Exactly. And some pistol cans (like the Osprey) can't be taken apart, so it's virtually impossible to get that lead out. And some other cans (like the Ti-Rant) have baffle designs that would allow lead to get in between the baffles and the tube, which would essentially lead-weld the baffles inside the tube and make them a pain to get out. This is why people usually say don't shoot .22 through a pistol silencer.
But the Octane's CTA baffles (just like the Spectre's) keep almost all of the lead fouling inside the baffles and away from the tube. And, unlike the Ti-Rant, the CTA baffles are stainless, making it much easier to clean the lead off.
