Elevating Your Suppressed Shooting Experience: The CGS Fixed Barrel Spacer for Kraken, MOD9, and Nautilus Suppressors

For firearm enthusiasts seeking to optimize their suppressed shooting setup, understanding the nuances of suppressor accessories is paramount. Among the most critical components for certain firearm configurations is the fixed barrel spacer. This specialized accessory ensures the flawless operation and longevity of your suppressor, particularly when paired with specific CGS Suppressors like the Kraken, MOD9, and Nautilus models. Designed with precision and crafted from robust steel, the CGSKRKFIXEDBBL Fixed Barrel Spacer (UPC: 850002123197) is an indispensable item for anyone utilizing a suppressor on a fixed-barrel firearm.

What is a Fixed Barrel Spacer and Why is it Essential?

The world of firearm suppressors involves intricate mechanics, especially when adapting them to various firearm platforms. One of the most common applications for pistol suppressors is on handguns with "tilting" or "recoiling" barrels. These barrels move slightly backward and then tilt downward during the firing cycle to unlock from the slide. To accommodate this movement and ensure reliable cycling, most pistol suppressors incorporate a booster assembly, often referred to as a Nielsen device. This booster allows the suppressor to move independently of the barrel, preventing interference with the firearm's recoil mechanism and ensuring consistent operation.

However, not all firearms operate with a tilting barrel. Many popular firearms, including pistol caliber carbines (PCCs), certain fixed-barrel pistols (like those derived from blowback designs), and rifle-caliber firearms, feature a barrel that remains static during the firing sequence. If you attempt to use a suppressor equipped with a booster assembly on a fixed-barrel firearm, the booster will attempt to facilitate movement that isn't required and, in fact, will actively interfere with the firearm's operation. This can lead to:

• Malfunctions: The firearm may not cycle properly, leading to failures to feed, extract, or eject.
• Damage: Excessive stress can be placed on the suppressor, the firearm, or both, potentially causing premature wear, baffle strikes, or even catastrophic failure.
• Unreliable Performance: Inconsistent point of impact, reduced accuracy, and overall diminished shooting experience.

This is precisely where the CGS Fixed Barrel Spacer comes into play. Instead of allowing the suppressor to recoil via a booster, the fixed barrel spacer replaces the booster assembly. It ensures a direct, rigid connection between the suppressor and the fixed barrel. By doing so, it effectively "locks out" the booster's reciprocating function, making the suppressor behave like a direct-thread device, which is the correct configuration for fixed-barrel applications.

Who Needs the CGS Fixed Barrel Spacer?

This CGS accessory is specifically designed for discerning shooters who own CGS Suppressors such as the Kraken, MOD9, or Nautilus and intend to use them on firearms with non-tilting barrels.

• Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) Owners: If you have a 9mm PCC (e.g., AR-9, MP5 clone, CZ Scorpion, etc.) and you want to suppress it with your CGS Kraken, MOD9, or Nautilus, this spacer is absolutely essential. Most PCCs operate on a direct blowback system with a fixed barrel, necessitating the use of a fixed barrel spacer for proper suppressor function.
• Fixed-Barrel Pistol Users: Certain pistol designs, particularly those with a fixed barrel (like some .22LR pistols, or specific 9mm blowback designs), will also require this spacer for optimal suppressed performance.
• Anyone Prioritizing Reliability and Safety: If you value the integrity of your firearm and suppressor, and demand consistent, reliable performance every time you pull the trigger, investing in the correct interface for your setup is non-negotiable.

Choosing the right components ensures that your valuable suppressor operates as intended, providing maximum sound reduction and enhancing your shooting sessions without compromise.
