Original HushPuppy

The Original Hush Puppy used rubber wipes the HPs would cut them up and expand the HP.

Not sure why any of thier wipeless designs would not work with HPs.

I use JHPs in my centerfire pistols silencers. I haven't had any problems at all, don't know why H&K would recommended against it.

Could always use Powerball if you can't use hp's.

Bad experiences with shooting under water perhaps?

How exactly is the warning worded? It may just be that (because JHPs are normally lighter than FMJs) they found that the suppressor wasn't as effective when used with JHPs.

Sorry fellas I just realized that I typed manual I meant website.

I came across it the other day when I was surfing around. Said simply: "JHP's are not recommended for HK suppressors." And for the life of me I can't seem to figure out why?
