I haven’t ever seen this issue with my Thunderbeast cans
I haven't seen it with my SilencerCo, Dead Air, or Rugged suppressors either.

Yeah, sounds like a crapshoot. Going to test mine a little more tonight / this weekend, but likely purchasing another suppressor with more consistency. Looks like you've got an AB Raptor, how're you liking that one? No issues with first round impacts, or accuracy in general?This is the first I caught wind of this issue, I got a DD wolf hunter in jail right now so its a concerning thing to hear.
Like it. I haven’t noticed anything abnormal to date but don’t have a super high round count on it yet and am shuffling it between guns currently. The DD wolf hunter purchase was intended to reduce said shuffling.Yeah, sounds like a crapshoot.

Just got approved for a DD STi. Waiting for it to ship from Capitol Armory. This isn't making me feel great about my choice...
Yeah, I'm not sure if mine is a recent development or just something I didn't notice earlier. I was shooting it a lot on a 223 but trying out different ammo, swapping scopes, etc, so the POI was usually shifting at the start of a range session anyway. It was grouping well enough with some ammo once warmed up that I don't know how well I paid attention to first round impacts.I put a lot of rounds thru the Lti without any odd impacts. My high 1st shot impacts are a recent anomaly that I have yet to pinpoint.
That's super interesting. Do you think it could have something to do with carbon build up throwing something off? Strange for it to become an issue now and not from the beginning.I put a lot of rounds thru the Lti without any odd impacts. My high 1st shot impacts are a recent anomaly that I have yet to pinpoint.
Is there any correlation with issues and age of the cans? Like older vs new production? Or round counts?2x makes every rifle tried shoot terrible. 1x makes every rifle but one shoot badly. We have not worked through it all yet.
I have had a single can, not like a single barrel or muzzle device once or twice. I have never seen multiple cans make multiple rifles shoot poorly.

Let us know how it goes when you do, I'm really curious if this is a design issue, manufacturing/tolerance issue, some weird one-off, or anything else.My POS banish 30 docent even do that.
Neither does my ultra 7 or my scythe. I have an LTI but haven't used it yet.
Good to know. Looking at an AB raptor, the dead air nomads, or a hyperion K if I can find one locally - sounds like I should expect any of those to work as intended? Consistent POI for a bolt-action hunting rifle? Open to suggestions on anything else reliable, relatively light-weight, with good sound reduction.They are all new cans.
All-
This behavior is NOT normal or expected with suppressors. The issue I/we are seeing with these cans are an anomaly- do not presume or think it is normal.
Hard to beat the scythe right now. I Luke my back ultra 7 too.Good to know.

How long have you had yours?The STi makes every gun I put it on more accurate, from tikka barrels to proof and bartlein and 223 to 7prc.
Purchased the STi last spring, S this summer.How long have you had yours?
I'm kinda wondering if this is a production issue. Cranking up production since they've gotten popular and QC has dropped because of that? Also strange that haven't heard of these issues from DD until recently. I was excited for mine. Now feels a little like Russian roulette. At least my Hyperion K is solid.
Are you talking with DD about your issues at all? Anything to share if so?This behavior is NOT normal or expected with suppressors. The issue I/we are seeing with these cans are an anomaly- do not presume or think it is normal.
