So I have a rugged obsidian in NFA jail now, and I’ve got the next 6-8 months to figure out a good host for it. Im looking for a little guidance on some firearms you have used that paired well with a suppressor. How did the suppressor affect the reliability, handling, and accuracy of the pistol? Were there any modifications you had to make to improve on these points (heaver springs, etc.)? What should I expect for POI shift, if any?
A few that I had in mind are:
Glock: 19,17,21, etc. Seems like the boring and obvious choice. Easy to find and inexpensive. Extensive aftermarket to make mods as needed. One con may be that since it’s a polymer pistol it may not “balance” as well with the can attached, don’t know.
Sig 226 or 229- Heavier, but my thought is this may help from a shootability standpoint.
Beretta M9A3 – I wouldn’t mind having one of these simply for the ‘cool’ factor of it. My understanding is that with a non-tilting barrel design mitigates some of the issues that can be associated with the extra weight on the end of the barrel. Might be inconsequential, dont know.
HK: USP9 or 45, HK45, P30L- I’ve never owned an HK, but from what I’ve been seeing the aftermarket for these seems limited and expensive, similar to the sigs.
If you have suppressed any of these pistols (or others), I’m eager to hear your experience.
Thanks,
