What ammo are you using? That can have a pretty big effect on blowback.

unburnt powder blowing back thru the slide and into your face...

I know shooting my osprey dry I feel like I get more particle back in my face. But that's probably just me. My glock has horrible particle blowback. Its like having someone throw sand at my face. My FNX and 1911 are much much better. The 1911 had barely any that I could tell |

Maybe try Rugged pistons since they are not slotted and fit Silencerco cans. No first hand experience, just a thought. I know they are out of stock at most reputable dealers, I'm looking for some for my Obsidian with no luck.

Get the strongest recoil spring that will allow your host to function suppressed. Then it will be as quiet as that host can be with the least debris.

Suppressors increase time under pressure resulting in increased rearward slide velocity. I would suggest a host that has a side ejection port rather than the large opening dead center top. You get a similar issue of crap-in-the-face when shooting a suppressed Ruger Mini-14 vs an AR platform. You also might consider handloading using a smaller weight of a faster burning powder. I'm sure the Speer manual has load data for WW231 for 147 gr pills. |

Because the only modern handgun I can think of with a side ejection is a hipoint. |

Silencerco pistons have slots that allow debris to pass through. Because of this my octane is now dedicated to my cz scorpion with a three lug mount. I couldn't stand shooting it on handguns.

Try different ammo. I hate shooting Speer Lawman suppressed because I get pelted in the face. Try some Fiocchi. Night and day difference.

As far as ammo, I've had really good luck with Winchester Winclean 147gr TMJ. Just was at the range this evening shooting a Sig P229 with an AAC Evo-9 and had no blowback at all.

Try a different type of ammo. Or roll your own.

Left handed shooting an AR15 I wear a huge mark of that crap on my face and probably inhale some too.
I'm going to start shooting right handed, I swear.. one day.. maybe.. |

My Octane 9 does this also on my G19. Very annoying. I don't care if I get laughed at with my grinding shield on in the future.

Finally got my hands on some Fiocchi 158gr. World of difference. No more getting hit in the face and its also quieter! Runs great in my suppressed CZ Scorpion as well.
Thanks for all the tips Kevin |
