Description
The SilencerCo SN Piston 1/2×28 is an essential component for shooters looking to maximize the versatility of their Osprey or Octane series suppressors. Designed specifically for use with the Glock 43 and Sig Sauer P938, this piston enables reliable semi-automatic cycling while securely attaching your suppressor to the threaded barrel of your host firearm. Whether you’re building out a suppressed pistol setup or expanding your existing suppressor’s compatibility, the SilencerCo SN Piston 1/2×28 delivers the precision engineering and durability you expect from one of the industry’s leading suppressor manufacturers.
Key Specifications
The SilencerCo SN Piston 1/2×28 is machined from 17-4 stainless steel and then heat treated to ensure exceptional strength and long-term reliability under the demanding conditions of suppressed fire. The 1/2×28 thread pitch is standard for many 9mm and smaller caliber pistol barrels, making this piston a versatile addition to your suppressor accessory collection. It is compatible with the full lineup of SilencerCo Osprey and Octane suppressors, giving you the flexibility to run one suppressor across multiple host platforms simply by swapping pistons.

Performance & Ballistics
The piston is a critical element of the Nielsen device (or recoil booster) system found in SilencerCo’s pistol suppressors. This mechanism decouples the mass of the suppressor from the barrel during the cycling process, ensuring that the added weight of the silencer does not interfere with the reliable function of your semi-automatic pistol. Without a properly functioning piston, many tilting-barrel pistols would fail to cycle reliably when suppressed. The SilencerCo SN Piston 1/2×28 is precisely engineered to deliver smooth, consistent operation shot after shot. The heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel construction resists wear and corrosion, maintaining tight tolerances even after thousands of rounds of suppressed fire.
Intended Use
This piston is ideal for concealed carry enthusiasts, home defense practitioners, and recreational shooters who want to run a SilencerCo Osprey or Octane suppressor on their Glock 43 or Sig P938. The SN designation indicates a short and narrow piston profile tailored to these compact pistol platforms. By purchasing additional pistons in different thread pitches, you can transform your single suppressor into a true multi-caliber, multi-host system. This makes the SilencerCo SN Piston 1/2×28 an economical investment that dramatically increases the utility of your existing suppressor without the need to purchase additional cans. Subcaliber shooting is also possible — run smaller caliber rounds through your suppressor by simply swapping the piston to match your host weapon’s barrel threading.
