I have a Gemtech black slide in .40 S&W that I use on my Glock 22 and my HK USP.

Recently I replaced the Glock OEM trigger with a Ghost 3.5 trigger and a new spring kit.

Ever since then the recoil booster on my Black slide has been binding up when I use it on the Glock.

Has anyone else experienced this with a Glock that has a custom trigger on it?

I have not heard of any issues, but here are a couple of thoughts:

1. Not all weapons require the booster. The spring in the recoil booster was calculated to function with original factory recoil springs. If your spring is lighter, I would suggest trying the weapon with a non-boosted end cap. This is a screw-in cap that goes in place of the piston, booster spring, and closer cap. It carries the muzzle threads and screws into the steel ring in the back of the suppressor in place of the closer. I think we have a bunch of these in inventory.

2. The booster does require lubrication with a petroleum-based grease. If dry or if it has been shot with water or water-based substances, try lubricating it properly.

If all else fails, we can take a look at it.

  When you say "new spring kit" are you referring to the trigger return spring or the recoil spring?

If you didn't touch the recoil spring, then there really shouldn't be anything different from the point of view of the suppressor.

Does the piston slide freely in and out of the Blackside? Does the spring look good? No burrs or peening on any of the surface on the piston or where the piston seats in the can?

Took apart the suppressor and all the grease on the booster spring is gone and the recoil booster is coated in carbon build up. I cleaned it and coated it in grease. Hopefully this will help.
