Looking to get my first can but overwhelmed by the amount of info out there. I have not decided on which caliber yet, but looking at either 9mm, 22 or 223. Is there a suppressor that would accommodate all three or 2 out of the three? Besides for the ability to clean at home what else should I be looking out for? I would like to do this for under 500, if possible, plus the cost of the stamp. It would be mainly used for plinking outdoors.

Liberty Mystic is user serviceable and will work on all three. Caw308, a member here is currently running a group buy on them.
Or you could just get a good 22 suppresor since your budget is limited. I recommend dawsonville gun and pawn or quiet riot firearms(a member here with great prices). The octane 9 is in the 500's on silencershop.com and is user serviceable, good for 22 and 9mm.

if liberty says the mystic is good to go for full tilt .223 then thats the way to go. buy a dedicated 22 lr can. rimfire is too dirty.

its .223 rated as long as you are LONGER than 16" barrels. no SBR. go with a mystic on the CAW group buy.

I can't remember the price, but the liberty constitution is an all stainless 223 can that is user serviceable, so its good for 223, 5.7, 22wmr, and 22lr.
realistically if its user serviceable, then rimfire is fine. most .223 and .308 cans are sealed so cleaning is a bit tough. just make sure you avoid aluminum. a 24hr vinegar soak will loosen even tough carbon BUT if you shoot lead it will release lead acetate into the vinegar which is bad juju. wear gloves.
Bead blast / ultrasonic / scrape. Usually a combo of all 3. People "over-service" their cans IMO. A little buildup doesn't hurt.
well if the material is stainless or titanium you can put it into a mix known as the "dip" 50/50 vinegar/hydrogen peroxide mix.
If it is aluminium it can be tumbled , ultra sonic cleaning, or even getting out the hops and a brush.
The Octane is an aluminum tube with stainless baffles.

I'm waiting on my first can, I've got one .22 can in the family already.
If you want really quiet, you want to be shooting subsonic. If you're shooting supersonic it will still have a loud crack.
I went with a Mystic for the following reasons
1. User serviceable
2. No threads on the tube to strip out.
3. SS monocore design (tough as ****)
4. Rated for several calibers. I've got a few 9mm and .22 hosts. I'll eventually pick up a .22 can, but till then, I'm covered.
