I need to pick either 124gr or 147gr Federal HST ammo (P9HST1 or P9HST2). This isn't the +P stuff, and I'm limited to only one of these two choices. My decision comes down to how reliable the Shield is with the ammo, and maybe factoring which will shoot softer too. I don't know which one will...

PLEASE DELETE

Thanks, I guess I should have been more clear. Do you have a picture showing where the suppressor adapter meets the barrel? SilencerCo said the reason their adapter indexes off the muzzle is because S&W told them that's how it should be done. It'll be interesting to see if that's how S&W made...

Can someone who bought one of the suppressor-ready guns comment on how the suppressor adapter fits? Does it index off the end of the barrel, or is it snug against the shoulder on the barrel? If someone could take a closeup picture of the suppressor adapter attached to the barrel that would be...

withdrawn.

I understand that scrapping the current ones wouldn't make a lot of sense from a business perspective. I wonder if you can't remove the o-ring engagement and sell them as the regular adapters though. In any event, do you have any idea what kind of timeframe it'll be until the updated adapters...

From the email you posted: "I don't have an exact date when the change was made but the change happened to give a better o-ring engagement" From a few posts up: When I use SilencerCo adapters on other guns I don't have to tighten my Sparrow after every 5th shot. That's the whole point of the...

C'mon, do you really not see the burrs in the picture you posted? The picture isn't that high resolution but I can still see burrs at the front and back of the threads on some of those adapters. If you post a higher resolution version of that picture, I'll point out exactly what I'm talking...

I was surprised as well. This is what SilencerCo told me: "We designed the the adapter from the specs that Smith & Wesson provided us; these specs called for the adapter to index off the muzzle of the barrel and not the shoulder." As I said earlier, their adapter would be perfect if it was...

I wish that were true and then I'd just buy the right adapter. But I did buy the one with o-ring engagement. The burrs at the end of the threads still made contact with the o-ring. As annoying as the problems with the EWK adapter were, even more frustrating is that the SilencerCo adapter would...

I did, but since I also had a SilencerCo thread protector, I figured I'd use that since it's nicer and has the o-ring engagement. I don't want to derail the thread. My experience with the EWK adapter wasn't ideal, but maybe I got a bad one or it's better suited for people with more patience...

No, it didn't damage the threads, it put nicks in the o-ring in the SilencerCo thread protector. That's when I realized I needed to clean up the burrs on the external threads. But there were more burrs on the internal threads that stopped it from going further than maybe 3/2rds or so onto the...

I'm thinking about getting the Twin Tech adapter. I asked in another thread, but figure I'll ask here too.. What are your thoughts after using it? Also: - does it index off the front of the barrel, or the shoulder? - are the threads clean, any burrs or anything? - is the o-ring engagement a...

Can you share your thoughts with the Twin Tech adapter? I've been trying to find an adapter for my M&P22 Compact. So far I've tried the: - SilencerCo adapter (indexes on the end of the barrel instead of the shoulder, and tightening it chews up the threads at the muzzle) - EWK adapter (ragged...
