What’s the best way to fix the guide rod on my polymer 80 from hitting my suppressor? It barely hits it. I have not tried to shoot it to see if it works fine. But it locks open by cycling by hand. I already filed the roundness off of the end to flaten it out. Took off about a 1/16”-1/8”. Get a longer barrel?

Not sure the answer but that does look like a really small gap of barrel sticking out. Mine are significantly larger

What barrel is that? I’m assuming it’s a Poly80 Glock frame.
They designed the barrel wrong. It needs to be longer. I’ve seen this with a couple manufacturers. |

Longer barrel is the answer. If the suppressor has an XL piston available that might work as well.

While most barrel tenons are a little further out, that's a suppressor/booster design fail. 1/4" minimum clearance is needed to ensure against guide rod contact, and it should be assumed that pistols exist where the shoulder or thread termination is right at the slide face (Beretta 92s are often threaded this way with stock barrels). From the looks of it, there's barely 1/8" of piston protruding from the housing.

The barrel does look a little short. The guide rod also protrudes quite a bit from the front of the slide while in battery.
You could always cut more off of the guide rod. You will just lose the captured function of the guide rod making reassembly more tricky. |
|
I'm more concerned about the second picture. They jacked with the ejection port window AND the hardened locking surface. I would not trust this slide. I would not buy this slide. I would not recommend this slide or this company.

That barrel is too short to use with most suppressor body and piston configurations. Three to four threads engagement is the rule of thumb for full threaded fastener strength. You could try adding a spacer or shim for clearance provided you leave 3-4 threads engagement. As long as you retain at least 3-4 threads of engagement and keep it tight to a square shoulder (of a spacer or shim stack) it should function fine once you create some clearance. An extended piston is the preferred solution if somebody makes one.
|

The issue is in the barrel. You need a longer barrel. For a Glock, there should be 1/4" between the rear of the threads and the front of the slide. I don't know if Gemtech still does aftermarket barrels, but if not, check with Lone Wolf. I know both work perfectly with the standard Glock slides.
The correct barrels are 5/8 inch overlength with 3/8 inch of threads, leaving the 1/4 inch bare barrel needed for clearance of the guide rod on the Browning design weapons. |

The threaded Sig 320 barrel is stupid looking and long because of that issue.

View Quote I offer shorty pistons for the no guide rod 1911 & BHP crowd who want minimal gap, and I'll custom build pistons of any length, but my pistol cans have 1/4" of piston protruding with my tri-lugs or any standard 2" 10-point piston. |

So I talked to the manufacture of this barrel today. They were nice on the phone. The guy told me all their barrels are this length. He also said he owns a silencerco barrel for his G17 and his guide rod hits as well. But I could trade my old barrel back and pay the difference for another brand on their site. So not really sure it will fix my issue. Maybe it’s a gen3 problem since gen4-5 use a bigger guide rod and spring.

Yeah, you can pass the buck and blame the gun or barrel maker, but in the end you still have an owner wishing he'd gone with a different can and remembering that the next time he buys. View Quote There are thread standards out there. AAC and SilencerCo make 1/2-28 thread guides along with instructions on how much clearance is needed. Have for over a decade. These jackasses either didn’t read them or more importantly didn’t give a shit. For every one of these too short barrels there are 50 that thread shit correctly. These guys are incompetent. I could throw a lawn dart in the air in the dungeon at SHOT and probably hit a company that provides a properly threaded 1/2-28 Glock barrel. At the end of the day the right fix is to get a new barrel- one made to the print. As opposed to settling for some company that apparently doesn’t care that they are selling an inferior product to unassuming customers. |

Seems like all of the options have been covered, OP. Using that can with that piston and that barrel and guide rod will result in the suppressor hitting the guide rod. Your options are to:
1. Live with the suppressor beating on the guide rod 2. Get a different barrel or 3. Use a different can that has a longer piston. You have to decide. |

Your critique of barrel threading sloppiness is spot on, but sort of supports that the OPs barrel maker hasn't actually tried to integrate too many popular designs onto their product. As to those popular suppressor designs, can makers like to have suppressive volume within the advertised length of their product, so a longer piston makes their product look longer. A longer barrel can give a little more velocity in unsuppressed mode and a longer lever arm for the mass of a compensator. All the different solutions get similar results as far as suppressor function. I personally prefer a slightly extended barrel, and/or the availability of extra long piston. I still think a nice thick 1/2-28 spacer from SiCo or Gemtech or Precision Armament might save the day here, and the tolerance stacking through a .45 can shouldn't be an issue.
Suppressors are a little bit like wine, cigars, and brandy. They have a character that isnt completely quantifiable, and are burdened under the same ATF market distorting regulatory bullshit. It isn't surprising there are different tastes and claims. |

The number of barrels and attachments I've had to chase threads on/in or completely rethread also suggest there's not that much uniformity among well known manufacturers. Aside from ANSI/ASME thread standards, there exists no universally accepted specification for tenon lengths, distance from given points, fore & aft undercut. I've had to do work up to & including rethreading lots of factory barrels from some of those well known & respected manufacturers because a DT can or muzzle device bottomed out due to lack of undercut, or the muzzle contacted internals of a can before the mount touched shoulder. For instance, there is more than one manufacturer out there doing AR-length tenons on rimfire barrels, when rimfire tenons should really be no longer than .475". Anyone who's tried to put certain rimfire cans on an M&P-15/22 or KelTec CMR-30 has discovered this for themselves. A .625" tenon on centerfire rifles may also bottom out in a number of muzzle devices without a crush washer or shims. And then there are plenty of factory threaded barrels out there which are not axially aligned and concentric, causing bafffle strikes. Like I said above, I make a good share of my income correcting these issues. There's nothing us manufacturers can do to address poor alignment aside from increase the aperture size in our cans, which none of us are about to sacrifice performance just so some crappy AK barrel won't send a bullet into a baffle.

The decision to build that way is a result of having to modify so many barrels and muzzle attachments from other manufacturers. And from that day forward I'll be in your corner on any debate over how far out a gunmaker or barrel maker should start the tenon. Until then, I maintain that it's incumbent on us to offer mounting solutions that won't leave our customers high & dry, at least not without detailing compatibility requirements in product descriptions. But it's a free country with an open market and plenty of forums to commend or condemn products, so if someone wants to just do as they see fit and let the chips fall where they may, that's their business. And on that note, I'll shut up. After all, I do make money solving problems for end users that are not addressed by major manufacturers.

But as a note you could put the factory plastic guide rod back in the gen 3 and use it. If it will work with that setup. It will not hurt the suppressor and the gun will still function. Till you get a new barrel.
The plastic one will flex upward a little. I did this until I got an extended one. Plus that suppressor will actually move forward on the piston if the rod does contact it just a little. Grab suppressor and pull forward. It moves, thats why it has a piston. To allow it to move with a non fixed barrel. As long as you can fully retract slide to the rear, plus lock it back. If it were mine I'd shoot a few rounds through it and see how it works. Worse thing that could happen is it wont cycle. But if you can pull the ALL THE WAY BACK. I bet it will fire just fine. You can actually hold the slide with your hand and shoot the gun. It's not as violent as you think. The rod only moves up and forward some. It does not slam hard against anything. The worst thing that could happen would be a fte or ftf. But like I stated. If you can cycle the slide all the way back and all it's doing is just touching. It'll fire and cycle. Plus suppressor moves on piston. Oh yeah make sure the piston is lubed good. What really sucks is I believe 1911s require an extended piston I believe I read that. Not sure though. |

Bullet strikes happen from threading the suppressor on wrong or bullets leaving the barrel in irregular fashion. My G17 guide rod touchs my Griffin Resistance 9 suppressor. I've fired over 2k through it. Heck the guide rod on all my 9mm glocks touch the resistance. The supressor does not wobble side ways on the piston nor can it be pushed side ways if installed properly. Look at the picture the op POSTED the guide rod with slide fully retracted is just barely touching suppressor. It's not pushing the suppressor 1/2 way, not a 1/4 heck I doubt not even 1/64 it will not effect the FUNCTION. I'm not being a smart ass but these things are not toys that easily break. They are built extremely tough. I've put my fair share through hell in my time in battalion and never broke one. Not saying you can't, but I seriously doubt op will do what it takes to cause one to fail. |

It looks to me like this under $20 1/2-28 threaded spacer would leave enough threads for engagement and provide enough clearance:
