The top of the outer barrel itself jammed on those 3 rings inside the slide, I believe it was one of the matching rings on the outer barrel that hooked onto the one on the slide resulting in it needing a lot of force to move forward, it was only after much, much troubleshooting and hair pulling I thought to push the suppressor in, and that let the slide go free each time.
My gun worked great when I just took the suppressor off of it, and it's still working fantastically now that I've taken it all back to stock, I could have kept the longer inner barrel but that looks stupid without a suppressor.
This is the same kit used in the SOCOM Gear 1911 MEU's which are just the WE's, but they come with a gemtec outback suppressor, so I'd probably do that, as I mentioned doing a quick swap would be nice, but being able to do it on the cheap for now would be nice too lol.

I did consider a TM/KJW conversion but apparently even the slide alone was a couple hundred dollars so I figured I would just have the extra to spend on quality parts to use in the WE frame and slide. The main thing I wanted, and will want from future airsoft guns is the closest to the real deal possible, that means if I get a glock I would want one with a metal slide and polymer body, and the WE SCAR H looks pretty nice, apparently it has really good kick, AEG's don't really have any appeal to me even if they are cheaper to run and work in cold temps.
It's going to be quite tempting to stick to real world capacity magazines as well, though if I am going with just my pistol as I likely would have to unless I rented a gun, that would be less than ideal lol.
As for the threading issue I could just use some blue threadlocker, if I get a reply to my WTB post for a gemtech outback (blackside is also recommended but the outback is smaller in length and width so will be much lighter) I'll probably give it a shot since I'll need the thing anyways.
The suppressor I have is only 66 grams, it's surprising that such a small weight can throw it off so much but it is also a 7 inch long one so it does have a lot more leverage than a 5 inch long one would have. I also am hoping someone can weigh their outback suppressor for me but haven't had any luck so far.
