Just got a threaded barrel for my Browning hi-power.
As some of you already know, there is no shoulder on threaded Hi-power barrels, so the suppressor just threads on till the threads bottom out. this seems like it could cause alignment issues.
I have the Optimus suppressor which comes with a 9mm piston, but there is no shoulder inside the piston for the barrel to but into either.
When threading the suppressor on, it hits the slide before bottoming out.
Anyone experienced this issue and how have you addressed it?
These seem to be the options:
1: Get a new piston with an inner shoulder for the barrel to bottom out on.
2: Get a longer threaded hi-power barrel
3: Machine down the barrel side of the piston 1/16" (it protrudes)
4: Thread on a 1/2-28 jam nut onto the barrel before attaching the suppressor.
5: Find a 1/2-28 male to 1/2-28 female adaptor with a shoulder to extend the threads out.
6: ?
Ideas and experiences appreciated.
Thanks,
Johnny C
