"In reading about some of the suppressors, I'm hearing about how some have a negative impact on accuracy or change POI vs. unsuppressed. How big of a issue can this be?"

IMHO An accuracy decrease is fairly rare. The change in POI can be significant or not depending entirely on the barrel harmonics. My experience is that skinny barrels are more likely to have POI shifts(but not always). I have a 10-22 that has little change in POI regardless of open or muffled, HV or subsonic--that's a barrel anyone could love.
