CZ75 cycling issues with suppressor

Anyone know if the CZ75 or witness clone will need a recoil booster in order to cycle reliably under weight of suppressor? Anyone know thread pitch on a factory threaded 45 witness?

    The variables that determine whether or not a semi-auto will function reliably are the design of the suppressor, the pistol, & the ammo used. I don't know what a recoil booster is. But, tuning is generally done by altering or replacing the recoil spring; that's usually easier than trying to find the load that will work best.

    No matter what, you will need to meet with your local Class III dealer; HE'S the only one who can sell you a suppressor. If he's not a Class III repair facility, & he won't guaranty to make the suppressor he sells you work reliably on your gun, you need to find someone else.

    Another thing to consider is whether or not a suppressor will obscure the sights on your gun, & whether or not that matters to you.

    Thanks Neal, I actually already have several suppressors but none that match the mystery thread pattern on my witness...........Recoil booster is a device installed in-between the suppressor and pistol to aid hard cycling autos, some pistols like the m9 cycle easy and others not so much and need a lot of tuning or a booster............ Witch of these categories the cz falls into is what I don't know...

    I would guess that the Witness barrel is 9/16 x 24. I've seen a thread gauge, but have no idea where you would find one.

    Break out the magnifying glass and count how many "points" are in an inch-the pitch should be NPT standard, no?
