Multi-Caliber Suppressor Guide: The BANISH 45, Reviewed
On Friday, July 10, 2026, the 85th Day of Silence in Silencer Central’s 100 Days of Silence giveaway includes the BANISH 45 as the suppressor in a complete suppressed 9mm package. While many suppressors are dedicated to a single caliber, the BANISH 45 takes a different approach, offering true multi-caliber versatility in a lightweight, user-serviceable titanium package.
Here’s a closer look at what makes the BANISH 45 stand out.
What Makes the BANISH 45 Different
Most pistol suppressors are designed for one specific caliber. The BANISH 45 was built from the ground up as a true multi-caliber suppressor. It can safely and effectively suppress everything from .22 rimfire all the way up to .45 ACP. This flexibility makes it especially appealing for shooters who own multiple handguns or want one suppressor that can serve several roles.
Its modular design is another major advantage. The BANISH 45 can be configured in either a short (6.7″) or full-length (8.6″) setup, allowing users to choose between maximum compactness or maximum sound reduction depending on their needs.

Performance and Real-World Use
The BANISH 45 excels in three key areas that matter most for pistol suppressors: weight, sound suppression, and versatility.
At just 9.6 ounces in its short configuration, it is one of the lighter options in the .45 class. This helps maintain the balance and shootability of the host firearm which is an important factor on pistols like the CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR included in today’s giveaway.
Sound performance is strong for a multi-caliber can, with up to 36 dB of reduction. While dedicated single-caliber suppressors can sometimes be quieter, the BANISH 45 delivers excellent real-world suppression across a wide range of calibers without requiring multiple tax stamps.
The ability to quickly change length and swap pistons also makes it practical for shooters who want to move the suppressor between different handguns.
Why Multi-Caliber Suppressors Like the BANISH 45 Matter
Buying a suppressor is a long-term investment. Many shooters eventually want to suppress more than one firearm. A multi-caliber suppressor like the BANISH 45 reduces the need to purchase multiple dedicated cans and pay multiple $200 tax stamps.
For someone who owns a 9mm, a .45 ACP, and perhaps a .22 LR pistol, one BANISH 45 can effectively cover all three platforms. This makes it a smart, cost-effective choice for many gun owners.
Why the BANISH 45 Is a Strong Prize for the 85th Day of Silence
In today’s giveaway, the BANISH 45 is paired with the CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR a suppressor-ready 9mm pistol. This combination gives the winner a complete, ready-to-shoot suppressed 9mm setup right out of the box.
Beyond the 9mm host, the BANISH 45’s multi-caliber capability means the winner can later use it on other handguns they already own or may purchase in the future. Combined with the included subsonic ammunition, training target, and maintenance tracking subscription, this prize offers both immediate usability and long-term value.
Final Thoughts
The BANISH 45 is a well-rounded choice for shooters who value versatility without sacrificing too much performance or adding excessive weight. Its modular design, solid sound reduction, and true multi-caliber capability make it one of the more practical pistol suppressors currently available.
Whether you’re new to suppressed shooting or looking to expand your options with a single can, the BANISH 45 is worth serious consideration especially when it’s part of a complete package like the one being given away today.

Frequently asked questions
What is the quietest multi-caliber suppressor?
Perceived quiet depends on caliber and host, but a full-size titanium pistol suppressor run in its longer configuration, like the BANISH 45 with 12 baffles, is among the quietest in its class on 9mm and .45.
Is a multi-caliber suppressor worth it over a dedicated one?
For owners who shoot several pistol calibers, yes — one purchase and one transfer cover the whole safe. A dedicated suppressor makes sense only if you shoot a single caliber and want it optimized.
Can you shoot rimfire through the BANISH 45?
Yes. The BANISH 45 covers .45 ACP down to .22 rimfire. Because rimfire is dirty, its user-serviceable design makes cleaning practical.
What calibers does the BANISH 45 cover?
Everything from .45 ACP down to .22 rimfire, including 10mm, .40, 9mm, and .380. You match the host with the correct piston.
Can one multi-caliber suppressor be used on multiple guns?
Yes. That is the point. A piston-mounted multi-caliber suppressor like the BANISH 45 moves between pistols and pistol-caliber carbines of different calibers on a single registered transfer.
Is a multi-caliber suppressor worth it?
For owners who shoot several pistol calibers, yes — one purchase and one Form 4 cover the whole safe. A dedicated suppressor makes more sense only if you shoot a single caliber and want it optimized for that one cartridge.
How much does the BANISH 45 weigh?
9.6 ounces in the 6.7-inch short configuration and 11 ounces in the 8.6-inch long configuration. It is titanium.
Is there a $200 tax stamp on the BANISH 45?
No. The $200 federal NFA tax stamp was eliminated on January 1, 2026. The suppressor still transfers through an FFL on an approved Form 4.
Buy one suppressor, thread it onto the whole safe. The BANISH 45 is the multi-caliber suppressor that treats “which gun” as a question you answer with a piston, not another transfer.
