Holy shit that is crazy. I never knew that was supposed to happen?

This is why polymer frames Glocks and other such pistols are much more durable than alloy framed pistols. Alloy frames can experience stress fracture after several thousand rounds.

Yes, that surprised me too

Yes!!

I noticed that too almost looks like it’s coming apart!

@@SilencerCo hi What is your healthy way with piston or without piston?

Of course! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

That's a very accurate summary.

@@SilencerCo Its actually not, from a physics standpoint the pressure in the can is driving the barrel to the rear adding force to help the pistol cycle. It does not simply "decouple". Using terminology like "float" and decouple" denotes a passivity to what's going on. The pressure generated in the can and against the inside of the case actively push the can and barrel/slide away from each other aiding in cycling. That's why terminology such as "piston" and "booster" are used. Everyone assumes because the piston doesnt have a surface to act on that gas pressure isnt at play here. the reality is once screwed onto the barrel the breach face/case become the surface the gas pressure acts on. Boosters effectively turn a recoil impulse operated system into a gas operated one.

@@bikefreek and that is how you complicate a simple summary 😂

@@bikefreek Well then by that logic, you shouldn’t need the booster assembly at all. In fact, it should cycle better without the piston assembly then. If it’s the pressure in the can exerting force rearward against the casing and breech face, forcing the slide rearward, you’d have more pressure to assure cycling. But that’s not the case. It does in fact, de-couple the system. Kind of like a suspension strut on a car where the barrel/ piston would be the wheel and the car, the slide. The wheel is free to move independently from the car in one axis momentarily but also structurally supported in different axis. After the round leaves the muzzle, both the the slide and barrel move rearward together momentarily until they separate and the slide continues on its own while the barrel remains. Without a piston the force of the gasses rearward against the shell casing would have to move the weight of the barrel, suppressor and slide all rearward until it hit the locking block, then there would have to be enough momentum left in the slide to travel rearwards fully to properly cycle the next round. Some is also dissipated into the frame via the barrel hitting the locking block. On typical handgun cartridges, there’s just not enough initial force created to force all that mass rearward and have enough left over for the slide itself to continue fully rearward. I suppose if you had a hot enough round to create enough rearward force initially, it might work, but at the expense of lots of wear and tear on the other parts. It would be like driving a vehicle with no suspension and the wheel hubs directly mounted to the frame. It’s pretty much like a suspension for your barrel.

@@bradskis81 The pressure in the can cant push the breach to the rear without a booster... think of it this way, The case, barrel and booster "piston" are the piston and piston rod of a pneumatic cylinder. The can is outer tube. When the gasses pressurize the inside of the barrel and can the barrel is forced rearwards.... that force aides cycling. Why do you think terms like "piston" and booster" are used for them? It is NOT a passive system to simply allow the gun to cycle. It actively adds force to drive the slide and barrel back.

Happy help! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video.

We appreciate you stopping by and checking it out!

Where can I get one, ha ha. Probable out of my price range

Thanks for watching!

700HpVette, ya he just slips that in there like it’s no big deal. Omg that needs to be mine.

Non-NFA MAXIM .........must.......have

Product announcement video disguised as an educational video.

I don't understand how a suppressed, full auto pistol can be a non-nfa item? Or am I just missing the point of a joke?

@@mrmactknife "prototype" allows it in the same vein as the G18. It won't ever be sold in the U.S. but the semi auto version will. I'm sure it's a joke designed to invoke these questions sprinkled with jealousy....it worked.

Great topic. We will add this to the growing list!

@@SilencerCo 👍

TRY SUBSONIC AMMO DINGALING

Good to hear! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.

You would need to either use a direct thread adapter or replace the spring on the piston with a fixed barrel spacer.

I just bought a Taurus G3 tactical, it came with a lighter spring and it didn't help. I also reload my own bullets. I tried going up to max powder and heavier bullets (147gr) to get more recoil. That didn't work either. I'm now waiting for my piston to come in the mail to go on my Hybrid 46, so my pistol will work.

Love it.

It's when I really WANT 1 TO

Standard 1/2x28 threads normally seat on the barrel shoulder. The Glock 43 is smaller, and the barrel is so thin, that its not thick enough for a standard 1/2x28 thread shoulder. Therefore, the Glock 43 piston has a shorter thread depth and an internal shoulder, so when tightened down, it seats on the very tip of your muzzle instead.

Jeffry Stout The bootleg is fantastic. I have 4

Just to clear up some terminology. "Piston" and "Booster" actual refer to the same thing. I believe you are most likely referring to the piston housing where the piston/booster sits inside the suppressor. Griffin pistons work with SilencerCo suppressors but other manufacturers may or may not due to design and tolerances.
