The Advantages of Direct Thread Suppressors

In this video we're going over the three main reasons to consider using a direct thread suppressor system. If you don't need the convenience of a fast attach mount interface, using a direct thread adapter makes the whole package shorter, lighter, and simplifies tuning the gun.
You don't have to do it but you might wanna.

[@Johnathan.F]

Perfect. Damn. Timing. Literally just got my first suppressor after a seven month wait and decided to direct-thread due to cost and weight savings.

[@hkfifty871]

For me it was partly cost (I don’t have much desire to buy additional muzzle devices for each different firearm I may want to suppress), partly a reluctance to be locked in to one specific muzzle device without knowing what I’ll think of it if/when I decide to shoot unsuppressed, and partly the worry that years down the road the suppressor industry will start chasing some other “latest and greatest” attachment method rendering mine obsolete and impossible to find replacements for. Direct thread ain’t fancy, but it’s cheap, it works, and it will basically always be an option for whatever firearm I may want to put my can on, and that makes it a winner for me.

I like having the taper or even an extra locking piece to prevent the can from walking off, mainly just because of my own neurotic concerns than any evidence so far that would happen. It's more of a peace of mind thing but I guess since the time investment isn't so intense now due to reduced waiting periods even that is less of a problem.

Good food for thought. For me, blast baffle erosion on my 10.3 is somewhat of a concern, having a brake to act as a sacrificial baffle is appealing, despite the added weight. Yes form 4s are clearing in days now but replacing a suppressor is still a not insignificant extra expense. As for transport, I don't care about making the gun super compact, I care about a hot can melting the foam in my case, being able to use a hi-temp suppressor pouch to remove and store the can after a range trip is very nice.

Rocksett / Red Loctite E638. If 1 drop is applied, you can still remove it even without heating. Had my silencer literally melt from overheating (had to legally dispose of it) - but the red loctite held! (silencer was hard to remove, not loose, stayed tight) It was at a rifle match, and I the fool was using a dural/titanium silencer not meant for rapid fire (name was Jaki 1, made in finland). It actually lasted 3-4 matches before the side of it just balooned out (no explosion, but metal changed color and the side was "inflated" like it was about to burst).

Direct thread with wrench flats is by far the best budget mounting system. The wrench flats allow you to torque it to a point where the idea of it walking loose, even on a belt fed machine, is literally a joke.

The funniest thing about this is Hop got me thinking “I really need a quick detach system for rifles X and Y to use can Z.” Up to now I’ve been using direct thread only, partly because of potential tolerance stacking and partly because of weight/length/cost concerns. I don’t need fast swap capability; however, with a .30 caliber can there’s a good argument for some form of muzzle device on each of those rifles when they *don’t* have the can attached. And “NO” I am not buying a dedicated can for every freedom dispenser no matter how short the wait time is today.

You can have a 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 nut machined to lock your direct thread can in place better. thread the nut all the way onto the barrel, thread your suppressor on over it and then back the nut up so that it tightens against the suppressor.

[@guyandagun]

My first can was a Gemtech Trek II. Not because Hop had one but because it was the cheapest can in the store and I predominately shot 5.56 at the time. I distinctly recall being very happy with how it sounded on my 11.5 with an Odin Works adjustable gas block. Noticeably quieter to the shooter than my buddies YHM Resonator K and they are similar in dimensions overall. That is a .30 cal can but…from that moment I actually was a big fan of direct thread. Our guns were very similarly configured but mine was quieter and less expensive. Since then I also grabbed a resonator K that moves between my 6 arc and 6 creed, and it’s nice…but my DeadAir Wolfman stays as a direct thread item on my GHM-9 because it is also noticeably quieter and lighter, even in K configuration, then it is with a KeyMo adapter.

Cat clips at the end is why we watch this

12.5" with a p+w direct thread suppressor 🤩

All of these videos just continue to prove to me that I'm too inept for a suppressor :pepedent:

Honestly, sometimes it's better that way. Some guns and calibers just aren't great host or all that quiet. If you picked one of those without research, you would have been let down and wasted a ton of money. I only did one to be .22 specific. Check out my short. It was worth $$325 in taxes and a can.

At the moment, my DDC enticer Ti L and Ti S are running DT mounts, but they are dedicated to two rifles. Eventually i am going to send my old GA m4sd2 to Ecco machine up have it converted to hub mounts, and run the plan b mounts from readen. If I could go it over again I would have held off from buying the m4sd2 and Recce 7, do more research, and got something with hub threads instead. Thankfully Ecco machine is around.
