I shot a lot of .22 through my Octane 9 before I got my .22 can and I wish I hadn’t. It got the aluminum piston housing all leaded up and I was never able to clean it all out. Luckily I destroyed that can in a torture test and SilencerCo sent me a new one, so I never had to figure out how to get that lead completely out. It looks like the piston housing assembly on the Revolution is removable (it isn’t on the Octane), so it should be easier to clean than mine was at least. Or if you’re bypassing the booster assembly and just using a dedicated direct-thread mount, that will skip the issue entirely. All this is my way of recommending you just get a dedicated .22 can. It’s going to be a lot lighter and more compact that what you’re using now, and it’s going to be easier to clean; even easier than a serviceable pistol can since the baffles on many top-end rimfire cans are specifically designed to be easy to take apart when leaded ip.

Thanks Theohazard for your input. Griffin Armarment offers a fixed mounts for my Rev 45 can, as well as a .22 cal end cap. I think it's worth buying as I don't want to compromise my piston assembly.
