Cycling with a can

[my82cam]

I am having trouble with my glock 19 and 22 cycling with my octane 45, half of the time it doesn't return to battery.  I have to push the back of the slide with my thumb or push the trigger forward with my finger.  The guns are cleaned and lubed.  Any ideas?

heavier recoil spring.  the can has a booster right?



when reading the title I had this in mind

HAHAHAHA.   By booster, do you mean the spring on the piston?

Yes, just making sure it wasn't a direct thread mount.  never assume anything.  If you have the piston mount then you need a stronger recoil spring. Remember you have a lot of weight hanging on the barrel and all the gas and energy normally used to cycle the action is what you're trying to suppress.

Just like LumberJack...  But, Sorry man, Hickok45 beat you to it at 0:10 in.

I had a really strange image of some one trying to bike in lycra while trying to CC a suppressed pistol, and having it print. Then I read the first part and said "oh..."

Just an update on this, I went back to the factory disconnect and got rid of the lone wolf 2.5 or 3.5 lbs(whatever it was) and it not cycles fine.  Looks like the threaded barreled guns will have to run the factory triggers.

Why would the trigger affect cycling?

Why would the trigger affect cycling?

If trigger doesn't reset, it won't cycle. Pretty common with aftermarket triggers when pushing the boundaries of the platform. My 22 upper will only run 100% with factory triggers. About 98% with aftermarket. Edited May 1, 2016 by Jct1911
