Glock 19 suppressed problem

I am having a problem with my Glock 19. It has a match 9x19 threaded barrel. It runs 100%, but when I use my suppressor, it does not run.  it's like the slide is not getting pushed back far enough to let the round come up and chamber

Yep, on a pistol, a booster (more-properly, a Neilsen Device) is required to make it run.

 

The booster allows a little movement between the suppressor and the pistol's barrel at the absolute beginning of the recoil cycle. This little disconnect allows the slide to get a running start before the weight of the suppressor retards the action, allowing it to stroke fully.  It also has a spring in it that returns the piston to its original position in preparation for the next shot.
