G19 with suppressor

[Steelart99]

Back in the day, I'd obtained several multi-colored slides from Armorally. At the time, matching frames were only occasionally available. So, I had pulled several frames from my "stock" in either black or FDE and sent them out to be painted in the matching color pallet/design. This one is Desert Canopy.

This is one of the G19 combinations that I stuck a threaded barrel on and tried a suppressor. Not surprisingly, I'm having ejection issues. Is this an issue that "might" be helped with a lower spring rate recoil spring? If so, I'm open to suggested rates and sources for buying the part.

Yeah, you'll definitely need a lower weight spring.

For my build with a ported barrel, I had to drop the spring weight quite a bit before it would cycle reliably.

If I recall, the normal recoil spring weight is 17 lbs. I bought a bunch of springs (uncaptured recoil spring assembly) from Wolff Gunsprings in various weights. And then I had to experiment to figure out which would work.

Are you running a Nielson device? If so, yes, you will need a lighter recoil spring.

This suppressor is a Banish 45. The BANISH 45 is a modular silencer specifically designed for handguns and pistol caliber carbines in calibers ranging from .45 ACP down to rimfire. It appears to include something akin to a Neilson device.

After reading the above posts I dug out my Octane 9 and ran it on a SIG P-229 and
a Polymer 80 with a stock Glock 22 slide on it. I shot Winchester white box 124
grain and they both ran great with it. Both guns have 40-9 conversion barrels on them,

Having said that, Both pistols were "wet" with Lubriplate 630-AA and mineral
oil. Also the Polymer-80 had been polished. They both had stock springs.

I think getting a lighter spring might be the thing to do. I also think you should polish
the rails, oil the snot out of your gun then try that.You might get by with just the polish job.
