Thread: Using large suppressor for small calibre

I'm aware that a suppressor could effect my zero, I'm just trying to figure out if I should use my current suppressor or use another one made for smaller diameter bullets.

It will have little effect on accuracy but if it is for a larger calibre it just won't be so efficient. Given that a little can for a 17 are not that expensive I would recommend getting one for gun - The little Sonic cans work well on them and are only about $130 retail....Cheers

PS I am not looking to sell you one (though I can) but means mail order form etc. so better getting local to you.
