What can would you guys suggest for an AR and pistol? Can one can even cover both effectively? I have a 5" and a 9" 30 cal tbac ultra in jail for precision rifles.

I would like something for a 5.56 and/or 6.5 grendle AR, a fnx 45 tactical, and a glock 20 (10mm).
 
We are releasing a .46 Cal silencer a week before SHOT that will pretty much make the Hybrid obsolete...

have a listen to episode 21 of the Dwell Time Podcast where we discuss one application of the new can and hint at some additional features and performance.

Capitol Armory usually runs a sale around 4th of July, a buy one get two or something and it's worth it to buy then. As far as 5.56 goes, the Sico Saker is a solid safe bet and I scored two of those for $1300 with mounts and ASR brakes.

I have an Omega 9k I swear by for 9mm, it's not the most quiet but it's not nine inches either. I also doubt it would be very useful on a 5.56 and I too believe in specific cans for specific jobs. The one multi use can I have is the one that gets used the least.

So I'd consider scoring something on sale for the 5.56 and something else for the .45. Also beware 10mm isn't a great caliber to suppress for two reasons, one is that it has a high pressure and two is that it also has high gas volume for a pistol round and that makes it less than ideal. I mean, folks do it but 9mm sub suppresses best followed by .45 with respect to the standard pistol calibers. I like 10's too but I don't bother suppressing those.

The 5" and 9" ultras were a good choice, I have those too and they're also great on .300BLK SBR's (very low gas volume, especially with subs).
 
Would my TBAC cans be able to do anything that I'm looking to do? Obviously the pistols I mentioned are greater than 30 cal, but how would it handle 5.56 and 6.5 Grendel from an ar?

TBAC rates the Ultras down to 11.5" for .223, 5.56, & 6.5 Grendel. Unless your firing schedule is regular mag dumps or full auto, I don't know why you would want another suppressor for your AR's. I have an Ultra 7 & run it on my 20" 6.5 Gr any time I shoot it. I think you should evaluate getting a pistol can to use on pistols. Of course, having said that I also have a SiCo Hybrid & Omega that get interchanged on several different rifles. I can't tell a ton of difference in use & groups print over top of one another in testing at 100 yards.
 
Because TBAC's Ultras are all high back pressure and on SBRs are actually pretty loud and gassy to the shooter, especially if you aren't using an adjustable gas block. That is why.
