Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main ways to attach a suppressor to a firearm?

The four primary methods are direct thread, where the suppressor screws directly onto the barrel; taper mount, which uses a specific muzzle device; QD (Quick Detach) mounts for fast attachment; and tri-lug adapters, common on sub-guns.

How does a direct thread suppressor attach?

Direct thread attachment involves screwing the suppressor directly onto the threaded muzzle of the firearm's barrel. A common thread pitch for AR-15s is 1/2x28.

What is a QD (Quick Detach) suppressor mount?

A QD mount allows for quick and easy attachment and detachment of a suppressor. Systems like Dead Air's KeyMo require only a few turns to lock the suppressor onto a compatible muzzle device.

What is the advantage of a tri-lug adapter for suppressors?

Tri-lug adapters are popular for sub-guns and PCCs because they offer a very fast attachment method. It involves a simple push-and-turn motion to secure the suppressor onto the three lugs of the muzzle device.
