i was recently at the range with my brother in law he was running xdm elite 9mm and Silencer company omega 9 k. the weapon kept trying to double feed, looked like a stovepipe but it was a live round followed by another elevated half way out of mag. this malfunction would happen 3-4 times a mag. we did try a different mag, same results. we did not take the can off (idk why), but seems like it was too much pressure. anyone have ideas?

Try it without the booster.
i didn’t know that can came with a booster. everything i see online says other wise but honestly idk
A suppressor booster is made to make semi auto pistols cycle correctly.
Only firearms with a fixed barrel shouldn't be run with a booster as this can damage the suppressor.
Is the user actually using a booster or are they just direct threading to the piston?
The booster is internal and you can verify by removing the threaded end cap and see if there's a spring assembly inside.
Like I mentioned above a booster is needed to run a semi auto firearm with a non-fixed barrel so this will most likely be the issue if a booster is not installed.
I'd recommend reaching out to SilencerCo customer service to answer any questions about the supressor so it doesn't get damaged as you know the cost and wait time for a suppressor isn't fast.

It depends on the suppressor.
My buddy’s TiRant, for example, will run fine on some tilt-barrel pistols without the booster.
