Quoted:
Do you use any type of thread treatment before you put your suppressor on such as any type of loctite, teflon tape etc? Do you have any issues with it coming loose? I am debating on whether to get a three lug adapter or not. I've never had a problem with direct thread centerfire rifle cans coming loose. I think people make it out to be a bigger issue than it actually is. Pistol cans are a different story. All my pistol cans seem to work loose after a few mags. |

My center fire thread on cans will all come loose when shooting in full auto or doing mag dumps.
That being said the only two I've done that with are a trek and an HVT. For handguns MOST of the time flicking the wrist for the last quarter turn to get it to be a little extra tight seems to help 99% of the time with the pistol cans loosening. |

I can't afford full auto, so that may be why I don't have any issues.

I use teflon tape and it holds fairly well for a range session

Ive had one work loose on my bolt gun, but I'm pretty sure that since I didn't get it on tight. on a full auto(sadly don't own) it might be an issue.

I just hand tighten or check it about every 10-30 shots or so.

Thanks for the info everyone. Seems that the 3 lug might not be the necessity that I had build up in my mind.
One less thing to worry about and one less part to buy. |

Personally I only buy direct thread suppressors. But I have a suppressor for every gun I own. I just don't have a need for qd suppressors. |

Yes mine comes loose after 3-5 shots no matter how hard i hand tighten. I use Rocksett and have no issues with it coming off even with full auto fire. It is pretty hard to removed but its not like i do that often, usually a major repair or upgrade to the firearm. I clean the threads before reapplying the Rocksett.
A lot of people dont like direct thread suppressors but if you have the money for a dedicated suppressor and want the shortest lightest suppressor possible its the way to go. Oh and look into titanium, its a big weight reduction. Quoted:

This works for bench rest or other slow rate of fire shooting but not for anything remotely tactical. I dont want to have to check my suppressor half way though a mag or even every mag, not to mention the thought of touching it when it several hundred degrees. |

I am going to look into rocksett on my 5.56 and 300 blackout cans. Do you have any issues cleaning with the suppressor attached? I normally clean my barrels with a bore snake. |

All my pistol cans seem to work loose after a few mags. there's a lot more jerking/jarring going on with a pistol. my rifle barely moves if i'm prone behind the gun with a rear bag. i've never had a problem with my direct thread. i leave it on the gun permanently too. it's the ultimate muzzle brake and i'm not going back to a traditional brake ever again. |
