I've got a 11 or 12" CZ455 (it's 5mm over legal length) it's mint with a DPT muzzle forward pretty much permanently in place. The thing I noted was pre chop CCi Subsonic HPs did 1020fps and afterwards they were going 1100fps often enough they broke the sound barrier. So getting shorter can definitely add speed. I now run the CCI suppressor 45 HPs and they are subsonic and shoot great. I often use it on magpies in the paddock out to about 150yards with great success. I don't think I'd go longer in anything that wasn't wood blued.
