Couple of quick questions, I've heard there are things called boosters (?) that you need to use to make sure the slide reciprocates. Does a Beretta 92 need one?

Secondly, if I use a suppressor, will it affect reliability or parts longevity after I stop using one?

Thirdly, I hear conflicting reports on wheather or not you need to actually clean a suppressor. Some come apart, others are machined that way somehow.

Lastly, I've been doing a little bit of digging, but is there a huge difference in sound suppression qualities between brand types or is the cost difference more a reflection of the quality of the components?
