I just dont get it...

Id take at least two.

Problem is I want them NOW!!! And it doesnt look like the list will fill up any time soon. Maybe you can request from one of these nice HKpro administrators that a link to join the list be placed on the homepage or in some other highly viewed area of the site? - - Just an idea...

How is it you can get a threaded barrel for all other calibers of the usp compact, but not 9mm? I dont get it. - AND- Why are these companies that make quality products (Jarvis, FireDragon) opposed to manufacturing 9mm threaded barrels?

I want this setup so bad! DAMN IT! <---- (Jack Bauer fans will get that :))
Peace out friends...

UPDATED!

Maybe HKPro can sticky this somewhere. I had a thread on AR15 as well but not a whole lot of interest..

I can't think of a better 9mm to suppress....!

For the same reason that there are only 8 on the list - lack of demand.

If I had the money, I would get another one. The EFK one I got (13.5l) fits loosely and doesn't shoot as accurately as the OEM.

Is everyone on the list that wants one? It would be easier to contact people by email if/when we get 50 people interested. PM me your email address and I'll make an excel file of everyone interested...

When using a USP Compact and AAC Evolution the slide may hang up as it returns to battery position.

Now even drop in barrels often need a little tweeks by a gunsmith. So when this happened to me the first time I figured it was the barrel needing tweeking. I took the set to my local armorer who has a very good reputation. After test firing a couple of times we were able to duplicate the situation.

While he did trim the barrel for a better fit, to my surprise he said the real problem was the recoil spring. (I think I'm using the correct term) He said with your basic ammo there just wasn't enough pressure to cycle the slide properly. I had two options: 1) Get a different recoil spring or 2) use P+ ammo. The problem with plus ammo is, it's not subsonic so that kinda defeats the purpose of using a silencer.

I searched for a new recoil spring but wasn't able to find one so I started using the Evolution silencer on my 226. NOW, that's not to say the combo won't work on your Evolution/USPCompact combination. But it did not work perfectly with mine.

Finally, I'm sure we're going to hear; it's the barrel, it's the barrel, it's the barrel. But without the silencer, my barrel functions perfectly and is accurate. With high pressure ammo the combination seemed to function fine. That fact, in combination with the word of an experienced good reputation armorer tells me it's the spring.

So there you have it. For the record, I am satisfied with my Evolution Silencer, my EFK barrel, and my USP 9 Compact. The combination just didn't work with the subsonic ammo I want to use with a silencer.
