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.

@@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?

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.

Have you heard of this? Do springs wear out after ~300 rounds? is this a unique CGS problem? any advice greatly appreciated.

I currently have your Octane 45HD with the new style low profile 3 lug adapter and love it. I use it all the time on my 300blk pistol (.45 low pro adapter with your 5/8x24 .45 muzzle mount). If the 3 lug geometry is the same, can I use your 9mm 3 lug muzzle device with my .45 adapter I installed in my can? I'm getting different answers from people on this. I'd like to be able to use it on my 9mm Scorpion without having to buy another adapter to install in my can.

@Turbo.M777 4 жыл бұрын

mkivbb No, you can mount the 45 3 lug mount on a 9mm muzzle device, but there will be excessive wobble which increases the risk of a baffle or endcap strike. Also there will be a gap around the muzzle device due to the larger 45 bore in the mount which will make the can loud, and send a lot of gas back at you.
