So I threaded the barrel on my 92 today...

[jrainw]

and it is much quieter than I thought it would be. The only catch is that it won't cycle the slide now. I've been told that,
a. It will never work without a recoil booster
and
b. That if I get a lighter recoil spring it will run fine
Has anyone here run a Trident9 on a 92 or M9? What did you do to make it run?
If it had the browning "tilt barrel" type action I would just go by the booster. With the Beretta the barrel comes straight back so I have heard it will work without it.

Worthless without pics..

Threaded on a 70 year old Monarch 10EE I got at an auction. Single point threading is so cool.

It should run OK
I do not know the trident but most will run on the Beretta

Looks good, I can't wait to get mine done!!

I plan to run a poseidon on mine without a booster, but I am going to run a booster on it with my Isis9.

Those are the plans at least.

I had the same problem on the Sig. Ran fine after a spring change. I know different gun but same idea. I just can't see a recoil booster doing anything.
Anyways great looking setup. I will pester you about it the next time I see you at Bear Hardware.

I just sold a AAC Evo to a guy and he put it on the Taurus clone and it ran fine. He had his extended and threaded, make sure the can isn't hitting when you rack the slide back.

Most of the time, Beretta 92's will run without a booster. I would try some different recoil springs and see what happens. The Trident9 is on the larger end of the 9MM suppressor size spectrum. Most cans that are 1.25" OD are lighter and thus run better. The Trident9 is 1.375" OD, and fairly long.

yum!

Thanks for the comments, I will try to find a spring and report back. From what I've read the stock spring is 16# and I need a 10#.

+1. I'm pretty sure you have to extend the 92/M9 barrel, as there's not enough sticking out in front of the slide to thread on properly. It would seem you either bottom out on the slide, or more likely, you didn't thread your barrel far enough and you're only engaging a portion of the threads in the can. I would worry about the can coming loose and also fouling the CRAP out of the threads in the can that aren't engaged on the barrel.

I dropped my 92A1 off at my machinest today to have the factory bbl threaded (not extended) per AAC's machine drawings.

This. Per AAC's specs, the thread depth needs to be .400" to the shoulder. There is enough of the factory barrel there to do this. I had my 92 clone threaded this way to accept my AAC Phantom and it runs like a top.

do you know the max thread depth available on a factory barrel?

you say there is enough for .400 what the max that you can go

I'm just curious

ill be having mine threaded soon

 

[VUPDblue]

I don't know exactly what's available but it can't be more than .450" or thereabouts. With my can mounted against the shoulder, there is just barely enough of a gap that the slide doesn't contact the can when fully in battery.

Actually I went with the 1/2x28 AAC Evo 9 specs of .33 overall with a .06 thread relief as shown on page 5.

I am chalking this one up as a learning process, but if it is to short for the TM booster I will just shorten the threads on the booster. If it still doesn't work I will buy a new barrel and kick myself in the arse!!! meh!!

Regarless it will work with the Poseidon which is unboosted.

how does extending work and i assume it pricey?

 

[VUPDblue]

My gunsmith said extending the barrel could be done in the form of an adapter. Basically he'd thread the barrel and then thread-on an adapter to increase the length.

 

[mms]

makes sence probably similar to the thread adaptor on my p22 it has a part that fits under the slide, then the front part which is 1/2 x 28

 

[VUPDblue]

exactly

Price wasn't too bad I think $75, but I don't recall for sure. Basically it was a thread adapter, and you could barely tell there was one on there. Tornado Tech did the work and it looked top notch. I know if you want to run the Silencerco Osprey you either need the barrel extended or get the longer piston because it hangs low.

huh I don’t think I particularly care for that, just one more set of threads to possibly come lose.
