Octane pistol to Carbine tips

[ramairthree]

I have an Octane 45 I use on my pistols.

I only have threaded barrels on 9mm pistols.

I have a 1/2 x 28.

I have a new 9mm Carbine but it has 5/8 x 24.

I know there are some new can inserts. I know I can put an adapter on the Carbine.

Is anyone here familiar with the company’s options so I can just put my can on between pistol and carbine rapidly?

If it was me, I’d buy a 5/8-24 piston and a fixed barrel spacer.

There’s no “quick” way to do it because you have to get rid of the spring when swapping to the carbine. Might as well change the piston at the same time instead of using an adapter. I prefer the piston/FBS instead of the fixed mount because it keeps the booster cage cleaner.

Thank you. If I have a 9mm 1/2 by 28 pistol can,
And swapped it to a 9mm1/2 by 28 9mm Carbine with no change to the piston, what issues would I run into? I know there would be no benefit to direct threading the pistol mount piston to a fixed barrel 9mm Carbine, but what badness would ensue?

Ive read from a few sources (i think one was a manufacturer), that the can will destroy itself.

Which 9mm Carbine barrel has 5/8 x 24 thread?

Damage to the threads on the host weapon and/or baffle strikes. That’s the main concerns with using a Nielsen device on a fixed barrel.

Here's a pretty good video on why you shouldn't.

Really like this thread choice for a 9mm bore.

It should be more popular.

A 45 caliber can on two different 9mm then. You'd think there would be enough clearance to keep the Neilson device spring installed but I'm not sure I'd chance it. Time for another gun or another can, or both.

I have a YHM 9mm Wraith that I'll be moving back and forth between pistol and PCC but my M9A3 doesn't need a spring on it's suppressor.
