I've been trying to figure out why my Glock 19 and my Omega 9k won't return to battery fully after cycling. There's 1/8" left before it returns to full battery. This happens every 2-3 rounds. If I shake the pistol slightly, it'll return to battery but at times, I'll have a light primer strike.
My equipment include a Vickers 19 with a Silencerco barrel and Omega 9k running ETS magazine. Ammo used are 115gr UMC and 115gr Magtech. The gun was cleaned before the range session--lightly oiled barrel and greased slide rails. The Omega 9k's piston is greased.
I'm having issues before and after the I replaced the recoil spring from stock to a 20lb spring on a stainless rod. Firing unsuppressed is fine with either spring.
Has anyone had these issues and found a solution? Thanks in advance.
SOLUTION UPDATE 7/15/2017
Took the 19 to the range yesterday and had 4 hangups out of 150 rounds. Before the slide hung up every 2-3 rounds. I would say my problems are solved because I do agree the Omega 9k is a pretty heavy suppressor. I should note with the suppressor mounted, the recoil spring test does not work even on the 20lb spring. The things that were different this range trip are
1. Fully stripped and cleaned pistol. I don't think this played a huge factor because my pistol was pretty clean during the first two range trips.
2. Add a mess load of lithium grease to the piston. I got hit in the face with some during blow back.
3. Polished trigger bar, connector, slide guide rail, and locking block with a dremel and Mother's mag polish. I did this because I had to release the trigger all the way for the slide to return to battery during the first two range trips. Smoothened it out and I feel a hair less resistance. It's also cheap if you have the dremel and polishing compound.
4. ordered trigger spring, firing pin spring, and a titanium plunger. I installed everything oher than the trigger spring.
I was too impatient to test these items separately and go to the range 3 times but I recommend anyone having this issue try to rule out the issues in this order unless you don't want to do any polishing.
Thanks Silencerco for sending me a new barrel quickly but I did not have to put it in. I'm sending it back to them.
P.s. Beware of the Double Diamond 3.5lb Connector. I installed it after the range trip and my striker released while trying to reset the trigger. It's not safe and seems like unintentional double taps are imminent.
