I'm fairly new to the suppressor game, so excuse the ignorant question.

Just got an Octane 45 HD approved and in my possession, and it's currently configured with a piston to be used on my VP9. However, I want to shoot it on my .22lr ar15, but I don't have a spacer to de-activate the booster. Do I need to wait until I have a spacer to shoot it on my ar15 (.22 LR), or can I shoot it as is without worrying about damaging the suppressor?

Thanks
 
Probably not enough recoil energy with the .22 to get the can to move against the spring and, once you get some lead built up inside, the piston's gonna lock up tight anyways (which is bad).

I definitely do plan on getting a spacer, was just curious if I was able to take a few shots in the meantime without any issues, not any sort of volume shooting.

Took a few shots today, that's going to be it until I get a spacer.
