So I've finally gotten my sparrow and some handgun hosts to the range to really sight in (previously backyard plinking, just going for minute of pumpkin).

On both hosts (Ruger 22/45 and ppq m2 .22) I'm knocking bullseyes out without the can at 12-15 yards, but with the can poi shifts 6" to the right.  Is this normal?  Seems pretty drastic at 15yds.  The adaptor on the ppq is a silencerco, so compatibility should be good.  No baffle strikes that I can see and no keyholing on the target.

Is this a normal poi shift, or is something fucky?  And help would be appreciated, thanks!

If you take the Sparrow apart and just thread on the monocore, does it look like it's seating properly? Is the o-ring engagement nice and even or is the o-ring bulged/torn/skewed? Is the shoulder of the adapter nice and clean and free of debris?

On my M&P 22c it shoots about an inch low but windage is perfect with the Sparrow.  I did notice that my baffles are in almost perfect vertical alignment to the barrel when tightened down.  I checked it without the tube so I could see if the threads were binding on the O ring.  6 inches does seem like a lost at 45 feet.

Yes to all and the o ring is in perfect shape.  This one is a definite headscratcher.  

Maybe I will try what bluesfan said and screw it on and check barrel alignment with the baffles?

I can't say that I've noticed any appreciable POI shift from my Sparrow using multiple hosts - both handgun and rifle.  Please let us know if you identify the culprit.

Will do.  I'm going to run it on a few rifles and see if I get similar results
