Fixed suppressor on Glock? or piston on 22

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Fixed suppressor on Glock? or piston on 22

Post by zeeew »

Hello all

I have an Octane 9HD with a G23 and Wolf 9/40 barrel. I have read that using a fixed mount on a semiauto wont hurt the gun or suppressor, and have also read that using a piston on a fixed barrel can hurt things.

Can I actually use a fixed mount on an Octane 9HD and the Glock without hurting anything? I DO NOT want the gun to cycle, I want to keep it as quiet as possible. I could just download a bit til it didnt cycle, but I want to make sure the bullet makes it out the barrel.

Will a fixed mount even reasonably stop cycling of most safe loads? Or is it a maybe/maybe not thing?
Also, I dont have a fixed mount yet. Will it hurt anything to mount on a 22 rifle, since they hardly recoil?


Thanks

Eric

I am relatively new to the suppressor scene... but if I am not mistaken using a booster on a fixed barrel can mess up the threading due to the forces of the booster pulling and pushing on the threads, where a fixed mount will not do anything to the threads due to it not having the pulling force of the spring if that makes sense. The booster is only used so a auto pistol with a tip barrel can cycle, worst that can happen with a fixed mount on a auto pistol is that it will not cycle. ( more experienced users please correct me if I am misinformed)
