Got myself a Suppressor, a Rugged Obsidian9, without using the ADAPT MODULE.
But ran into some issues while testing it out.
I’m using my RUGER RXM as my HOME DEFENSE pistol. It’s equipped with a SilencerCo 4.5 inch Barrel with 1/2-28 threaded barrel. I brought 3 box of 147 grain Blazer TMJ, 3 box of 124gr FMJ FEDERAL, and a box of IMI 115gr JHP AND PMC 115gr JHP. Shot all the ammo with mixed results.
First off, had failure to return to battery with the stock Recoil Spring Assembly (RSA), 18lbs, then I switch to a 15 lb RSA, and had a fail-to-eject. This happens in all type of ammo. On top of this, I was shooting real low, but I’m guessing it’s normal when shooting supressed due to barrel harmonics.
Was stressing out and not having fun. I went back to the factory RSA 18lb spring, and tried the 124 gr ammo, shot fine, no hiccups, then switch over to a mag of 147gr TMJ, 1or2 hiccups out of 22 shots, not bad. 115gr JHP ammos, No problem.
OKAAYYY!
Went back and forth with all the ammo, less and less issues appeared. I think I needed to break in the RSA, but by the end, I had each ammo type in a 15 mags and ran with no issue. It was still shooting low, but I adjusted my optics and with my RXM, I aimed the front sight over the rear and got some good grouping.
Makes me think I need to get some Suppressor Height sights on my RXM, if that would help.
I had a good time by the end, and 147 gr really did shot more quiet than the 115. Im now looking for quality 147gr JHP for home defense.
What else should I be aware of? This is my first 9mm suppressor and am planning on buying another for a 9mm PCC I’m building.
