www.griffinarmament.com Thanks ... got any links to that info?Jay @ PEW Science has talked about this extensively over his podcast over the last couple months. Based upon his comments and those of his listeners, I'm holding out for the EZ-LOK system:
Muzzle Devices - EZ-LOK™ - Griffin Armament
OMG ... this is excruciating. 5-minutes of actual information crammed into a little over an hour. Even when I get to the right part ... it's more theatrics than information. Listening to the right section now ... might stick a pen in my neck to end the madness before I figure out if he's ever actually tried it ...
My specific questions were ... (a) Does it work? and (b) Do you like it?
Yes it works. Yes I like it.
Gift from the gods.....I am using this and love it! No more checking the can every few shots, easy on and easy off. Only down side is that it make it harder to pull the barrel during cleaning on a gun like Glock but you really don't need to pull the barrel if you know what you are doing.Looking for a quick-connect suppressor mount for my LWRCI SMG-45 using my SC Hybrid-46, and my usual "go-to" of a Tri-Lug won't work because it's got a reciprocating barrel. Griffin makes a system called "CAM-LOK" (2 parts - Adaptor and Piston) that's similar (but different), and I wondered if anyone here has used it, and what were your experiences.
Take my word, if it comes loose you are doing something wrong. You are going to love it!
I do worry a teeensy bit about torqueing the barrel to the 20 ft/lbs on the adaptor with the barrel in the un-broken-down configuration, and injuring any tolerances inside the gun barrel connection points ... but 20 ft/lbs isn't huge, and I'm guessing it's not a big deal removing and installing the adapter for cleaning. No way to clean the SMG-45 without removing that barrel adapter. Hummm ... maybe this is the "Shooting Gods" telling me I'm cleaning too often.

Thanks for sharing !!!
(1) I use a Tri-Lug Adapter on fixed barrels like on my MPX ... works great.
If you expect to get everything you want ... you picked the wrong hobby.

On my Glock I’m able to tilt the barrel out enough to grab the flats with my padded vice.
So here's my review ... it's AWESOME. Mounted the adapter to 20 ft/lbs of torque, and installed the piston in my SC Hybrid-46 and headed to the range to shoot my LWRCI SMG-45. Put on the suppressor and fired a round. No suppressor movement. Fired a few more ... same result. Dumped a 25-round mag ... solidly engaged. Went through 100 rounds (4 mags) and the Cam Lok system worked flawlessly where on a direct thread mount I would have had to tighten every 4-to-5 rounds. I'm a believer now ... problem solved. Ordering another barrel mount for my Sig P220 Legion to share that suppressor.

I need help understanding.
Faster, more secure attachment. Pistols are generally holstered- they were designed for practical defensive applications. So deploying a pistol with a suppressor generally means drawing the pistol and attaching the suppressor- that can take 11-13 seconds. The Cam Lok can do that faster than the EZ lok system. It can do it almost immediately. This was an informal Tier one military unit request, that we develop a system to allow a suppressor to be deployed more rapidly on a pistol so that people doing low profile intel gathering in foreign countries could have greater operational safety. It wasn't designed for people going to the range and shooting 100-200 rounds through a pistol in one session. It did permit something to happen that was never before possible. The rapid attachment of the booster equipped pistol suppressor. It also greatly enhanced the security of attachment, taking the system from needing to be check tightened every 3-4 rounds, to a point where 2-3 magazines could be fired with the suppressor remaining secure. Consumers however will do their thing and suggest nothing improved, because one thing they want it to be, isn't what it is, when everything about the prior art system did improve.
