November 4, 2025Posted by derrek.sigler
A suppressor represents a significant investment in your shooting enjoyment, and the idea that one suppressor can be used for many firearms is appealing, making modular suppressors an ideal option for some.Silencer Central has one of the best selections of modular suppressors available anywhere. Looking for the best modular suppressors for 226 and beyond? We’ve got you covered.
What is a modular suppressor?
I’m glad you asked because it might seem a bit weird for those who aren’t quite sure. A modular suppressor is one that has an adjustable amount of baffles that can be added or subtracted thanks to a module that attaches to the end of the main tube.
With a modular suppressor, you can have the suppressor at full length for maximum sound reduction, or you can use the shorter version for added maneuverability. Some users will use the longer version for their main rifle and then shorten the suppressor for a rimfire or pistol. It gives you options and adds to the overall value of your suppressor to you when you can use one can for multiple firearms and have it be the optimal lengthand weight for your use.
The Best Modular Suppressors
We used our experience shooting these suppressors during testing, talked to industry experts, and used our best resource – our customers – to determine which modular suppressors made this list.
SilencerCo Omega 36M
Topping the list is the SilencerCo Omega 36M. It is a highly adaptable suppressor that can be configured for both long and short-barreled firearms. This makes it a great option for a wide range of calibers from .36 down to rimfire. This means you can use it on your .30 caliber rifles, like a .30.06, and even a 350 Legend, and still use it for your .22LR.
Offering multiple configurations for length, weight, and mounting options, the Omega 36M has a two-piece modular design that allows for the removal of the front section. This provides you with a shorter and lighter suppressor that still offers impressive sound performance.
With the front section removed, the Omega 36M short configuration measures 4.90 in. and weighs just 9.8 ounces. The long configuration is 6.85 in. and weighs 12.5 ounces. Made of stainless steel, titanium, and Cobalt 6, both long and short configurations of the Omega 36M are full-auto rated.
What we like:
Multiple caliber versatility
Being .36 caliber, it can handle bigger calibers like .338 Win Mag and more.
What our customers say:
"There are so many options out there these days it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Silencerco has been around for a while and it shows in the materials chosen, quality of build, and price point on the 36m. I got a 556 flash hider end cap for mine and I can shoot 556 without hearing protection. I love the asr flash hider mounts for their simplicity and locking collar that keeps it in place while rapid firing.
If you are looking for your first, second, or 10th suppressor you will not be disappointed with this one. Exceptional quality. On top of this, Silencer Central is a great company who made the whole process very very simple. I was easily able to do my own form 1 for a sbr with the trust they provided for free with my purchase of the 36m. Highly recommend both Silencer Co and Silencer Central." - Alexander R.
There's a reason why the BANISH 30-V2 is one of the best-selling suppressors on the market. The key is the versatility of this .30 caliber modular suppressor. It is rated to handle any cartridge from .17 HMR up to .300 WBY, and is limited full-auto rated. It's one of the most versatile suppressors on the market and an excellent option for anyone looking for a suppressor that can work across multiple firearms.
Built from 100% titanium, the BANISH 30-V2 is user-serviceable and modular, allowing users to run it in a long, 8.17-inch configuration, or shorten it to 6.4 inches when a lighter more compact solution is preferred. At full length, the suppressor has 11 baffles, and weighs 12.4 oz. The shorter configuration still offers eight baffles and weighs just 9.5 oz. In the long configuration, tested on a rifle chambered for .308, noise reduction was an outstanding 34.5 dB, well below the hearing safe threshold.
With the HUB mount, you can quickly use your 30-V2 on different firearms by using BANISH direct-thread HUB mounts. The BANISH 30-V2 offers you versatility with sound suppression, recoil reduction, and increased accuracy across a wide range of firearms, making it the perfect choice.

What our customers say:

Normally a modular suppressor gives you just two options. Not so with the Dead Air Odessa 9 suppressor for the 9mm and other similar calibers. Ten different configurable lengths with the included nine baffles means that modularity is the name of the game with the Dead Air Odessa 9. With caliber compatibility ranging from .22LR to 9mm and even 5.7x28mm, there’s very little you can’t do with this pistol suppressor.
You will barely notice the Odessa 9 on your barrel with sizes ranging from a tiny 2.75 in. to just 7.75 in. and 7.4 ounces in its full length. As an added bonus, the 1.1 in. diameter means that you won’t need suppressor height sights when used on most pistols. This is a big plus since most people don’t run suppressed all the time. The Odessa 9 ships with a 1/2×28 piston mount, but you can also use a variety of other common thread pistons and a fixed barrel spacer.
What we like:
Small diameter
Multiple length options
What our customers say:
"When I got the suppressor I put it on my Canik METE with a threaded barrel and in both the "short" and full length configuration it reduced the sound to levels that I didn't need hearing protection. In the long configuration I can even shoot it in my basement range." - Edward O.
One of the more popular pistol-caliber modular suppressors on the market is the Obsidian9 from Rugged Suppressors. It is an excellent choice for a 9mm suppressor, too, thanks to it's quiet performance and durable construction.
The flexible modularity of Rugged’s ADAPT Module gives users the ability to choose between the full configuration at 7.8 inches and 12.7 ounces, and the compact configuration at 4.8 inches and 8.7 ounces.
We have a lot of customers tell us they love the Obsidian9 silencer. Designed specifically for 9mm pistols, rifles, PCC, and more, this suppressor features a 1/2×28 non-slotted piston design that reduces blowback, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable day at the range. The Obsidian9 features keyed baffles machined from 17-4 stainless steel and is also belt-fed rated, should you want to go that route. It is that durable!
What we like:
Great price
Durability
What our customers say:
"Silencer Central made the process as easy as they claim. The Obsidian9 was recommended by people I trust, and they were absolutely right. I'll be using it primarily on an SBR for home defense, but also in a secondary roll on a 9mm carbine, a pistol, a . 300 BLK carbine, and a . 22 rifle. It has run perfectly on everything." - Steven G.
As modular suppressors go, the SilencerCo Scythe STM is considered a great option. This is especially true for those who need a durable, full-auto-rated suppressor for demanding applications. Its modular, stainless steel design allows for customization and is built to withstand high-volume fire. This is the stainless version of the Scythe Ti model and SilencerCo added it because people loved the Scythe, but wanted to be able to send more round downrange at one time.
Constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, making it more robust and suitable for heavy-duty use. This also helps make the Scythe STM full-auto rated with no barrel restrictions, making it ideal for use with a variety of firearms without worry.
Its modular design allows you to change the number of baffles to suit your needs, offering a trade-off between a shorter, more compact configuration and a longer one for maximum sound suppression. The Scythe STM can handle calibers from .223 Remington up to .300 RUM and is compatible with Bravo/HUB accessories, further increasing its versatility. The Anchor Brake significantly reduces recoil, helping you stay on target, too.
When you're looking to add a modular suppressor to your firearms, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when picking the one that is right for you. You should always keep your caliber in mind. With a modular suppressor, the key is versatility, so you might want to opt for one that can handle multiple caliber firearms that you own. This will allow you to adapt the suppressor to work with more than one of your firearms.
Keep in mind whether or not the suppressor is serviceable. When you can adapt the suppressor to work in multiple configurations, you will need to at the very least, keep it clean so it runs correctly and safely every time.
Also look at how it mounts to the firearm. There are so many mounting options on the market. You may need to get several different mounts to make the suppressor work with all of your firearms.
Finally, keep in mind how you plan to use the suppressor. If you don't need full auto ratings, and want lighter weight, check out the cans that fit that mold. If durability is key, there are modular suppressors that fit that bill, too.
