f150 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If it fails to go into battery, light recoil spring would make it worse. Try a strong recoil spring and/or a light striker spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a strong recoil spring and/or a light striker spring. Or, the FTF is caused by the lighter loads not being able to cycle the slide far enough preventing a full stroke to load the next round. Im running into this right now on gamer 130PF 147gr loads. OP, what round/load are you using? Any other mods on the gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Set up a phone/camera looking at the ejection port and record. Then watch in slow motion. That will show you what path to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick779 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 For factory ammo, im not sure then. Does it run fine with the same ammo not supressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1911 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Maybe a dumb question, but does your suppressor have a neilson device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick779 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 My mind still says lighter recoil spring. Perhaps the weight of the can increasing pressure/friction on the barrel/slide is making it cycle slow enough that the recoil spring is stopping it partial stroke.

nick779 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yeah, factory gen 5 34 is 17lb, so youre on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootacres Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just swap it out with an ISMI 13lb spring. Sending rounds into battery shouldn't be an issue neither should getting the gun to cycle completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask me how I know... Works fine with a 4.5# striker spring though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 13lb ISMI works best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
