GEMTECH 22 QDA POI Shift

Gilo · Feb 20, 2021

Does anyone have any experience with the GEMTECH 22 QDA? I have one and use it with my can on 2 different hosts. On the pistol, the POI shift is slight and consistent, however, on the rifle the POI shift so extreme that i cant even hit the target at 25ft and it's very inconsistent. As soon as i remove the QDA the POI becomes consistent and minimal.

Any thoughts?

Is there in perceivable wobble on the suppressor? Maybe try pushing a plastic cleaning rod through with suppressor mounted to see how much clearance you have.

POI shift seems normal but I’m not sure why it would be inconsistent unless your mounting system is loose.

Hopefully someone with direct experience can chime in. I have been looking to buy the QDA system myself but it’s been out of stock for months.

I have a feeling its the QDA. it might be loose. Unfortunately i cant get ahold of Gemtech.

I had the same problem, and sold mine.

Did you try with multiple suppressors? That’s disappointing to hear. Makes me which I went with the optimus micro instead of my dead air mask to have a good QD option.

I did not, because the whole point of this for me was to work with ONE suppressor. It was a SiCo Sparrow. In fact, at one point, it loosened up enough that I had the baffles get clipped. Loctite resolved that, but trusting loctite on a can over the long-term seems like insanity.

I also did not particularly love the attachment method (the fourth lug key!), or how they designed the tools for getting the mounts themselves on/off hosts (the worst wrench I've ever seen). Gemtech is also functionally dead as an entity. It's just not worth bothering with.

I agree that the IDEA of a QD 22lr can is awesome. I'd like one that was ASR, personally, even with the weight hit.

Thats exactly what i feared, that my QDA was lose and i was going to get a baffle strike. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone else know of a QDA for a 22LR can?
