So gassy any idea if that’s the ammo or just how this gun functions supressed?

Supressor isn’t a flow through type, so adds back pressure causing more gas, direct blowback is inherently gassy, and can also be oil burning off since the supressor is causing extra heat in the action

Absolutely useless. Suppressor twice the size of gun

Rugged 9 is gassy on most guns

What would be a better pistol can for around 1200$ budget I’d like something 3d printed titanium not sure if you have any experience with one of those

I don’t think it’s the can, looks like you’re shooting with a Walther, that gun will be gassy with any can.

I have a Rugged Obsidian 45 running on my FNX-45T & FN-510T. Gas and particles are a “hazard” of firing suppressed. The 10mm due to the higher pressures of produces even more gas than the 45. When I fire defensive ammo vs ball, it’s even worse. I clean the suppressor after almost every range trip and grease the piston as recommended. Other than this, there’s no oil involved but expect these larger calibers to produce significant gas with the RO 45. If I run the shorter configuration, it lessens the blowback bit does not eliminate it.

The Obsidian 9 is pretty gassy as well.

Looks like your oil burning off. Wtf did you use?

[-]

Guineapirate65@reddit

Also have someone show you how to properly grip it

[-]

Best_Compote2522@reddit (OP)

Probably right and I’ve always held handguns different than people instruct me and I shoot them well maybe I’m just weird but I will YouTube another method and try

[-]

toxicatedscientist@reddit

Na fuck that, you shoot however it’s comfortable, long as youre hitting what your aiming at

If you repeatably hit the target, ignore the "advice". I shoot USPSA, and people sometimes try to critique me helpfully. I listen respectfully and then carry on doing my thing. Bullets, repeatedly, on target are what matters.
Or, as it was explained to me more than 20 years ago, No one remembers which gun they had, what stance they used, or their grip style. They only remember who lived.

If you're the guy I was squadded with who had such a teacup type grip it looks like you're holding the magazine in, it was me who tried to politely suggest trying a higher support hand.

But if that was you, yeah man, do whatever works, and you did listen respectfully

[-]

V0zzi@reddit

Your grip looks perfectly fine to me (a nobody)

[-]

rkpage01@reddit

You sure you're gripping it right?

[-]

Best_Compote2522@reddit (OP)

I think so ? I’m no expert shooter just a new hobby for men

[-]

rkpage01@reddit

Not you OP. The guy saying you need someone to show you how to grip it.

If that is a direct blowback pistol, the addition of a suppressor will just make it more gassy. Also, that smoke can be caused by oil burning off due to heat.

[-]

Best_Compote2522@reddit (OP)

Yeah I did just clean the gun before so probably that didn’t think of that

[-]

extra_flyer@reddit

I’ve found using minimal oil and lubricating contact points with grease (TW25B works phenomenally) helps minimize blowback related to the maintenance of the weapon. A flow through suppressor will help with the rest of its still an issue. For me, I just run grease with traditional cans and the results are pretty great.

noljw@reddit

Direct blow back will be gassy, especially if you aren't using a flow through can. You will have better luck on a tilt barrel gun

[-]

Tower-of-Frogs@reddit

What gun and suppressor? Is that a PPK?

[-]

Best_Compote2522@reddit (OP)

Walther ppk and rugged obsidian 9mm

[-]

Tower-of-Frogs@reddit

A lower back pressure can would help. That’s about all I can think of. Hard to tune a PPK.

My ZVUK suppressor came with instructions to soak it in oil before first use... I guess I took that a bit too far because it turned into a fog machine. I created a smokescreen fifteen feet wide.

[-]

khronos127@reddit

Working as intended. You fire a few rounds and chuck the entire gun at them for a quick smoke bomb.

[-]

Best_Compote2522@reddit (OP)

I just have a bit of lithium grease left from using the booster on my Glock I wouldn’t think it would smoke this much

[-]

-PringlesMan-@reddit

All you can do at this point is just keep shooting it. Whatever gunk is in there will blast out, as I always say! Just keep checking for abnormal wear and making sure the suppressor is tight. If everything is performing normally after a couple hundred rounds, then it's fine.
