I hadn't seen the "collet type" before, I wonder what it's design purpose is? It still locks into the slide the same way. Maybe tension centering the barrel instead of fit tolerance centering. Any difference with accuracy results?
From what I found scouring the internet the collet bushing improved accuracy and was last used in the early 80s and so was still used on some early series 80 pistols like mine. There were reports of them breaking and the pistol still worked, with the the broken piece moving around inside the gun tearing things up. Might not ever break, or could be round 500 or 5000, but since I want to shoot mine I played it safe and got a solid one.
no still in Memphis, as far as I can tell it never left there... I called and their tracking it down, or at least they're trying... I think..
Isn't it gemtec that sends a new one when your can gets to X weight?? Very interested in a .22 can. Would be even better if it works on 22 mag!!
You can use it on a 22 mag but I haven't seen any subsonic 22 mag ammo. My Dead Air Mask is rated for 22 lr, 22 mag, 17 hm2 and 17 hmr. It is rated for full auto. If the ammo isn't subsonic, you still get the "Crack" sound of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. You need to keep the rounds below 1100 fps to be subsonic. I use CCI standard velocity ammo which is rated at 1070 fps and it works great.
