Suppressor Science: 3 Lug

Welcome to Suppressor Science! The video series where we explore anything and everything that has to do with suppressors.
EP 01: 3-Lug
There’s no faster way to attach and detach your suppressor than 3-Lug. With a flick of the wrist, you’re ready to go. However, just like with all things in life the 3-Lug system does have its limitations. Sit back and enjoy while we take a deep dive into the world of 3-Lug glory.

[@Starwarsgames66]

@@SilencerCo What about a three lug on a fixed barrel handgun like a Beretta M9? I understand from the video that it doesn’t work on tilt barrel because all that extra weight preventing it from tilting and ejecting and loading a new round. But with a fixed barrel it’s not really an issue because the Beretta. Can you confirm or refute this?

My thoughts exactly, but that's really when I watch almost any gun tube channel. Having any position on the Garand Thumb or Brandon Herrera teams wouldn't be a bad way to live either.

[@freshjnew]

This is the stuff that i appreciate. It brings a bit of realism for newer enthusiasts or people who are new to suppressors. Its not hollywood. There are limitations and catches to everything. I also love when a company cares so much about educating people about the products they sell it shows us that you love it too.

[@alexglenn2122]

Heads up for anyone curious, you can use a 3 lug on certain pistols that don't use the tilting barrel. Couple that instantly come to mind are: 1. Beretta M9a3, or any other M9/92 series with a threaded barrel 2. 1911 with threaded barrel

[@pcblah]

I know it's an old comment, but isn't the 1911 famous for its tilting barrel?

[@maxfanin1792]

I think it drops not necessarily tilts

[@nfaisnfgay]

You have no idea what you’re talking about

[@TnoBambino]

3 lug is a game changer. I have a KP9 converted into a SBR and with the Rugged Obsidian, it will not fit in my case. So much easier to just pop off and twist on instead of screwing it all the way down and off to get in and out of the case. So nice

[@MrMrbrianbechtel]

I have the same suppressor did you have trouble with it unscrewing itself all the time

[@TnoBambino]

@@MrMrbrianbechtel just need to buy the tool to tighten everything up good. Always check it and make sure nothing is becoming too loose after shooting. Mine has became maybe a quarter turn loose after 200 rounds but, I'm not too worried about it. Probably normal. I gave it a good snug down after it cooled off.

[@FC_Jason]

Great video... and expert timing. Was just looking to add a 3 lug to my Octane 9 and CZ Scorpion SBR. Now you just need to get the Lo-pro Adapters back in stock!!!!

[@joshreynolds72]

You beat me to it. My 9k hasn’t come off my Evo since it got out of jail. But I have a gen 1 with those damn 18mm threads, with the adapter it’s just too long.

[@bloodyspirit058]

Thank you for the info on the 3-lug. As a side note, the bolt hold open on ruger mk series .22 pistols shouldn't be used as a bolt release. I had to touch up one on a mk2 target model when it became rounded over from doing just that. Again, great info!

[@Stickyshoez]

@John Williams What the hell are you talking about? Stupid questions deserve stupid answers but SilencerCo actually gave a solid reply to this one that sounds honest instead of blowing smoke up your ass. They don't know when it's going to be released. And even if they did are you dumb enough to think they would announce the release date on some random KZbin comment? lol - How are people this stupid? Also.. what is a "Q"? Did you stroke out while typing?

[@Stickyshoez]

​@josh major Wow Josh, it's not very often that I run into an actual moron on the internet. Most people that act like jackasses are doing it just to be clever. You however, are actually a dumb person. I own 3 SiCo cans, 3 Rugged cans and 1 Dead Air Can with a 4th SiCo can pending. SilencerCo products are easily some of the best on the market. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just a butthurt fanboy of another company. You just look stupid when you make claims that are obviously wrong and anyone who knows anything about suppressors can smell that bullshit a mile away.

@@SilencerCo make it in 45 ACP too

[@bumpa33]

My new cgs mod 9 suppressor appears to have problems with the piston spring...both ends have flaired out somewhat...its hard to assemble and the piston 'gears' do not engage.....so when I attach the suppressor, I can still rotate it by hand (not where you have to pull it out to make point of aim adjustments). Have you heard of this? Do springs wear out after ~300 rounds? is this a unique CGS problem? any advice greatly appreciated.

[@gsyoung54]

The Gemtech's are nice except one has to mark their cans and lug mount because one lug is bigger than the others. It is a positive lock-up but I'm not sure that feature is needed. I've marked and scratched all of mine so I can see or feel them but I'd vote for a more universal or generic type.

You said 5/8 for 300 blackout. But then also say not good to use with centerfire. Is there any down fall to using it on the 300 blackout for hunting short range if you clock it the same every time and slow fire 1 or 2 shots only. One would think there would be almost no heat. I have it for the 9mm carbine and short barrels was thinking of using to for the 300. Just want QD when running in the woods.

Wish ya'll would reply to email questions about parts issues like you do youtube comments. Like what I should do with an ASR Alpha that is the complete opposite of my ASR Bravo mounts. And what to do to detach said ASR Alpha from the detached piston assembly of my Octane. Yes, the piston assembly is out of the Octane. No, I didn't use tools.

If you make one lug bigger than the other two it would always clock the same on each weapon you move it to.

If you put the suppressor on the exact same lugs every time will accuracy be maintained?
