Was approved at the beginning of July and picked it up a couple of weeks ago.  Finally got around to shooting it this weekend.  Guess I'll call SilencerCo and see what's what.  Shot on a USP 45 Tactical.  It was shooting about 4-5 inches high at 5-6 yards and I wasn't even on the paper at 25 yards.  I guess shooting high would be consistent with the bullet hitting the bottom of the baffles/front end cap?

Edit 8/2:SilencerCo took care of me and had it on its way back to me the same day it arrived at their facility.
Edit 8/6: Just shot a little more than a 100 rounds through, very little POI shift, more accurate than me, and no baffle strikes :)

random: the o-ring on the barrel of a USP 45 tactical is the same o-ring for the inside of silencerco's 16x1 LHM piston, 14x1 viton.

Wow, not cool. But I know Silencerco will take care of you and get your can back out to you the same day they get it in their shop.

Def send in to SilencerCo - they'll take care of you.  There was thread posted a while ago where the POI shift with can was several inches.  The core was replaced & the POI went away.

Id consider sending them the barrel as well.

+1.  They have the best customer service that I have ever encountered in the gun industry.

That was me.  I even got a free piston for my 9mm out of the deal.  Great customer service.

Tell me why people continue to show up on here to complain about a product prior to any discussion with the manufacturer...?

We ALL know that SilencerCo will make it right.  In the time you spend posting pictures and description, you could have contacted Josh, Gary, Kenny, etc to discuss corrective measures.
I can respect the guys who have an issue that goes uncorrected so they feel posting here will generate a more timely resposnse from the manuf.
Do everyone a favor and be sure to come back to your original post and tell everyone how you were made whole and your issue was fixed.

Wow,, that is not cool at all.

Did you look through the barrel and suppressor combination.  Did it look misaligned?

His post didn't have a whole lot of "complain" in it.  And, why the hell should we protect the manufacturer's reputation?  For the sake of argument, if Silencer Co. makes 10% of its suppressors that have alignment problems, that's plenty reason to avoid their products.  And that is what is so good about Internet forums, to get advanced product performance information.  I sure has hell don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and spend months in anticipation just to learn that a company is good at fixing their bad products.  No thank you, I do not want to go that route ever.

Please show me where I complained.  Oh wait, here's a link for you: learn something!

I've spoken to them and they gave me zero push back, so if it's the can, I'm confident they'll take care of me.  After examination, if they request that I send the barrel, I will.  Otherwise I'm not packing up $1300 just because.  I'd rather have a stolen/lost suppressor and still have my pistol 100% rather than have nothing.

Furthermore, I bought SilencerCo's product because of their honesty, which is evident in their employee's posts and in their videos on youtube.  I didn't even consider another product.

LOL tell them that it'll cost $50 for you to send them the barrel, because of it's teutonic awesomeness, and because they suck, and you hate them.  I just paid $270 for a factory HK barrel for my USP (waiting on a 45Osprey right now), and I know I wouldn't want to part with it!  Sorry to hear about the baffle strike; I had one on my first can after a few rounds, and just felt sick to my stomach for hours wondering if it was trashed.  That ain't no way to live.

You jackasses have inspired me to send the barrel as well.  It will be there tomorrow morning so we'll all know pretty soon :)

That would suck.  I've never had a baffle strike in a production suppressor.  All my barrels are ADCO threaded. To have a baffle strike on the first range trip would really be disheartening.  

The surprising part in this is that generally HK threads mean factory barrels- so that would seem to imply they should all be the same.  Jarvis is one source of aftermarket, but their barrels are exceptionally high quality.

I'm pretty sure the HK thread requires the mounted accessory to register on the muzzle- so really it would be difficult to make a barrel that would not provide proper mounting of the suppressor as the muzzle would have to not be perpendicular to the barrel OD.  

Ive had baffle strikes in an Impulse IIa suppressor on the HK USP Tactical before.  Turned out to be mis-alignment due to the booster assembly on the can.

These things happen from time to time.  My issue was taken care of free of charge (just paid shipping) by the manufacturer.  

I'm sure silencerco will take care of you.

What ever came of this? I'm curious to hear what SilencerCo had to say.

I agree.  I do not think the OP was complaining, but give the manufacturer a chance before you post.  I understand the whole "that is why forums are here" argument too.  Here is a novel idea...if something goes wrong, take pics, document what happened, call the manufacturer, let them deal with the issue, and then post a report.  That way people won't think that the manufacturer is dicked up.  Baffle strikes happen for a lot of reasons, the least of which is usually the manufacturers fault.  Most all manufacturers will fix the problem.  SilencerCo is just the top dog with customer service.  They fix things no questions asked.    The problem lies with the new guy who comes to the forum looking for info an his first purchase and he is now turned off from can "X" even though can "X" is a great can.  It might have ruined that particular manufacturer for life in the mind of the reader.



The OP did nothing wrong...but hopefully in the future people will take a deep breath and let the dust settle.  I have a customers can going back to the manufacturer right now for problems, but you wont see what manufacturer or can it is here.  If they do an awesome job, I may post company X did an awesome job handling a bad situation, and if they do a crappy job, then you will hear about that too.



Speaking of which, YHM just sent a customer his can back and did an awesome job taking care of him.  They refunded his shipping in product and fixed his problem.  Nate and the guys at YHM are freaking awesome.  The problem was not YHMs fault either...a well known AR manufacturer did not cut concentric threads.

See OP

Good news! Glad to hear it.

Might have to give them a call for my Osprey 45, first time out ended up having baffle strike and front cap strikes.  Shooting a Glock 21SF with Lone Wolf Barrel, thinking the barrel is the biggest problem.
