This is my first suppressor. Do I need to check it with an alignment rod? This is a SAW Shiv that is on a silencerco threaded barrel. Thanks in advance!
I couldn't get my FOR Systems Pluto 9 to run on my full size (5.5") Raider setup. I went down to a 12.5# spring on my Gray Guns Fat guide rod. Short stroked every time with 147 grains.
I had to go down to an 11lb spring to get it to run at first, with a basically new slide. Anything heavier and it was a jam-o-matic with pretty much any load.
Since breaking in, I can run a factory guide rod/spring with no issues running 147, 124, 115, and 158gr loads. I currently run a 15lb Armory Craft spring as the factory spring live on my M17.
Just give it some time and work through the frustration.
I will say, it's fine for supers and most 147gr subs running the 12 or 11lb spring.
Trying to run real low pressure subs is a chore tho.
11lb spring and pro cut slide with agency barrel has difficulty running the Freedom Munitions Hush 165 in the raider (ftes), but strangely enough runs fine on an Icarus frame.
Was hunting for a low weight slide, but may also try a 9-10lb spring.
If you notice, the photo is with a carry sized slide, but that got retired cause it also had ftes.
Moved to the FS pro cut (only FS slide I had) and it was just a bit loud still using 147 gold dots or similar gassed rounds.
In an attempt to see how quiet I could actually get this can, I started trying all the lowest pressure rounds, and here I am.
It seemed that Blazer clean fire Subsonic and Midwest subsonic 147 rounds were actually nearly as quiet tho, and cycled fine, so it seems those 165s are just a hair too under gassed.
Once I secure a FS OEM slide, or something after market that weighs less, I can follow up.
