I'm looking into a suppressor for all of my rifles. My 17hmr is a noisy one. What experiences have you had with suppressors and how have they effected your accuracy?
Best suppressor for .17

I've been using a form1 223 sized can on my 17tcm imp. It makes quite a difference. One barrel I have doesnt like a can. All the rest are the same or better for accuracy

I have a silencerco, sparrow that works awesome on 17's up to my 17 k hornet. Doesn't effect the accuracy on any of mine. 17hmr, 17wsm, 5.7x28, and 22 k hornet.

Big difference between the super sonic crack alone vs the crack plus muzzle blast

But with a mod you don't need ear protection. It's loads more fun shooting prairie dogs without that big blast and ear protection.
Yes, I have several rim fire suppressors, 17 HMR is still the loudest of all my rim fires
And, depending what and where you’re hunting the moderator makes it very difficult for targets to identify where the shot has come from.
We’ve shot at deer in a group and they actually sometimes run towards your position at the shot because they don’t know where it’s come from.

I absolutely love my Griffin Checkmate HD, it’s mainly on my CZ 455 17hmr and my 5.7x28 pistol.
I pulled the trigger 
on a ThunderBeast 22 Take Down years ago and I haven't looked back since. I use it on my 17HMR, 17 Hornet and of course on my various 22s. I've not experienced any shift in POI when removing and replacing the can on a number of rifles. It is easily cleaned (50/50 sol'n of H2O2 and white vinegar) and it's good to go. Their customer service is also top notch!
