1911 as a Suppressor Host?

rmbstyle · Sep 25, 2017

Just picked up my Rugged Obsidian 45 today. The only 45 host that I currently have is a Sig 1911 TacOps. How do the 1911's run suppressed? I was gonna pick up a Sig 1911 threaded barrel, but if 1911's are a bad suppressor host id probably just skip the barrel and pick up a new host.

Thanks

I did a little research on this a while back when planning my own suppressed 1911. My understanding is 1911s work fine suppressed as long as you use full power factory ammo. Where you may have issues is if you used lighter handloads, or had a 9mm 1911.

From what I've seen, the Remington 1911 tactical or whatever runs more reliably than a Glock 21 suppressed. The 1911 runs flawlessly with factory ball ammo while the Glock 21 would sometimes fail to go into battery.

I have had no problems running a can on my Sig 1911. My only complaint is it felt a little front heavy on the 1911. My P220 balances a little better with my Silencerco Octane and it spends most of its time on this gun.

That was a common complaint I saw, while some stated the extra weight would cause cycling issues because the 1911 is "finnicky" as they said

I'll let you know soon, just picked up my SilencerCo Osprey.

I have several different types to try out on, SA Inc. Range Officer, Sig GSR, some High Standard POS I picked up in trade or just for giggles, my US&S 1911A1

Mine runs great. I keep it lubed like a 1911 should be and it runs fine on freedom munitions or any other ammo I have put through it. It is a little louder than 9mm.

I had that problem a few times with my Glock 21SF. All I did was make sure I kept the piston lubed real good on the booster and it was never a problem again.

Me too, but It doesn't come close to rivaling some of yours.
