Suppressor Timing – Quick Guide

What is Timing? 

Timing ensures that the suppressor is properly aligned. Proper timing = best performance and safe alignment. 

Every Revolver Seal suppressor ships with all shims pre-installed, totaling 370°, so perfect timing is always possible. 

Shim System Overview 

Each suppressor includes three shim sizes: 

  • Shim 1 → 10° 

  • Shim 2 → 30° 

  • Shim 3 → 50° 

Shims can be removed or rearranged to achieve perfect timing. 

Step-by-Step Timing Instructions 

Step 1:

Thread the Suppressor On (As Shipped) 

  • Thread the suppressor onto the barrel with all shims installed 

  • Hand-tighten until it stops 

  • Check the final alignment 

Step 2:

Check the Timing 

  • If timing is correct → you’re done 

  • If the suppressor is not aligned, adjustment is needed (as shown in the image)

Step 3:

Adjust Shim Stack 

  • Remove the suppressor from gun 

  • Remove shims to change the angle 

  • Reinstall and check timing again 

Shim values: 

  • Small adjustment → Shim 1 → 10° 

  • Medium adjustment → Shim 2 → 30° 

  • Large adjustment → Shim 3 → 50° 

Step 4:

Fine-Tune 

  • Reinstall on to gun after each adjustment 

  • Repeat until perfectly aligned 

Step 5:

Verify Final Alignment 

  • Suppressor should stop at correct orientation 

  • Do not force past hand-tight 

  • Proper timing achieved ✔️ 

Why This System Works 

  • Ships ready to install 

  • 370° of total shim coverage 

  • Adjustments in 10° increments 

  • No grinding, no guesswork 

Quick Tips 

  • Always test timing as shipped first 

  • Make small changes before large ones 

  • Hand-tight is sufficient for setup and display
