Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key modifications made to this Glock 19 for suppressor testing?

The Glock 19 features a Blacklist Industries threaded barrel, a metal guide rod with interchangeable springs (lightweight for subsonic, medium for suppressed use), and a flared aluminum magwell. Suppressor sights are also installed for co-witnessing.

Which recoil spring is best for running subsonic ammunition in a Glock 19?

The lightweight recoil spring from Blacklist Industries is specifically designed to reliably cycle subsonic 165-grain ammunition in a Glock 19, which often struggles with standard springs.

Can the lightweight recoil spring be used with a suppressor on a Glock 19?

It is generally not recommended to use the lightweight spring with a suppressor on a Glock 19. The added weight of the suppressor can prevent the slide from returning fully to battery, causing cycling issues.

What ammunition types does the medium weight (15lb) spring reliably cycle in a Glock 19?

The medium weight (15lb) spring from Blacklist Industries is recommended for reliable cycling with both suppressed and unsuppressed 147-grain ammunition, as well as standard 115-grain ball ammunition.
