Hard to even come up with an accurate thread title for this one. It's a mutant, but I want to get a suppressor. 9mm seems to be the way to go for the quietest centerfire pistol cartridge. However, I don't own a 9mm handgun. I do, however, own a Glock 23 with a 357 Sig barrel. I also reload for 357 Sig, which means I can make custom loads. I know I am going to need a suppressor with a recoil booster for a Glock. I don't want to put a threaded 9mm conversion barrel in a glock 23 because the extractor becomes unrealiable (or so I have read).
My first question is, would a 9mm suppressor fit on a threaded 357 Sig barrel?
My second question is does the glock 23 use the same recoil spring as the Glock 19?
Third question is would I need to switch to a faster burning powder to get 357 Sig down to subsonic 9mm velocities? Can I just use 9mm load data and powders and get the same result or is the different O.A.L. going to mess that data up?
Lastly, would a 357 Sig cartridge moving the bullet at the same speed as a subsonic 9mm be the same DB level as the 9mm?
Any input is much appreciated.
