I don't care for silencers on pistols, just doesn't do anything for me... that said I do have one pistol silencer but I use it on a pistol caliber carbine. As such it needs no piston/spring since I don't need the extra recoil impulse for cycling a slide. My Octane just has a fixed (direct thread) mount instead and works great.

My Omega .300 has the option of fixed (direct thread) or a quick release mount. I went with the quick release since I have two rifles to use it on. There is a 3-lug quick release mount made for the Octane (it would replace the piston/spring), but the Octane is limited for rifle calibers.

The Silencerco Hybrid may be the best fit for what you describe, but I am not familiar enough with it to say what kind of mounts it has available.

Good luck
