Suppressors Cans on a Glock

[dmuldrew]

I"ve never shot a handgun with a can till today. I have a couple of questions. I bought a SWR Trident, hoping to use it on my MP5. I got the wrong mount, the LCD. So I thought I would give it a try on a G17 with a Lone Wolf threaded barrel.

It was my impression that the LCD, a Nielsen device, was intended to allow the weapon to cycle normally. The Glock is crazy quiet with the Trident, but it does not cycle using sub sonic ammo. I also have a YHM Cobra 2 which I bought intending to use it on the Glock, same story....and BTW the Trident is noticeably quieter. Thanks guys.

How does it function with regular ammo? Is the LCD a booster? I run a booster on my SAS can and it run great on my Glock

Re: Cans on a Glock

You need to run 100 rounds through that glock and barrel without the can on. Preferably supersonic fodder, without the can attached to break in the combo.

Then your problems will go away.

You can also always call SWR and order a three lug mount for it.

If you thought the glock was quiet the MP5 will scare you.

Already got the 3 lug mount ordered. Can't wait, fun stuff.

Good. Now go break in that threaded barrel and pistol together. You will find after a little break in the combo will run just fine suppressed with subsonic ammo.

Not sure about buying the extra mount from the manufacturer. I thought the ATF was notifying them that they can only sell one mount per can now. I bought my mount from a private individual, new and unused. I was wondering if some break in might be required. New pistol, new barrel. It's pretty sweet shooting it tho.

YHM is the only one affected by this. Weird.

YHM also was claiming dealer to dealer form 3 transfers were taking 3-5 months. This was only experienced by YHM. Weird.

What do you think YHM makes more money on and sells more of? Ar15 rails, doodads and accessories or silencers?

If you buy the silencer, you will eventually buy the mount whenever it becomes available. It's called a "Guaranteed Sale". So what would you be devoting machine time to?

SWR will sell as long as they have it in inventory. Otherwise you have to wait for the next production run. Don't get robbed buying SWR mounts from an individual for more than retail....

Paid exactly retail plus $5 shipping.

Re: Cans on a Glock

I run my Trident on a Glock without issue...3.4 grains of 700X on a 135 grn bullet running right around 1000fps. No failures whatever but I did run a couple of mags of supersonic through the pistol/new barrel...
Want to hear scary quiet.. try the trident on a Contender 9mm...about as hollywood as you can get with a 9mm can

Right after I posted this I ran outside and fired off a round...I asked the wife to hold the camera and got one of those "looks"..bit of a cluster but you get the idea...

Re: Cans on a Glock

I love my trident/glock, I also have a lw barrel and it needed to be polished a bit. Once done i found it likes 124 gr pmc the best and its subsonic

Ok, I'll play.

Just picked up my Trident 9 on Saturday, and threaded a barrel last night.

Here it is on my Glock 17. Runs just fine with 158gr subsonics, and is pretty quiet.

Re: Cans on a Glock

Where do you get 158 grain 9mm bullets? I'd love to try them.

Re: Cans on a Glock

Bullets or cartidges.

BUllets: Hornady and most others.

Cartridges American Eagle, Ficchi, Prvi Partizan (I got the 158 instead).

Midway was some AE 147 yesterday.

Re: Cans on a Glock

I have the Prvi Partizan 158gr. Just put them through my 9mm AR yesterday, too. Now that's damn near MFQ.

I bought a 357 mag mould and cast my own. You can shoot them through a Glock if you drop the bullets out of the mould and into a bucket of water. I use wheel weight lead, it measures around 27 hBN after water quench.

The other thing you can do is get a .356" sizing die from lee and buy 357mag bullets, lube them up and shove them through the sizer if you want jacketed stuff for the G17. I've done that as well, but as always, jacketed stuff performs no differently on non-organic targets, so I shoot a lot more lead because it's cheaper.

Lead rounds through a sealed suppressor is a no-no.

Eventually the can will fill up with vaporized lead and need to be rebuilt at best; replaced at worst.

I didn't realize it was welded shut. Mine all disassemble for that reason, I forgot some MFG's seal them up.

Disregard my lead comment, you can still size down the 158 jacketed bullets though.
