[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Suppressor Host Question

Posted: 5/13/2013 11:20:20 AM EDT

Gents-

Figured I'd poll the hive here on this. I've done a bit of research on NFA talk and some suppressor forums, but am not sure I've gotten the answer I'm looking for.

Question is, when running a suppressed pistol, do you / should you run an increased power recoil spring? I've got a Beretta M9A1 with a brigadier slide on it that is the host for my Octane 9HD and I can definitely tell that it recoils a harder with the can than without. I track round counts and replace springs and locking blocks on my berettas every 5K rounds and wanted to see if I should upgrade the spring for when I am shooting it suppressed. Thoughts/input would be appreciated. Thanks,

Depends on the pistol. If you can definitely feel its recoiling too hard, as you put it, than try a heavier spring.

That's funny, I had to go lighter on my 92fs, and I thought that was the norm. Does the can have a LID or is it thread mount? I run a 10# spring on mine to get it to cycle with subs with a gemtec multimount thread on.

I have a LID on a Glock 17 with the stock recoil spring. Never had a reason to try anything different.
