If everything goes red and you wake up on the floor, that was too tight.

Quoted:
So I am new to the suppressor game, and I have an AAC Ti- Rant 45 that I use on my MARK 23. The directions say to tighten until it is hand tight. How tight do a I need to make it? Hand tight is pretty subjective. Roughly 8nm of torque for a very strong person with very good grip (think motorcycle riders, mechanics, etc.) and around 5-7nm for the normal fit, male populace. |

Hand-tight is a term meaning one hand-pound of force. Vs. One foot-pound. Get it? Hand-pound?

I think of it as the same force as you'd use to open most pickle jars, only tightening. As the Germans say, "guttentite".
Best of luck, and I sure hope you don't ever have a launch event. MHO, YMMV, etc. |

Use a finger and your thumb to tighten it down. If it pops when trying to remove it it was tight enough
