of rounds out of those guns and if it does ever get real build up issues silencerco should be able to clean it out.

I really like the Hybrid 46 DT but you can also put a direct thread on the 46M. Can’t go wrong with either one and price of the 46DT is what sole me.

I have the hybrid 46,  most of the time it stays on a 9mm with 3lug mount. It’s a nice large volume can very little blow back on a 556 or 308.  Don’t have anything larger to put it on.

Was looking at 45-70 options the other day, only started a basic list:

Ramblin Man 46, 7.72", 8.8oz, TI
TBAC Fly 45, 8.85", 10.47oz, TI/SS
Anechox 45L, 8.1", 11oz, TI/SS
Hybrid 46M, 7.72", 14.9oz, TI/In/SS
Bushwacker 46 Gen2, 7.75", 15.8oz, SS
Dead Air Primal, 7.9", 16.4oz, SS
Bowers VERS 50, 11.25", 20oz, TI/AL
Bowers VERS 458, 11.25", 23oz, SS/AL

The weight on the Ramblin Man is nice.

I have a Sportsman Ultralight HD .36 on my 33 Nosler, and it really sounds awesome.  I'd absolutely get a 46, but I've had a Hybrid 46 for years, and its been a great catch all can.  The Bushwacker would be on my short list too.

I have two Fly 45s. They are great cans.

You can shorten them up as well.

My brother's never been happy w/ his suppressed .458 SOCOM.  You've got a big bore & a lot of gas.

Well yes, but you also have a suppressed 300+ grain piece of lead and copper.

I run mine on a bolt/lever.  I can understand that with an AR.

I have the griffin bushwhacker 46 it’s awesome. Can clean it if needed. User serviceable! Can use on 22 up to 45-70, 300 rum! Currently have it on 11.5 300 BO. It is low back pressure in that configuration. I like it! Just need to get some more rifles threaded!
