You can: drill holes in a Std CH, RTV the juncture, get an adj gas key, get an adj carrier, get an adj gas block, play with weights and springs, etc.
Many options to mitigate or eliminate gas to the face.

I’ve been shooting supressed for 20 years and never understood the “gas eye” until this evening, when I finally put together and shot my FM9 with a .45 tiRant. Had to get a 1/2 x 36 to 1/2 x 28 adapter to make it work, and was glad because it extended the connection out enough that I didn’t have to try to fit my fat, long can under the rail.
So, I must address this situation.
What is the EASIEST remedy?
I won’t be adjusting weights, springs, gas blocks, keys, or carriers.
Is there a fuctional replacement CH? I normally wear eyegear when shooting, but stepped out in the yard to play with my new toy...
Never loaded, never fired, why put on eye protection with an unfamiliar firearm
Does drilling holes in a cheap CH make a difference?
Thanks for helping an oily eyed noob
Sorry OP for the thread drift
