I have a Sig Threaded Barrel on the way for a P229 and a P226.

Will one silencer fit both?? Both are 9mm And, both are USA Made


For some reason, I am looking at Sig Silencers when I do buy. Is this the best bang for the buck??

Will I be allowed to switch one silencer between guns.??

Basically, what I am doing is betting on the come that silencers will eventually be treated as any other gun part and that they will not need a background check or $$$.
I also think the same will happen to SBRs.

Thanks for your help.

40 cal is usually M14.5x1 left
9 is M13.5x1 left
Sig barrels typically need fitting due to feed ramp - minor fitting with Emory board

Most suppressors have different adaptors for different caliber and thread patterns.

I wouldn't hold your breath on the deregulation of suporessors...as much as I love to have that happen.

OP Edited to show caliber

You do not mention what caliber the firearms are chambered for

With a 9MM firearm, there are two extremely common thread patterns. The metric 13.5MMx1MM left hand thread which is common on European firearms and the 1/2"x28 which is common on American firearms





As long as both firearms are the same caliber and the same thread pitch there is no doubt that one suppressor will work on both.

A suppressor moves from firearm to firearm just like a magazine does, it is not married to a specific weapon.



Many of today's suppressors (not all) have interchangeable back ends so that for an additional fee you can use the same can on more than one style of firearm

My SWR Trident that is pictured above on my P226 and X5 Tactical TB shipped set up with an LID(needed for tilting barrel style firearms) for M13.5x1LH which is the standard for SIG factory produced barrels. I purchased a second LID set up for 1/2"x28 for my Smith and Wesson 9MMs.



I also bought a fixed 1/2"x28 back end to use on my 22LR pistols and rifles. Yes a 9MM can is very effective on a 22LR firearm. No it is not quite as quite as a 22 can would be and it is larger than a 22 can would be, but it saves a second purchase and a second transfer tax

Lastly, I bought a back end that allows the same can to be used on my UZI SMG. The Trident is rated for Machine Gun use.



I may get one more back end custom manufactured so that I can use the Trident on the 300 Black Out as well.

So even if the Hearing Protection Act of 2015 does not get passed in this current Congress, your $200 transfer Tax can be used across a wide variety of items over the coming years and decades. If you average that tax across 20 years of ownership, it is only $10 per year

Thanks for all of the input and answers.
I am learning a lot. Mostly what I do not know.

I've purchased SIG factory threaded barrels for my P228 and my P220. Both dropped right in without fitting, both pistols run great with my Silencerco Osprey threaded on.

Dad always told me the days wasn't wasted if I learned something.

Good info above.

I'll add this, I have an Octane 45HD. I have adapters (piston kits) to use it on .45, .40, 10mm, 9mm, and .22.
I have a "fixed barrel adapter" so I can use it on my .22 rifles and Ruger pistols.
It will also work with SUB-SONIC 300blk. It is NOT rated for supersonic rifle pressures.

I have no metric barrels, my GLOCKs are all sporting Lone Wolf barrels and the other stuff is threaded "standard" from the factory. If I got factory barrels for the GLOCKs and SIGs they would most likely be threaded with metric patterns, as mentioned above.

A good friend loads me 147gr 9mm ammo that is nearly movie quiet.
Also, don't let people tell you that 40SW won't suppress, 180gr 40SW is subsonic and suppresses quite well.

In Southeast Asia, I was not exposed to a lot of technology like silencers. I only have so much space left in my brain so I start learning about things when I decide to go that route.
I really do feel that silencers will be 100% legal with no stamps, etc. before the end of 2018.
Call me a dreamer.

In simple terms--a silencer is a muffler for your gun. A Silencer has internal baffles to slow down the noise signature when the bullet exits.
Best caliber to buy a Silencer for --22LR--really is silent.
Subsonic--heavier bullet, ex 9mm 147 grain
Supersonic--lighter bullet, ex 9 mm--115 grain
A 45 caliber suppressor can be used on 45, 40, 9 and 22. You have to look at materials-titanium is lighter but more expensive. Overall length of the suppressor. Overall width of the suppressor. A 45 suppressor is not going to allow sight usage on a 9 mm pistol.
Suppressor basics-intention is education.

Well, I have been waiting for 9 months and $600 extra for my three...are you saying if I would have waited I'd get them at point of sale for free? Count me in!
