Nope.Does nothing to POI. Used one for a long time[Jack Pyke] but changed to the lace up versions,simply because of my silencer design, and it was not great at keeping baffles from loosening on the SONIC models of strippable silencers. great for protecting the hands tho in competitions from a flesh searingly hot silencer mind.:eek:

I used a couple of different ones on moderators and point of impact never changed
