[QUOTE="hereinaz, post: 3089638, member: 110606"] Tape the end of your suppressor. Keep some spare tape on your rifle barrel or in your pack. Check out our scoped action armor. [URL="http://www.lswild.com"]www.lswild.com[/URL] Check your POI with and without can if you want. Some cans move POI significantly, others don’t. If it is off by 1” and you are beating brush shooting inside 150 yards it won’t matter. IMO, always leave it on. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Hearing first, for you and others. Second, less disruption to the game. If you do choose to see if you can safely pull it on and off, you should confirm whether there is a POI shift. My suppressor and rifles don’t shift when I take it on and off. Learn how to hand spin it and get it tight enough. Even with that, once hunting season hits, I don’t take my suppressor off the rifle unless I have to. Like others I have one rifle with a 26” barrel and 7” suppressor. It’s just something to deal with, and you can learn how. I also have gone shorter barrels with faster cartridges so I can also run rifles with shorter barrels. Also, build into your shooting a check that your suppressor is on tight. I like to leave a little blue loctite residue on the rifle threads. If you don’t, it will come loose one day and you will wonder what happened and if it goes really bad you will launch your suppressor or get a baffle strike.
