With all the choices, which is the best adapter to go with? SilencerCo, EWK, the one from silencer shop? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks ETA: I will be using a Spectre II |

I thought Ruger only made an an adapter for the Ruger SR22 pistol. It has some funky threading on the barrel.
To the OP: what suppressor do you have. Will it benefit from the O-ring engagement? That should narrow it down for you. Derp... Just saw its a Spectre II...anything with an o-ring engagement...it works. |

How does the Twin Tech adapter attach? Are there wrench flats that I just can't see in their product photo? Quoted:

Twin Tech, with o-ring specs. They match the SiCo specs better than SiCo's own adapters...which have never matched their specs.  How does the Twin Tech adapter attach? Are there wrench flats that I just can't see in their product photo? Sorry...must've hit Edit instead of Quote when I tried to reply the first time... Yep. You can see them in these two pics, and also see where it has the thread relief that the specs call for where the two SiCo adapter don't.

Yeah, I've brought it up to Silencerco in January and got the "thanks for your concern. we were unaware of this and it will be passed on to R&D" e-mail. I tried following up month later (after SHOT) but got no response. One of the few times I've been disappointed with Silencerco CS. |

Only thing I have is it causes an issue with my fake suppressor on my AR57 since I'm running a SiCo 1/2-28 x 1/2-28 adapter when shooting unsuppressed (6" barrel under the monolithic upper) |

I ran into the same problem with my HTA Kestrel 22. |

If it was a bolt where I could screw a nut on ahead of time to spin off and "recut" the threads (or at least clean them up) as I removed it, I'd already have attempted it. I rarely shoot without the suppressor, so it's not too big of a deal. |

Quoted:
I have both the Silencerco and EWK adaptors. I won't use the Silencerco one because it indexes on the end of the muzzle. Leaves a gap between the threads. I emailed them and so far no response. Which suppressor? Unless it's a Ryder, it's probably not indexing on the muzzle - but rather sitting on the "not-thread-relieved" portion of the adapter. |

| I'll try to find some links and maybe post a pic when I get a chance. Best way to describe it is that the sico adaptor "bottoms out" on the end of the muzzle before it makes contact with the shoulder on the barrel. Not the best way to do it. They need to adjust their specs. |

Just a heads up....Academy has the 10 round Compact mags on clearance for $16. Also, does anyone know if the Twin Tech adapter comes with a thread protector? In store? The website still shows $32 Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Yes, in store. 2 stores in Houston had them marked down from $39.99 to $15.98 I believe. |

The best thread adapter is the S&W M&P OEM thread adapter, the rest suck, save your money. We'll just have to disagree on that. SiCo and twin tech were both a no go for me, at least Smith includes a wrench that actually works with theirs.... When I have to get pliers to take a damn thread adapter off their is a problem, just saying. |
