Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key design considerations for the new Shadow Systems 9mm suppressor?

Shadow Systems focused on lightweight construction for their 9mm suppressor to ensure reliability on tilt-locking barrel guns. They also incorporated modularity with short or long baffle sections and used titanium blast baffles and a bronze piston assembly for optimized performance.

Why did Shadow Systems choose a threaded barrel over a tri-lug system for their new pistols?

Shadow Systems opted for a conventional threaded barrel setup to ensure broad compatibility with their existing threaded barrel firearms. The tri-lug system explored had a very short lug length (0.25 inch), which proved insufficient for reliable alignment with suppressors, leading to baffle strikes.

How does ammunition affect the performance of Shadow Systems compensators?

Compensators perform best with higher pressure and more gas. 'Spicy' 115 or 124 grain rounds, and particularly +P ammunition, provide the most significant improvement in compensator effectiveness by increasing gas volume and pressure.

Is the Shadow Systems XR920P suitable for duty use?

Yes, the XR920P is considered a viable duty pistol. It is similar in size to a Glock 17, highly reliable, and designed to fit readily available holsters, making it practical for law enforcement or security professionals.
