Best 9mm Suppressor Host? (Page 2 of 2)

Keep everything clean and well lubed during the break-in phase. A heavier recoil spring will reduce slide velocity during barrel unlock and case ejection. But it will give it more force to chamber a fresh round and lock the gun back into battery. I would try that for a little while, and only when shooting suppressed, but ultimately it's a band-aid, though it may be necessary if the issue with that barrel doesn't correct itself. An OEM Glock barrel would probably fix it permanently. A gen 3 G19 could use a Gen 5 "Marksman" barrel (that's what I use in mine).

I may try swapping one in and see if it makes a difference. Maybe mag dump a couple hundred of 115gr or 124gr through it unsuppressed.

An OEM Glock barrel would probably fix it permanently. A gen 3 G19 could use a Gen 5 "Marksman" barrel (that's what I use in mine). Both pistols function 100% unsuppressed with the Faxon barrels. I actually use the G34 in matches, so it has well over a thousand rounds through the Faxon barrel. The G19 probably has around 300-400 through its Faxon barrel. Pretty much the main reason I even opted to get the aftermarket barrels was because they were threaded and I could mount my suppressor. Otherwise, I probably would have left the stock barrels in  I might try a heavier spring. The G34 should be fairly easy since it's Gen3, but I believe gen4 G19s need a specific spring setup since it's a dual spring design. Radian makes an adjustable system for the gen4 for about $80. I also might try shooting the Obsidian in the shorter configuration since it weighs less. |
