I leave mine on when the can is off. That way I don't get burnt powder and gunk all over my threads. Plus it keeps the threads from being damaged if anything were to hit the barrel.

I am a bad egg. I've got three Ops cans. I rarely put the thread collars back on.

If my threaded bbls. don't have a suppressor attached, they have the thread protector attached wether they are installed on the gun or in my safe.
That's why they are called thread protectors. For what a good threaded bbl. costs, it is worth protecting them.

Have you noticed any "backing-off" or looseness in the thread adapter on the barrel after a long shooting session.

No backing off, but if you are concerned, put teflon tape on the threads.

I must be in the minority here, but I own thread protectors for all my threaded barrels and I don't use any of them. I used them in the past, but eventually got lazy and stopped bothering. Now they sit on the top shelf in my safe.
Besides.... why would I shoot my guns that have threaded barrels WITHOUT a suppressor??? That's just crazy talk!!

That's just crazy talk!! shooting with the thread protector on doesn't necessarily mean "WITHOUT a suppressor" while there are 3-lug subguns like my MP5 out there.

It's hard to conceal my P220 when I'm on duty when the can is attached. |
