[QUOTE="matemike, post: 1008881, member: 78984"] I understand and agree with your point that the screw on types are better at doing their job; suppress noise. But, suppressors need to be removed often. What if you use a suppressor for range and competition use, but your state does not allow a suppressor to be used for hunting? When cleaning your guns barrel the suppressor must be removed so as not to catch solvent and gunk on the baffles. And you also mention the need for extra QD's for multiple guns, indicating a suppressor being used on several guns. Again, off and on and off and on again. Point is that a suppressor must be removed for many situations. Therefore a screw on type can never truly be permanently mounted, thus allowing room for error in it being a temporary attachment. I've seen for myself and heard about several other occasions where a screw on type suppressor started to back off while shooting the gun. This goes unnoticed. It's not until the end of the session, or string of fire that the owner notices a baffle strike. These instances usually occur because the suppressor was recently removed and put back on. Had there been a muzzle brake permanently attached with a QD lockup for the suppressor those baffle strikes would have been avoided. Just my two cents. I'll stick with my QD's and suffer the extra 15 dB's that they allow to get past the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
