This guy was an absolute amateur, he hadn’t even adjusted his return spring for subsonic rounds.
They need to be worried about pissing off a former sharpshooter with nothing to lose. If they think they’re keeping their client safe from a high-caliber Sako in the hands of someone that knows how to use it, they’re dreaming.
You don’t adjust springs for subsonic loads. That’s not a thing. His can didn’t have a Nielsen device. Simple as.
On an auto loading rifle platform you could adjust an adjustable gas block if the weapon is equipped with one, allowing you to tune the gas pressure to ensure reliable function, but a Nielsen device is necessary on any modern handgun that doesn’t have a fixed barrel design.
Not trying to dunk on you, just trying to educate, because I keep seeing a lot of fanciful interpretations of how firearms function.
You’re good thank you for the info, in this and my other comment my point is that unless one is a gun enthusiast there is little chance we are going to know these things. I have a family member and a friend that would know all this but they spend a lot of time a money with their hobby, me by comparison, am am absolute casual.
Also, when I did my first competitive shooting circuit my gun jammed, I struggled with clearing the obstruction and carrying on, lost a ton of time. This guy reracked the shots pretty calmly and cleanly, certainly was familiar with this gun and ammo combo.
Ah, so that’s why he had to rack the slide in-between shots. Yeah, that’s stuff only an absolute gun nerd is going to take into account without having practiced.
ITT: people who don’t know what a Nielsen device is.
His “solvent trap” kit built, or street obtained suppressor was not equipped with a Nielsen device, also known as a “piston” or “booster” that allows handguns with a tilting barrel design to cycle with the added weight of a suppressor.
Enough familiarity with his firearm that he can clear FTF/FTE without hesitation, not enough time to familiarize himself with suppressor mechanics and effect on handgun cycling. I wouldn’t be overly surprised if this was a recent form 4 registration.
I’m betting it’s a Temu “oil filter” not a proper suppressor that requires paperwork. Shooter clearly knew they were cutting corners but practiced to deal with it anyhow.
That’s wild, I didn’t even know that was a thing. I wonder if he’d have had better luck buying a US-made piston off the shelf and finding an “oil filter” that fits.

It’s fun to learn about over the years but it’s a deep fucking rabbit hole for sure.

Maybe that’s what the shooter wants us to think… 🤔
