What's your favorite adapters for suppressors?

I like my ASR adapters. They ensure a tight and secure connection. However, in many situations, the hand guards make it impossible to use them, favoring tri-lug ones. What are your favorite adapters for suppressors?

Xeno and Plan B (but not the Q Cherry Bomb)

Taper mount in front of the threads keeps the threads nice and clean, free of carbon locking. They're also super lightweight and and keep the overall length short.

The left hand thread of the Xeno would make it my outright favorite, but only a few companies offer Xeno accessories so you don't get as many options as Plan B.

Very cool. I've never heard of it before. Many thanks for sharing.

You're not using a HK style 3 lug with rifle calibers are you?

I use ASRs, mainly because the adaptors were already on the cans when I received them. I've had some carbon lock issues, but nothing insurmountable, merely annoying.

I hear good things about they keymo setups, but I haven't tried one - it's a fair bit of coin to swap over.

ASR or direct thread.

A2 GateLok… being I have quite a few A2s.

After that, direct thread or 3-lug. Well, I have a Angstadt Vanquish… so is integral an option?

Mine are direct thread.

Pick up whatever thread adapters I think might need when I get the can. I’m not swapping cans/rifles in the heat of battle, the 20 seconds it takes to unscrew the can isn’t a big deal for me. And, it’s cheaper (one 1/2”x28, one 9/16, one 5/8” fits all my rifles for my big suppressor) for me to do, than buy a quick change style for each rifle.
