Absolutely! There are suppressors designed specifically to work with a wide range of calibers so that you only need one silencer to cover all of the firearms in your gun safe. 

These all in one suppressors feature large bores so that they can accommodate a variety of pistol and rifle bullets.

This year's best multi cal suppressor, the highly-rated SilencerCo Omega 36M, is incredible for suppressing anything .36 caliber and smaller, from 9mm pistols to 338 Lapua Magnum to 308 Winchester, 300 Blackout, 6.5 Creedmoor, 5.56 and more.  Featuring 17-4 stainless steel construction, this full-auto-rated suppressor is able to withstand heavy use and high-powered magnum calibers.

It’s also modular and easily swapped from a full length of 6.85 inches down to a short length of 4.9 inches to match your desired balance of sound suppression, weight, and length. 

This perennial favorite has earned 4.8 out of 5 stars with stellar reviews, such as “excellent product! very well constructed and super versatile. with the right ammo, keeps the noise level wayyyy down. Hollywood quiet.”
