[SHOT 2023] JK Armament SGX Shotgun Suppressor JK Armament’s New “Do-It-All” 155 G.O.A.T. HF 5.56mm Suppressor [SHOT 2023] Micro 9mm Concealed Carry-able Suppressor JK Armament Solvent Trap + Silencer Shop Form 1 = Fast Suppressors
Booster devices are found on suppressors used on tilting barrel handguns. Most pistols have a barrel that points up slightly after firing, allowing the action to unlock. Adding a weighty silencer to the end of that barrel can throw off the barrel movement and induce failures. A booster assembly puts a spring between the suppressor and the barrel mount, which allows the silencer to move while the barrel moves, thus increasing reliability.
JK advertises the HUB Piston Mount for use with their JK 155 suppressor, and it is a safe bet that it will work with that can. However, because it uses HUB threading, it will be compatible with a host of other suppressors from various manufacturers. However, due to the wide variations in design and weight, it may not work with every compatibly-threaded suppressor.
Models are available with a threaded piston for $225 or without the piston for $129. Head over to JK Armament to pick one up!
From the manufacturer:
“JK Armament’s #1 most-requested accessory is now available! The JK HUB Piston Mount delivers reliable operation of JK 155 suppressors (plus other brands’ pistol suppressors!) on semi-automatic, centerfire pistols. Our booster is lightweight, compact, and competitively priced!By isolating the suppressor from the moving barrel, the JK HUB Piston Mount – available as a full kit HERE or sans piston HERE (for those who already own compatible pistons) – maintains reliable operation of short recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistols such as GLOCKs, SIGs, and nearly every other modern, centerfire pistol.The JK HUB Piston Mount installs in place of your JK 155 suppressor’s taper mount or other mount accessory, threading directly into the base of the serialized suppressor tube with its HUB-standard 1-3/8×24 (1.375×24) thread pitch. This also makes the JK HUB Piston Mount compatible with any other suppressor on the market with HUB threads and enough internal length to accommodate the booster housing (approx 1.8”).”
