    Had a chance to hit the range for an hour this morning. Got some trigger time with my old Winchester 74 and the Gemtech OBII. I'm getting groups right around 1" @ 50 yards. Not too bad for me. i was interested in seeing what kind of POI/Accuracy changes I had with and without the can. At 50 yards my groups were about 3/4" higher without the can. Group sizes were close enough to call it a wash, especially with my shooting. I'm glad to see that i can have the rifle sighted in for squirrel hunting and only have a minor change witht he can on it. My suppressed shooting is just for fun anyways, so it's not a big deal. Wondering what you guys had noticed with various supressors in other calibers and on other guns.

    I have a can for my p22/mosquito/1022. I don't have my barrel back for the 10/22, but with the p22 the POI is changed quite a bit with the can. As I recall, it is an inch or more low and to the right. Haven't put it on the sig yet.

    On my USP Tactical with a KAC supressor I could dial it in so they were the same. On the other hand, my Gemtech M4D had about a 2" up and left difference that I learned to deal with. I found if I just left the can on the rifle all the time it was a moot point anyway:D

    There is a POI change with my Outback on the 22/45, but it's not outrageous (at 15 yards on 6" plates, it's not really noticeable at all). I zeroed the rear sight with the can on, and just apply Kentucky windage when shooting without. I don't generally shoot for groups or take precision shots with it anyway.

    Putting my MultiMount on my G17 seems to cause about a 3/4" shift to the right at 10 yards, but groups are tighter than unsuppressed. Will do more experimentation on Sunday and will report back.
