If I were to cut the barrel down to 4", thread it to 1/2x28 and then have a suppressor that screwed onto the threads and fit under the rail. Would it still cycle? Better is it gas regular or gas piston above, like the Olympic Arms OA-93 series?

Michael, no handgun specified Sir. Just re-post with the model or item number. Thanks much!  Probably best to ask the manufacturer on the cycling dynamics with the proposed shorter barrel.
