    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.

      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.

      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.
