I plan on buying a suppressor sometime this year and need some advice.

I am looking for advice on one that will work with a few calibers on a few platforms

First is 9mm being shot out of a Glock and a Colt style AR in 9mm. The rifle has 1/2x36 thread and the barrel is at 16" so it can't be shortened anymore to change the pitch. Velocity in the rifle will be anywhere from subsonic to 1500+fps.

Next is a bolt action 7.62 that has a max velocity of less than 1300 fps. It is a custom build using 7.62x25 as the parent cartridge but is loaded with 155-168 gr bullets. The rifle is already complete and testing shows all the powder is being burned before the bullets exits the 24" barrel but I am still getting some muzzle blast. The blast/ report seems to be equivalent to a 22lr. Accuracy seems good and hopefully when I get a load worked out it will be sub MOA. The threads haven't been cut yet so it can be whatever is needed.

The final caliber is 22 lr in both pistol and rifle. Nothing special just a few autos, they are 1/2x28 and will be shot using mostly subsonic ammo.

My biggest concern is lead build up with shooting the 22lr. I would prefer one that is easy to clean or at least some way to easily clean it.

Also, having to buy different attachment for each weapon is not an issue

Any advice is greatly appreciated as I am new to the suppressor world.

Given your requirements you may want to look at the YHM M2.  It has the adaptors you need for your various applications, it comes apart for cleaning and, while I don’t think any manufacturer would warranty doing it, being on the larger side of things the extra volume may help with your rifle load.  Personally, I wouldn’t shoot more then a few hundred rounds (tops) of .22 without cleaning it and I’d keep my rifle loads consistently subsonic.

Thanks, I looked into it and it is reasonably priced also. The 7.62 doesn't really have any more blast than a 22 but I think with a suppressor it will get extremely quiet.
