suppressor blowback with pistol optic (RMR and .9mm)

Post by tantrum007 »

I would really appreciate anyone who has had any experience running an optic on your supressed pistol answering this.

I have a glock 17 with a GEMTECH GM-9. I would really like to put an optic (probably RMR) on top of it and I have heard mixed reviews on the severity of the blowback on the optic lense.

I will be running very high quality 147 or 158 grain ammo.

Thank you for your time.

I had a Burris Fastfire on a suppressed P226 for a while and never noticed enough smut on the lens to interfere with accuracy.

I suspect you'll get mixed reviews here as well, probably more to do with the anality of the user than the functionality of the combo.
