Anybody here running the 320 with factory threaded bbl and a suppressor?
I work part time for a Sig dealer and am getting reports of problems with 320 cycling when using suppressor. Boss was on the phone yesterday with Sig about it. Apparently Sig thinks there could be an issue and is looking into it. We also manufacture suppressors and have ten of them with the Navy SOCOM guys for eval. Navy was only going to test with Sig 226 and Glock 19, but since the DoD picked the 320, Navy wants to test with the 320. Comments? |

I run a 320C 9mm w/ factory threaded barrel and an Osprey with no problems.
Factory ammo has never produced any issues. The only cycling issues I encountered were when I was working on subsonic handloads. I was trying to find out what velocity I needed to stay above for reliable cycling. |

I've got a barrel and piston on the way. I'll let you know.
What suppressor was that Customer running? Maybe a weight problem? |

There was a thread on here a while back about a guy having problems.

Mine runs fine w/ every can I have (45 Octane, 45 Osprey, both 45 & 9mm TiRants, & Surefire Ryder 9.)
Granted, it's only ever shot 147 gr ammo when using cans, but NEVER a hiccup. & with the GrayGuns trigger massage, it's my fave hogleg in the safe. Currently searching for a good IWB holster for it + Inforce. |

Just a follow up.
Finally got my ghreaded barrel today today and took it and my can to the range. The gun only had about 100 round total before today. First 3 or 4 mags the gun would not cycle with the suppressor on it, off it worked fine. After the 3 or 4 mags it ran fine. When i say would not cycle, I mean the slide did not go all the way back and would fail to eject the spent casing. |

Im running a osprey 45 with 115 grain plinking ammo. Federal I think. Ill take it back out this week and test it again. Just to make sure it works still my theory is the recoil spring needed to be broken in. My gun only had around 100 rounds thru it before trying it with the can on it. I'm somewhere around 200 to 250 total rounds as of today. |

Mine cycled fine when it was working (P320 Compact w/threaded barrel), but there was either a problem with the barrel or the piston in my GA Revolution can or the ammo I was shooting was shit, as it had an end cap strike which basically destroyed the end cap. Baffles were ok, just the end cap got ruined. It yanked the can over the threads on the barrel, ruining them. To Sig's credit they issued an RMA pretty instantly, even though it took them quite a few weeks to replace the barrel...I haven't shot it since I got it back. The ammo I was shooting was Fed Aluminum-cased 115 gr 9mm. For the record that was the 2nd time that ammo has acted badly in a suppressor; the .45ACP flavor of the same ammo also swiped the end cap on my GA Revo45 earlier. It also has a shit reliability record in my MP5K clone and anything with a stepped chamber in 9mm (most Walthers, etc)...
It's worth noting that other than the Fed crap I was shooting my own reloads, which was IIRC 4gr of Hodgdon CFE with a 147gr ball on top and it worked fine; no strikes using that. It's also close to the max recommended load with that powder so it had plenty of energy to cycle the action... |

It's also close to the max recommended load with that powder so it had plenty of energy to cycle the action... my other theory is the piston was not "engaged" properly at first. I say this because the can parts are right hand threaded and the barrel is left hand. I noticed when putting the can on the first time when I got it right on the barrel, it started to loosen the piston housing. I eventually got it on there with the piston housing and barrel mated tight. |

Took it out today and it does seem my problem was caused by the piston housing being slightly loose.
It ran fine for about 6 mags then several failure to eject.. snugged the piston housing and problem went away. |

Ran some 147 grain speer through my P320 yesterday with my octane attached. Ran fine, no issues. I guess 115 grain is too light to cycle the pistol.

Just got a factory threaded barrel for my P320C and took it out today with my AAC Tirant 9. I ran 2 mags through and it wouldn't cycle once. Had to rack the slide every single time. I run the same ammo and can through my Glock and Beretta 92. Never had an issue.
Needless to say I wasn't happy. Barrel will show up in the EE soon. |

I have the TACOPs and use an Octane 9 on it with subs without a problem. I do find it spits more crud at me than my G19 does though.
