Have been a long time HK owner. I have carried my P9S daily for over 10 years. I have a threaded barrel and use my can as often as possible. Never had an issue with any ammo, none. Eats everything and works flawlessly.
I have wanted the VP9 for a LONG TIME, ever since I saw the prototype at the NRA show in Charlotte several years ago. Imagine my excitement when I saw not only the VP9 but the VP9 tactical on sale and it is advertised as 100% suppressor ready. I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough, ordered and 3 short days later it was in my hands. When using my Hughes Precision suppressor, it fires the first shot but does not eject spent casing. So it turns out that it isn't truly suppressor ready. It is in the sense that it has a threaded barrel, but apparently I need an Nielsen device/booster. 
Any recommendations for a booster? |

Most handguns require a booster, minus a few exceptions.

yeah, not sure why you wouldn't think it wouldnt need a Nielsen device. Almost all tilt barrels do.

Lol tilting barrel needs a booster? Why you think otherwise?

awww, gotcha. I mssed that. Yep, I think pretty much any fixed barrel, you are ok without it, but I am pretty sure that all tilt barrels need the Nielsen Device. I know my Glocks do. I have the same VP9 you have. THe only thing is they use that Euro weeinie LH 13.1 twist or whatever. I have to buy a new suppressor for it.

That's not a failure of the pistol. It is suppressor ready, but your can isn't ready to be used on a browning style actions. Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer of your can and find a LID from them.

My P9S has a fixed barrel. It is the only pistol I have suppressed. I am not an expert on suppressors or Nielsen devices. I didn't really look into it much I guess. I took HK for their word as well as read several reviews and watched several vids of the VP9T using one suppressor after another with no issues. Now I'm on the hunt for a compatible booster.

As everyone else has already said, you need a booster for a tilting barrel.
Whats the make of the suppressor? Hopefully yours is at least compatible with a booster, I didn't see any on the Hughes Precision website that looked like they would be. Most suppressors made for handguns these days have boosters. The area at the rear of the suppressor here that is textured is the Booster, or LID as Gemtech calls theirs. It's got a spring in between the threaded piston and the rest of the suppressor.  Attached File |

As said, you will need a booster... Also, you should not use a boosted can on a fixed barrel gun. I have seen that break the threaded portion of the barrel off.
