I took this 22 pistol to the range today. It is a Ruger. I noticed that my groups were much wider with a suppressed pistol. So I tested the accuracy issue by doing an experiment. I shot eighteen rounds from a supported position, of which 9 were suppressed, and nine were unsuppressed. I used the same ammo, which was Remington 22.
Here is a picture of two targets.
Both are at 12 yards, which I shot from support to maximize accuracy.
Notice that the left target, which is the unsuppressed, is much more accurate. The right target is the same pistol, and same ammo, suppressed.
I don't think sights were an issue, as I could see the sights above the suppressor. See second pic below.
Any comments on the suppressor accuracy? What could I be doing wrong? Is it me or the suppressor that is contributing to the inaccuracy? Does anyone else experience this issue?
