Keeping a direct thread suppressor tight

5.56RifleGuy · August 5, 2014, 09:57 PM

Hello,
I recently picked up a gemtech multimount 9mm. The 3 lug adapter works great, but it seems like the direct thread pistol mount gets loose super quick and starts to unthread from the gun

Any way to fix this?

Thanks

Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate

that's the easy answer of course

I just put one small drop of blue LocTite on my barrel threads and let it dry before screwing on my can. That keeps my pistol can tight enough that it doesn't unscrew while I'm shooting, but it's also easy to unscrew by hand.
