    The Cons of Suppressors .........?

    Thinking of suppressing my .308 - mainly so my son will be more comfortable shooting it.

    But what I would like to know (as the pros of suppressing are fairly well known) is what some of the "possible" cons may be? Accuracy changes?
    Velocity changes? Up-keep/Maintenance issues? Muzzle forward vs over barrel?

    Are there any of you who have regrets doing this, and if so why?

    I'm not looking for a debate on whether or not one should suppress. Just what some of the pitfalls might be, if any.

    Thanks
    “For us hunting wasn’t a sport. It was a way to be intimate with nature, that intimacy providing us with wild unprocessed food free from pesticides and hormones and with the bonus of having been produced without the addition of great quantities of fossil fuel. . . . . . . . We lived close to the animals we ate. We knew their habits and that knowledge deepened our thanks to them and the land that made them.”
