Why Your Suppressed Pistol Won’t Cycle (And Should You Even Run One?)

This guide, presented by Justin from Palmetto State Armory, details the installation of pistol suppressors on firearms with tilting barrel mechanisms. It emphasizes the necessity of a Nielsen device (piston) to ensure proper cycling due to the added weight of the suppressor. The process includes preparing the barrel, assembling and greasing the Nielsen device, and securely attaching the suppressor, with a crucial safety reminder to always handle firearms unloaded.

This video demonstrates the sound reduction capabilities of the Silencerco Omega 9K suppressor when attached to a Glock 19X. The presenter highlights the significant noise reduction achieved during live fire at an outdoor range, expressing strong satisfaction with the suppressor's performance. The demonstration includes attaching the suppressor and firing multiple rounds.

This guide details the adaptation of 9mm suppressors for various firearm types. It explains the necessity of booster assemblies for tilt-barrel handguns like Glocks and the simple conversion to a fixed-barrel setup by removing the spring and adding a spacer. The video also touches on modular suppressors and alternative mounting systems like tri-lug adapters.

This guide details best practices for mounting suppressors, emphasizing proper alignment and host firearm compatibility. It covers standard barrel shoulders, Soviet-style barrel indexing, and potential issues with AK sight towers. The importance of alignment rods and Nielsen devices for tilting barrel actions is highlighted, along with the risks of baffle strikes due to improper mounting.

This video demonstrates the installation and testing of various suppressors, including the B&T Verse 36 on a Glock 19X. The presenter highlights the modularity of the Verse 36, its compatibility with different calibers, and the importance of devices like Nelson devices for reliable cycling with suppressed handguns. Initial impressions suggest good sound reduction and accuracy.

This video compares four 9mm and 10mm-capable suppressors: the new Dead Air RXD910Ti, Dead Air Mojave 45, Dead Air Mojave 9, and Hux Works Flow 9K Ti. It highlights differences in caliber ratings, modularity, mounting systems (hub compatibility, tri-lug, piston booster), and design features like ports/vents and built-in flash hiders. The comparison focuses on sound and recoil reduction capabilities, with the RXD910Ti offering recoil reduction via front ports and the Hux Works emphasizing 100% flow-through design.

This guide details the advanced 'ghost loading' technique for the Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, as demonstrated by Clint Morgan. It allows for an extra round to be loaded into the chamber without occupying magazine tube capacity. This technique involves manually placing a round on the feed ramp and manipulating the bolt and action release.

This Henry 'New Original' rifle chambered in .45 Colt offers a surprisingly manageable recoil, defying common expectations for the caliber in a lever-action platform. While not traditionally a plinking round due to cost, the shooting experience is exceptionally fun and smooth, making it a noteworthy classic American firearm.

This video showcases a tactical training drill focused on night vision operations. It highlights the importance of proper training, aggressive movement, and effective use of night vision devices and optics for engaging targets in low-light conditions. The drill emphasizes weapon manipulation, target transitions, and passive aiming techniques, demonstrating advanced tactical proficiency.

Clint Morgan, an authoritative voice in firearms, outlines the top 5 guns for an apocalypse scenario, prioritizing reliability, parts availability, and dual-use for defense and hunting. The list includes the Glock 19, Remington 700 Alpha 1 Hunter, Ruger 10/22, Remington 870, and the AR-15 platform, emphasizing practical considerations for survival.
