Sorry if this has been asked before - I tried searching but haven't found the answer I'm looking for. I have the the HDPS .45 7.87" threaded barrel and a newly acquired Griffin Armament Revolution 45. When I threaded the piston onto the barrel, I noticed it doesn't shoulder leaving a small gap. Is this normal or should I have the barrel threads adjusted?

Since the 13.5, 14 and 16 LH index off the muzzle, not the barrel shoulder, I would think you would be fine.
I have a couple Walther 9mm barrels in 13.5x1 LH that fall short of the shoulder as well with the suppressor attached. They function fine.

That's good to know, thanks. I'll mount it up and shoot away!

This brings up a related question I have and maybe one of you have some experience or advice: I have a AAC TiRant 45 waiting for the stamp (so I don't have the suppressor with me)-I bought all the pistons available so I can use with my MK23, USPc 45, USP 45 Tactical, USP 9mm SD and MP5 (Turner clone with 3 lug). When I put in the proper piston for the MK23 it screws down all the way that it touches the front of the slide and if I tighten until it is tight on the thread it rubs up against the slide-on all the other pistols (with the proper piston for them) there is a gap where the threads end and the front of the slide is so it does not get close to the slide. Anyone with a MK23 and AAC TiRant that can give me advice? I am not a member on any other forums or silencer forums and since I saw this related post figured someone HK might could help-thanks I advance!

Should have a tiny gap. Just mounted mine and checked. A .006" feeler gauge went in easily after racking the slide. I see no evidence of the slide hitting the piston.

Thanks for the response-that just seems as something is not right with mine then because there is no way you will get a feeler gauge between the front of my slide and the piston. I am curious if I buy another piston if maybe the threads are set differently?

Don't know. I didn't see how MUCH feeler, but I could see a sliver of light between piston and front of slide, and .006" went in freely.
