Texas Guns Suppressor Reference Center
Suppressor Mounting & Compatibility Guide
Match your suppressor to the correct firearm, caliber, barrel thread, muzzle device, adapter, and mounting system. This guide is being built as a comprehensive reference for suppressor owners, first-time buyers, and shooters setting up multiple hosts.
Start With the Basics
How Suppressor Mounting Works
A suppressor setup is a system. Before selecting an adapter or muzzle device, you need to identify four things: the firearm, the barrel, the mounting interface, and the suppressor.
Firearm & Caliber
Start with the host firearm, caliber, action type, and barrel length. A 9mm handgun and a 9mm PCC may use completely different mounting methods even though they fire the same cartridge.
Barrel Thread
Identify the actual barrel thread such as 1/2x28, 5/8x24, M13.5x1 LH, or another thread pattern. Thread pitch alone does not establish caliber compatibility.
Mounting System
Determine whether the setup will use direct thread, piston and booster, 3-lug, KeyMo, Xeno, Plan B, Griffin Plan A, B&T Rotex, or another mounting ecosystem.
Suppressor Interface
Finally, confirm which rear interface the suppressor accepts. Examples include HUB, Dead Air P-Series, proprietary mounting systems, and manufacturer-specific adapters.
Typical Quick-Detach Suppressor Setup
Compatibility Requires More Than Matching Threads
Always verify the cartridge, bore diameter, barrel thread, barrel length, suppressor rating, suppressor-side adapter, and barrel-mounted muzzle device before firing. Two accessories can share the same thread pitch and still be incompatible because of bore diameter or mounting-system differences.
Before Choosing a Mount
Fixed Barrel vs. Moving Barrel
One of the first questions to answer is whether the barrel remains stationary during firing or moves as part of the firearm's operating cycle. This can completely change the mounting components required between the firearm and suppressor.
Moving / Recoil-Operated Barrel
Common on semiautomatic handguns
Most modern semiautomatic pistols use a barrel that moves during the firing cycle. Browning-style tilting-barrel pistols are the most common example.
Adding the weight of a suppressor directly to this type of barrel can interfere with normal cycling. These applications commonly use a booster, Nielsen device, piston, and spring designed for the suppressor.
Fixed Barrel
Common on PCCs, rifles, and many rimfire firearms
A fixed barrel does not need a spring-loaded booster to compensate for barrel movement. Common examples include many 9mm PCCs, MP5-pattern firearms, AR-platform rifles, bolt-action rifles, lever guns, and many rimfire firearms.
Depending on the suppressor, a fixed-barrel host may use direct thread, 3-lug, a fixed mount, a fixed-barrel spacer, or a rifle-style quick-detach mounting system.
Don't Decide Based on Caliber Alone
A 9mm handgun and a 9mm PCC can use the same ammunition while requiring completely different mounting hardware. The firearm's operating system matters just as much as the caliber and barrel thread.
Match by Cartridge
Suppressor Caliber Compatibility Guide
The bullet fitting through the bore is only the first requirement. A suppressor must also be rated for the cartridge's pressure and muzzle energy, the firearm's barrel length and firing schedule, and the mounting system being used. Use this section to identify the suppressor class you should be looking at before choosing a specific model or mount.
Technical data verified August 2026. Manufacturer examples below use current Dead Air and B&T information already covered in this guide. This is a selection guide, not permission to fire an unlisted cartridge. The suppressor manufacturer's current rating always controls.
Bore Size Comes First
The projectile must have adequate clearance through the suppressor, muzzle device and front cap. A smaller projectile can sometimes be fired through a larger-bore suppressor when the manufacturer rates that suppressor for the cartridge.
Pressure Still Matters
A 9mm suppressor may physically clear a .300 Blackout bullet, but that does not automatically make it safe for .300 Blackout. Construction, muzzle energy and the manufacturer's cartridge rating still control.
Host Configuration Matters
Barrel length, action type, rate of fire and mounting method can change the approved configuration. Always verify the complete host rather than choosing a suppressor from caliber name alone.
| Cartridge Family | Typical Suppressor Class | Common Host | Typical Mounting | Key Fitment Question |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .22 LR / .22 WMR / .17 HMR / 5.7 | Rimfire / 5.7-rated | Rimfire pistol, rifle, 5.7 pistol/PCC | Usually direct thread | Is the suppressor specifically rated for the higher-pressure rimfire / 5.7 cartridge? |
| 9mm | 9mm pistol / PCC | Handgun, PCC, MP5-type | Booster, 3-lug, direct thread, QD | Moving-barrel handgun or fixed-barrel PCC? |
| .45 ACP | .45 pistol / big-bore | Handgun, PCC | Booster or fixed-barrel mount | Does the suppressor have a .45-class bore and the correct piston/mount? |
| 5.56 / .223 | 5.56 or .30-cal rifle | AR-15 / SBR | QD or direct thread | Is the can rated for the barrel length and firing schedule? |
| 6mm ARC | 6mm or larger rifle | AR-15 / bolt rifle | QD or direct thread | Is the suppressor explicitly rated for 6mm ARC and the host barrel length? |
| .300 Blackout | .30-cal rifle or specifically rated 9mm can | AR / bolt rifle | QD or direct thread | Subsonic or supersonic? The rating can differ. |
| 7.62x39 | .30-cal rifle | AK / AR / bolt rifle | QD, direct thread, AK-specific | Are the threads and bore concentric? |
| .308 / 7.62 NATO / 6.5 Creedmoor | .30-cal rifle | AR-10 / bolt rifle | QD or direct thread | Does the can cover the cartridge's energy and intended firing schedule? |
| .38 Special / .357 Magnum | 9mm/.357 or larger | Lever rifle, revolver-type specialty host | Usually fixed barrel | Is the suppressor rated for .357 Magnum pressure, not just 9mm bore size? |
| .44 Magnum | .45-class / big-bore | Lever rifle | Fixed barrel / direct thread | Does the manufacturer specify barrel-length restrictions? |
| 8.6 Blackout / .338 | .338-class / big-bore | AR-10 / bolt rifle | QD or direct thread | 8.6 BLK and .338 magnums are not automatically the same pressure class. |
| .45-70 / .458 | .458-class big-bore | Lever rifle / large-bore AR | Direct thread or large-bore QD | Does the muzzle device itself have enough bore clearance? |
Can a Larger-Bore Suppressor Be Used on a Smaller Cartridge?
Often yes — but only when the manufacturer rates the suppressor for that cartridge and host. The larger bore gives projectile clearance; it does not automatically provide adequate pressure or heat capacity.
Rimfire / Small Bore
.22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR & 5.7x28
What to Look For
For ordinary .22 LR, use a dedicated rimfire suppressor whenever possible. Rimfire ammunition deposits substantial fouling, so user-serviceability can be important.
Do not assume every .22 LR suppressor is rated for .22 Magnum, .17 HMR or 5.7x28.
Current Dead Air Examples
Dead Air's Mask and RXD22Ti are current rimfire options. Dead Air's fitment materials list the RXD22Ti through 5.7x28 with platform/ammunition caveats.
Texas Guns Tip
If the customer mentions 5.7x28, stop treating the request as an ordinary .22 LR sale and verify the exact suppressor's 5.7 rating.
Pistol / PCC
9mm
Handgun
Most Browning-style semiautomatic pistols need a booster and piston matched to the barrel thread. Do not use the spring-loaded booster configuration on a fixed-barrel PCC.
PCC / Subgun
Fixed-barrel 9mm hosts commonly use 3-lug, direct thread, KeyMicro, Plan B or another fixed-barrel QD system.
Examples Already Covered in This Guide
Texas Guns Tip
Ask “handgun or PCC?” before asking which 9mm suppressor the customer wants. That one answer usually determines the mounting path.
Large-Bore Pistol
.45 ACP
Why .45 Is Different
A 9mm suppressor cannot be used with .45 ACP. Use a .45-class suppressor and the correct booster/piston or fixed-barrel hardware.
Multi-Caliber Possibility
Many .45-class suppressors can also be used with smaller pistol calibers when the manufacturer approves the cartridge and the correct mounting hardware is installed.
Dead Air Examples
High-Pressure Rifle
5.56 NATO / .223 Remington
Dedicated 5.56 vs .30-Cal
A dedicated 5.56 suppressor can offer a smaller bore and purpose-built performance. A manufacturer-rated .30-cal suppressor can add versatility across 5.56 and larger .30-cal hosts.
Short-Barrel Use
Short 5.56 barrels create extreme pressure, heat and blast. Verify barrel restrictions and firing-schedule limitations before treating a suppressor as an SBR can.
Current Examples
Texas Guns Tip
For a hard-use short 5.56 rifle, prioritize a suppressor specifically engineered for rifle pressure and the customer's gas/backpressure goals rather than choosing solely by sound reduction.
Small-Bore Rifle
6mm ARC
Do Not Treat 6mm ARC as 5.56
The projectile is larger than 5.56. A 5.56-bore suppressor or front cap may not provide adequate clearance. Use a suppressor explicitly rated for 6mm ARC or a larger compatible bore.
Dead Air Example
Dead Air's Lazarus 6 is a 6mm-bore rifle suppressor and the current fitment guide identifies 6mm ARC among its intended applications.
Subsonic / Supersonic Rifle
.300 Blackout
Subsonic
.300 BLK subsonic is one of the most suppressor-friendly centerfire applications because the projectile avoids the supersonic crack. Many multi-caliber cans are optimized around it.
Supersonic
Supersonic .300 BLK produces substantially greater muzzle energy. A can rated only for subsonic .300 BLK must not be assumed safe with supersonic ammunition.
Examples in the Current Guide
AK / .30-Cal Rifle
7.62x39
AR / Bolt Host
On a conventional concentric threaded barrel, 7.62x39 generally follows normal .30-cal rifle suppressor selection and mounting rules.
AK Host
AK-pattern firearms deserve an alignment check because thread concentricity can vary. Dead Air's Wolverine exists specifically to address common AK mounting challenges.
Texas Guns Tip
For an AK, identify the exact muzzle thread and check alignment before ordering the suppressor mount. “7.62x39” alone does not tell us which AK adapter the customer needs.
Full-Power Rifle
.308 Win / 7.62 NATO & 6.5 Creedmoor
.308 / 7.62 NATO
Use a full-power rifle suppressor rated for .308-class pressure and the intended host. Bolt guns can favor lighter direct-thread systems; semiautomatics may benefit from a QD and lower-backpressure design.
6.5 Creedmoor
A .30-cal suppressor can commonly be used on 6.5 Creedmoor when rated by the manufacturer. A caliber-specific 6.5 front cap can sometimes improve suppression, but it must be changed before firing larger .30-cal projectiles.
Examples
Lever Gun / Pistol Bore
.38 Special / .357 Magnum
.38 Special
Subsonic .38 Special from a threaded lever rifle can be an excellent suppressor host when the suppressor is rated for the cartridge and fixed-barrel application.
.357 Magnum
Do not equate .357 Magnum with 9mm simply because projectile diameter is similar. Magnum pressure and muzzle energy require an explicit .357 Magnum rating.
Dead Air Examples
Large-Bore Lever Gun
.44 Magnum
Choose for Pressure, Not Just Diameter
.44 Magnum needs a suppressor with sufficient bore and an explicit pressure/barrel-length rating. A .45 pistol suppressor is not automatically a .44 Magnum lever-gun suppressor.
Dead Air Example
Dead Air's Mojave 45 fitment material allows .44 Magnum lever-action use with a 16-inch barrel. The Primal is another large-bore rifle-oriented option.
Large Bore / High Energy
8.6 Blackout & .338-Class
8.6 Blackout
8.6 BLK uses a .338-class projectile but can be optimized around relatively short barrels and subsonic ammunition. Use a suppressor specifically rated for 8.6 BLK.
.338 Magnum
.338 Lapua and similar magnum cartridges are a different energy class. A suppressor rated for 8.6 BLK is not automatically rated for .338 Lapua Magnum.
Current Examples
Big-Bore Rifle
.45-70 Government / .458 SOCOM & Similar
Bore Clearance Is the First Check
These cartridges require a true large-bore suppressor and a muzzle device with sufficient internal diameter. A .30-cal or 9mm muzzle device cannot be used merely because its barrel thread happens to match.
Thread Pitch Varies
.45-70 lever rifles and .458-class ARs can use several barrel thread standards. We will cover the common thread pitches in the Barrel Thread Guide next.
Dead Air Example
Texas Guns Tip
On big-bore rifles, verify three numbers before selling anything: projectile diameter, barrel thread and muzzle-device bore.
Caliber Compatibility Is a Manufacturer Rating — Not a Guess
Never approve a cartridge simply because the projectile physically fits through the suppressor. Confirm the exact suppressor model, cartridge, ammunition type where relevant, barrel length, firing schedule and mounting hardware in the current manufacturer documentation.
Barrel-Side Fitment
Suppressor Barrel Thread & Muzzle-Device Guide
Barrel thread identifies how a mount attaches to the firearm. It does not identify the caliber, bore diameter, suppressor mounting ecosystem, or whether the barrel shoulder is appropriate for that device. Match the thread first — then verify every other fitment dimension.
Technical data verified August 2026. Thread examples below use current manufacturer documentation and the Dead Air fitment data already referenced throughout this guide. Firearm manufacturers can use different thread pitches on different generations, barrel lengths, calibers and markets. Verify the actual barrel before ordering.
Rule #1
Thread Pitch ≠ Caliber
The same barrel thread can be used with muzzle devices having completely different bores. A 1/2x28 device may be intended for 5.56, 6mm, .30-cal or 9mm depending on the product.
Rule #2
Shoulder / Indexing Matters
Suppressor mounts must seat against the surface they were designed to index from. Square-shoulder, taper-shoulder, face-mount and platform-specific arrangements are not automatically interchangeable.
Rule #3
Verify Alignment
The barrel thread, adapter and muzzle device must hold the suppressor concentric to the bore. AKs, thread adapters and unusual barrel shoulders deserve particular attention.
How to Read Barrel Thread Notation
1/2" = nominal major diameter of the threaded section.
28 = 28 threads per inch.
This notation does not tell you the projectile diameter or muzzle-device bore.
M13.5 = approximately 13.5 mm major thread diameter.
x1 = 1 mm thread pitch.
LH = left-hand thread direction.
| Thread | Commonly Encountered On | Possible Bore Classes | Dead Air Examples | Important Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2x28 | Many 5.56 rifles, rimfire barrels, U.S.-thread 9mm pistols/PCCs | .22, 6mm, .30, 9mm depending on device | DA301 .22-bore KeyMo FH; DA109 9mm-bore KeyMicro brake; DA123 .30-bore Xeno Omni Brake | Never assume a 1/2x28 rifle device will pass a 9mm projectile. |
| 1/2x36 | Some 9mm PCC / AR9 barrels | Usually 9mm-class | DA110 KeyMicro Brake; DA411 P-Series fixed mount | Less common than 1/2x28 on many newer U.S. PCC barrels. |
| 5/8x24 | .300 BLK, .308 / 7.62, 6.5 CM, many larger-bore rifle barrels | .30, 9mm, .45 / .458 depending on device | DA302 .30-bore KeyMo FH; DA116 9mm-bore KeyMicro FH; DA161 .458-bore KeyMo 46 brake | 5/8x24 does not automatically mean .30-cal. |
| .578x28 | Common .45 ACP threaded pistol barrels | .45-class | DA405 P-Series piston; DA450 P-Series fixed mount; DA160 KeyMo 46 brake | Verify the actual host and application. |
| 9/16x24 | Specialty rifle / lever / FAL variants depending on RH or LH | 9mm through .40/.45 depending on device | DA143 9mm-bore Xeno Xero; DA307/DA308 FAL KeyMo variants | Direction matters: RH and LH are different threads. |
| M13.5x1 LH | Many European-pattern 9mm pistol barrels | Usually 9mm-class | DA402 piston; DA414 fixed mount; DA117 KeyMicro FH | Metric, left-hand. Do not confuse with 1/2x28. |
| M14x1 LH / RH | Common AK-family and other metric rifle applications | Usually .30-cal class on 7.62 rifles | DA303 M14x1 LH KeyMo FH; Wolverine inserts | AK alignment and shoulder geometry require extra verification. |
| M15x1 | Some European rifle platforms | Often .30-cal | DA304 KeyMo flash hider | Verify the exact platform and barrel shoulder. |
| M18x1 / M18x1.5 | Precision / hunting rifle barrels and specialty hosts | .30 through .338-class depending on device | DA104 M18x1 .338 KeyMo brake; LT311 M18x1 direct-thread HUB mount | M18x1 and M18x1.5 are not interchangeable. |
| 11/16x24 | Some large-bore lever and rifle barrels | .45 / .458-class | DA163 KeyMo 46 brake; DA147 .45-bore Xeno Xero; LT313 HUB direct mount | Projectile clearance still controls. |
| 5/8x32 | Some large-bore rifle applications | .45 / .458-class | DA162 KeyMo 46 brake; DA146 .45-bore Xeno Xero | Do not substitute a 5/8x24 device. |
| 3/4x24 / 3/4x20 | Large-bore / high-energy specialty rifles | .338 and larger depending on device | DA103 3/4x24 .338 KeyMo brake; LT303 3/4x24 / LT306 3/4x20 HUB mounts | Verify both pitch and bore. |
Very Common U.S. Thread
1/2x28
Why 1/2x28 Causes Confusion
It is widely used on both small-bore rifles and 9mm firearms. A muzzle device can screw onto the barrel perfectly and still have an internal bore too small for the projectile.
Dead Air Makes the Point Clearly
DA301 is a .22-bore KeyMo flash hider, DA123 is a .30-bore Xeno Omni Brake, and DA109 is a 9mm-bore KeyMicro brake — all 1/2x28.
PCC / AR9
1/2x36
Where You'll See It
1/2x36 has historically been common on AR-pattern 9mm barrels and remains in use on some PCCs.
Dead Air Parts
Dead Air lists DA110 as a 1/2x36 9mm-bore KeyMicro brake and DA411 as a 1/2x36 P-Series fixed mount.
Common Centerfire Rifle Thread
5/8x24
Common Rifle Use
5/8x24 is one of the most common U.S. threads for .30-caliber centerfire rifles and is widely used on .300 Blackout, .308-class and 6.5 Creedmoor barrels.
But Bore Still Varies
Dead Air lists DA302 as a .30-bore 5/8x24 KeyMo flash hider, DA116 as a 9mm-bore 5/8x24 KeyMicro flash hider, and DA161 as a .458-bore 5/8x24 KeyMo 46 brake.
Large-Bore Pistol
.578x28
Typical Use
.578x28 is a common U.S. thread for threaded .45 ACP pistol barrels and is also used on some large-bore fixed-barrel applications.
Dead Air Examples
DA405 is a .45-bore P-Series piston, DA450 is a .45-bore P-Series fixed mount, and DA160 is a .458-bore KeyMo 46 muzzle brake — all in .578x28.
Specialty Rifle / Lever / FAL
9/16x24
Direction Matters
9/16x24 can appear in right-hand and left-hand forms. A 9/16x24 RH device will not fit a 9/16x24 LH barrel.
Dead Air Examples
Dead Air lists DA143 as a 9/16x24 RH 9mm-bore Xeno Xero, while DA307 and DA308 are KeyMo flash hiders for metric/inch FAL applications using opposite thread directions.
Metric Pistol Thread
M13.5x1 LH
Typical Use
Common on various European-style 9mm pistol barrels and some factory metric-thread handgun barrels.
Dead Air Examples
DA402 P-Series piston, DA414 P-Series fixed mount, DA117 KeyMicro flash hider and PB441 Mojave piston are M13.5x1 LH 9mm-bore examples.
AK / Eastern Bloc Threads
M14, M24, M26 & Other AK Patterns
There Is No Single “AK Thread”
AK-family firearms use multiple muzzle-thread patterns depending on country, caliber, model and front-sight / gas-block configuration.
Examples include M14x1 LH, 24 mm patterns, 26 mm patterns and other variants.
Why the Wolverine Exists
Dead Air's Wolverine uses replaceable thread inserts and collars for numerous AK-family threads rather than expecting one universal barrel adapter.
Dead Air also instructs users to check barrel concentricity on Wolverine configurations.
AK Rule: Identify the Exact Rifle Before Selling the Mount
Record the firearm model, caliber and actual muzzle thread, then verify alignment. Do not sell an adapter solely from “AK” or “7.62x39.”
Precision / Hunting Rifle
M18x1 & M18x1.5
M18x1
Used on various precision, hunting and specialty rifle barrels. Dead Air lists M18x1 in both HUB direct-thread and high-energy KeyMo/Xemax mounting families.
M18x1.5
A different pitch. Dead Air lists separate M18x1.5 components, including AI-specific HUB and high-energy muzzle-device options. Do not interchange them with M18x1.
Large Bore / Lever Gun
11/16x24, 5/8x32, 3/4x24 & Other Large-Bore Threads
Large-Bore Threads Vary
.45-70, .458-class rifles and large-bore hunting rifles are not all threaded alike. 11/16x24, 5/8x32, 5/8x24, 3/4x24 and other patterns can appear depending on barrel and manufacturer.
Dead Air Big-Bore Examples
Dead Air offers .458-bore KeyMo 46 and Xeno/Xemax devices across several of these thread pitches for Primal-class applications.
Never Use Thread Pitch as a Shortcut for Big-Bore Fitment
A 5/8x24 muzzle device can physically fit a .45-caliber barrel and still contain a .30-caliber bore. Always verify device bore before firing.
Shoulder Geometry
SIG Taper Barrels
Same Thread, Different Shoulder
A SIG taper barrel can use a familiar pitch such as 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 while using a tapered shoulder rather than a conventional square shoulder.
The muzzle device must be designed for that indexing geometry or use an approved conversion method.
Dead Air Examples
Dead Air separately catalogs SIG-taper-specific muzzle devices such as DA119 1/2x28 SIG Taper and DA120 5/8x24 SIG Taper. It also lists LT315 as a 5/8x24 SIG Taper HUB direct mount.
Thread Pitch Is Only Half the Barrel-Side Fitment
The muzzle device also needs a repeatable surface to index against. That surface helps determine whether the device seats square to the bore.
Don't Know Your Barrel Thread?
Bring It to Texas Guns If You're Unsure
If the firearm's thread is unknown, modified, adapted or unusual, do not order a muzzle device by appearance. Identify the host, thread pattern and suppressor system before selecting parts.
Final Thread Rule: Match Thread + Bore + Shoulder + Mounting System
Correct barrel thread is necessary, but it is not sufficient. Before firing, verify the thread pitch, muzzle-device bore, indexing surface, suppressor mounting ecosystem, cartridge rating and alignment of the complete system.

What Do I Need for My Suppressor Setup?
Start with the firearm and work toward the suppressor. These examples show the parts normally involved in common configurations. They are intended to help identify the correct mounting path — not replace the manufacturer instructions for a specific firearm or suppressor.
Setup data verified August 2026. Dead Air examples use current manufacturer fitment and owner-manual information. B&T examples follow the mounting families covered in the B&T section of this guide. Always verify the actual barrel thread, muzzle-device bore, cartridge rating and suppressor model before installation.
Choose the Host Type
The same suppressor can require completely different hardware depending on whether it is being installed on a handgun, PCC, AR, bolt gun, lever gun or AK.

Alternative when the host and thread geometry support a conventional mounting system
This route should only be used when the barrel threads, shoulder geometry and bore alignment are suitable for the selected mounting system.
Counter Shortcut: Ask These Four Questions
What firearm is it? What caliber is it? What is the actual barrel thread? Which suppressor are you trying to mount? Once those four answers are known, the barrel-side device and suppressor-side adapter can usually be identified without guessing.
These Are Setup Examples — Verify the Actual Firearm
Barrel threads can vary by model and generation. Muzzle-device bore, shoulder geometry, suppressor rating, barrel-length limits and blast-chamber clearance must all be verified before firing.
Suppressor Mounting Systems
The Four Mounting Methods to Understand First
Manufacturers use many proprietary names, but understanding these four basic mounting methods makes the more advanced systems much easier to understand. Later in this guide we will cover KeyMo, KeyMicro, Xeno, Plan B, Griffin Plan A, B&T systems, HUB adapters, and other manufacturer-specific options.
Mounting Method
Direct Thread
Direct thread is the simplest suppressor mounting method. The suppressor or its direct-thread adapter screws directly onto the firearm's threaded barrel.
Common applications: bolt-action rifles, dedicated suppressed rifles, rimfire firearms, PCCs, and other fixed-barrel hosts.
Direct thread eliminates a separate barrel-mounted QD muzzle device, which can make the setup simple and compact.
Handgun Mounting
Piston & Booster
A booster, also called a Nielsen device or linear decoupler, allows the suppressor to temporarily move independently from the pistol barrel during the firing cycle.
The piston determines the barrel thread. For example, a suppressor may use one piston for a 1/2x28 barrel and another for M13.5x1 LH.
This setup is commonly used on Browning-style recoil-operated semiautomatic handguns.
Fixed Barrel Application
Fixed Barrel Spacer
Some pistol suppressor booster assemblies can also be used on fixed-barrel firearms by installing the suppressor manufacturer's compatible fixed-barrel spacer.
The spacer prevents the booster assembly from operating like the spring-loaded system used on a recoil-operated pistol.
Common applications: PCCs and other fixed-barrel hosts when the particular suppressor manufacturer supports this configuration.
PCC / Subgun Mounting
3-Lug
The 3-lug system is a fast attachment method commonly associated with MP5-pattern firearms and 9mm PCCs. Three locking lugs on the barrel or barrel adapter engage a spring-loaded suppressor-side 3-lug mount.
A firearm without factory 3-lug geometry can sometimes use a threaded barrel-side 3-lug adapter. The suppressor must then have the correct suppressor-side 3-lug mount.
Those are two different components, and both must be compatible with the firearm, caliber, and suppressor.
Barrel Side and Suppressor Side Are Two Different Questions
When choosing a mounting system, identify the component attached to the barrel and the component installed in the suppressor. A compatible barrel thread does not automatically mean the suppressor-side mount is compatible.
Common Suppressor Rear Interface
What Does HUB Mean?
HUB is the commonly used name for the 1.375x24 rear suppressor mounting interface, also frequently called Bravo. A HUB-compatible suppressor can accept a variety of suppressor-side adapters that use this same rear thread pattern.
Think of HUB as the Socket on the Suppressor
HUB describes the rear interface of the suppressor. It does not tell you what barrel thread you have, what caliber you are firing, or which muzzle device is installed on the firearm.
What HUB Tells You
The suppressor accepts a 1.375x24 rear mounting adapter when the suppressor manufacturer specifies that model as HUB compatible.
What HUB Does Not Tell You
HUB does not determine barrel thread, muzzle-device bore, cartridge rating, barrel-length restriction, or internal blast-chamber clearance.
Why HUB Matters
A HUB suppressor may allow the owner to select from multiple mounting ecosystems instead of being permanently tied to one manufacturer-specific attachment system.
One HUB Suppressor May Accept Different Mounting Systems
HUB Compatible Does Not Mean Everything Fits Everything
The rear adapter may physically thread into a HUB suppressor while the complete system is still unsuitable. Always verify muzzle-device length, blast-chamber clearance, bore diameter, caliber rating, barrel length, firearm configuration, and manufacturer instructions before use.
Quick-Detach Ecosystems
Understanding the Major Mounting Systems
A mounting ecosystem normally has two sides: a muzzle device attached to the firearm and an adapter installed in the suppressor. The two components must use the same mounting interface even when the suppressor itself uses a common HUB rear thread.
Q / Aftermarket Ecosystem
Plan B
Plan B refers to the taper-mount system associated with Q and the Q Cherry Bomb. A suppressor-side Plan B adapter connects the suppressor to a compatible barrel-mounted muzzle device.
Barrel side: Q Cherry Bomb or another manufacturer-verified Plan B-pattern muzzle device.
Suppressor side: the Plan B adapter must match the suppressor's rear interface. HUB, Dead Air P-Series, Alpha, Charlie, and other suppressor interfaces require different adapters.
Rearden and Comstock Armory manufacture extensive families of Plan B-compatible adapters and muzzle devices.
Griffin Armament
Plan A / Taper Mount
Griffin Armament's Plan A system allows compatible suppressors to use Griffin Taper Mount muzzle devices. The Plan A adapter installs in the suppressor while the corresponding Griffin Taper Mount device installs on the firearm.
Griffin offers a 1.375x24 HUB Plan A adapter for HUB-compatible suppressors as well as other Plan A adapters for specific suppressor interfaces.
Griffin also offers a dedicated Plan A adapter for certain Dead Air P-Series suppressors, including the Wolfman family.
Dead Air
KeyMo
KeyMo is Dead Air's quick-detach rifle mounting system. A KeyMo adapter installs in the suppressor and locks onto a compatible KeyMo or appropriately compatible KeyMicro muzzle device installed on the firearm.
The current Dead Air DA428 KeyMo Adapter uses the HUB rear interface and allows HUB-compatible suppressors to use the KeyMo mounting ecosystem.
Dead Air
KeyMicro
KeyMicro uses the same basic mounting technology as KeyMo in a more compact package designed around suppressors with smaller blast chambers and pistol-caliber applications.
Dead Air's DA451 is the P-Series KeyMicro adapter used with compatible suppressors such as the Wolfman and other supported P-Series models.
Some full-size KeyMo muzzle devices can interface with KeyMicro, but physical fit depends on the suppressor's blast-chamber depth.
Dead Air
Xeno
Xeno is Dead Air's threaded taper mounting system. The suppressor adapter engages a matching Xeno muzzle device using a tapered interface and left-hand attachment threads between the muzzle device and suppressor adapter.
Dead Air offers Xeno adapters for more than one suppressor rear interface. The DA455 is the HUB version, while the DA457 provides a P-Series Xeno interface for supported Dead Air suppressors.
| Mounting System | Suppressor-Side Component | Barrel-Side Component | Important Distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan B | Plan B-compatible adapter matched to suppressor | Q Cherry Bomb or verified Plan B-compatible muzzle device | Adapter thread must match the suppressor rear interface. |
| Griffin Plan A | Plan A adapter matched to suppressor | Griffin Taper Mount muzzle device | Plan A is not interchangeable with Plan B. |
| Dead Air KeyMo | KeyMo adapter | KeyMo / compatible KeyMicro muzzle device | DA428 is the common HUB KeyMo adapter. |
| Dead Air KeyMicro | KeyMicro adapter | KeyMicro muzzle device | Blast-chamber clearance matters with longer KeyMo devices. |
| Dead Air Xeno | Xeno adapter | Xeno muzzle device | Available in HUB and supported P-Series configurations. |
The Adapter Determines the Mounting Ecosystem
A HUB suppressor does not become a Plan B, Plan A, KeyMo, or Xeno suppressor until the corresponding suppressor-side adapter is installed. Once that adapter is installed, the barrel-mounted muzzle device must match that same ecosystem.
Never Mix Mounting Systems Because the Parts Look Similar
Plan A, Plan B, Xeno, KeyMo, KeyMicro, 3-lug, and other mounting systems use different geometry and locking methods. Only combine components specifically identified as compatible by their manufacturers.
B&T Suppressor Mounting
Understanding B&T Mounting Systems
B&T uses several different suppressor mounting systems depending on the suppressor generation and firearm application. Current U.S. products include HUB-based rifle systems, 3-lug SMG suppressors, boosted handgun suppressors, and proprietary platform-specific suppressors. Older and military-oriented B&T literature also uses QDR, QDM, QDN, and DM mounting terminology.
Rifle / HUB
Current SRBS-family rifle suppressors use the standard HUB rear interface and can be configured with B&T's Rotex-SF HUB mount or other compatible HUB mounting solutions.
SMG / 3-Lug
B&T's current SMG-M and SQD-style 9mm suppressors are designed around in-spec 9mm 3-lug barrels commonly found on APC9, SPC9, GHM9, and MP5-pattern firearms.
Handgun / Impuls
B&T's Impuls handgun suppressors use a spring booster system for recoil-operated pistol barrels. The piston or Impuls device must match the handgun's barrel thread.
Platform Specific
Some B&T suppressors use proprietary attachment systems. The TP9 / MP9 suppressor is a major example and should not be confused with a standard MP5-pattern 9mm 3-lug mount.
Current B&T Rifle Mounting
Rotex-SF HUB
B&T's current SRBS-family suppressors are HUB compatible and commonly ship with B&T's Rotex-SF HUB assembly. This gives the suppressor a standard 1.375x24 rear interface while allowing the installed Rotex-SF mount to attach to supported rifle muzzle devices.
B&T states that the Rotex-SF HUB assembly is compatible with B&T Rotex flash hiders, WarComp hybrid muzzle devices, and SureFire SOCOM flash hiders and muzzle brakes.
Because the suppressor itself is HUB compatible, the Rotex-SF assembly can be removed and replaced with another appropriate 1.375x24 HUB mount when the suppressor manufacturer permits that configuration.
Important: Rotex-SF compatibility with specified SureFire SOCOM muzzle devices does not make B&T and SureFire suppressor bodies or locking mechanisms universally interchangeable. Treat the Rotex-SF HUB as its own suppressor-side mounting assembly.
SMG / PCC
SQD / RQD 3-Lug
B&T's 9mm SMG suppressor family uses rapid 3-lug attachment systems for firearms with an in-spec 9mm tri-lug barrel.
Common host examples include B&T APC9, SPC9, GHM9, and HK MP5-pattern firearms with standard in-spec 9mm tri-lug barrels.
B&T's newer SMG-M-9 is also HUB-interface compatible, allowing its included rapid 3-lug assembly to be exchanged for another appropriate 9mm HUB mounting solution.
Handgun
Impuls Booster System
The B&T Impuls system is intended for recoil-operated handgun barrels and incorporates a spring booster to allow the pistol to cycle with the suppressor installed.
Current 9mm Impuls models commonly ship with a 1/2x28 Impuls booster. B&T also lists M13.5x1 LH and other barrel-thread options as accessories for supported models.
The thread of the piston / Impuls device must match the actual handgun barrel thread.
Platform Specific
TP9 / MP9 QD
The TP9 / MP9 uses a proprietary B&T suppressor attachment geometry. The firearm's barrel shroud serves as a large tri-lug-style mounting interface for the dedicated TP9 / MP9 suppressor.
Do not assume a suppressor designed for a standard MP5-pattern 9mm 3-lug will fit the TP9 / MP9 interface.
Direct Mount / Dedicated Hosts
Direct Mount
B&T also produces suppressors and mounting configurations that attach directly to the firearm's barrel or are designed around a dedicated host.
B&T documentation commonly abbreviates this configuration as DM. Always verify the exact barrel thread and suppressor model before ordering.
B&T Rifle Mount Abbreviations You May Encounter
B&T's rifle-suppressor manuals use several mounting abbreviations. These are important when identifying older suppressors, military configurations, imported models, or replacement mounts.
I Have a SureFire SOCOM Muzzle Device
A current B&T SRBS equipped with the appropriate Rotex-SF HUB may be able to mount to compatible SureFire SOCOM flash hiders and muzzle brakes.
Verify the exact B&T suppressor, Rotex-SF mount, and muzzle device before purchase.
I Have an MP5 / APC9 / SPC9 / GHM9
For a standard in-spec 9mm tri-lug host, B&T's SQD / RQD 3-lug suppressor systems are the natural B&T mounting family to evaluate.
If the firearm also has exposed barrel threads, direct-thread or another compatible mounting system may be possible depending on the suppressor.
I Have a TP9
Stop and verify the suppressor before ordering. The TP9 / MP9 uses its own proprietary suppressor interface and is not the same as a normal MP5-style 9mm 3-lug host.
I Have a HUB B&T Suppressor
First identify the current adapter installed in the suppressor. A HUB B&T can may be configured with Rotex-SF or another compatible HUB mounting system, but the barrel-side muzzle device must match the adapter actually installed.

Verified Texas Guns Live Catalog Match
The B&T XH-762 is currently matched directly to the Texas Guns catalog by MPN SD-145963 and UPC 840225722895. The finder will now show a green View Exact Product at Texas Guns button whenever this exact suppressor appears in a compatible setup result.
Texas Guns B&T Buying / Fitment Shortcut
For current retail customers, first decide which B&T family they are actually in: Impuls handgun, SMG-M tri-lug, HUB rifle, VERS36 multi-caliber, precision / hunting, or platform-specific SD / TP9. Once the family is identified, the mounting path becomes much easier to determine. Older Rotex / SRBS / QDR / QDN / QDM terminology remains important because many guns and suppressors already in circulation use those systems.
B&T Uses More Than One Type of 3-Lug
Do not use the phrase "B&T 3-lug" as though it identifies one universal interface. Standard 9mm PCC tri-lug systems and the proprietary TP9 / MP9 attachment are different applications. Verify the host firearm and suppressor model before selecting parts.
Major Suppressor Ecosystems
HUXWRX, SilencerCo & Rugged Mounting Guide
After Dead Air and B&T, these are the other major ecosystems Texas Guns expects customers to encounter most often. HUXWRX uses its proprietary QD system on FLOW rifle suppressors and HUB on VENTUM/newer modular products; SilencerCo uses Alpha, Bravo/HUB and Charlie rear interfaces; Rugged combines proprietary Dual Taper Lock with HUB adapters. SureFire remains below as a compatibility reference for customers who already own SOCOM muzzle devices.
Technical data verified August 2026. This section uses current manufacturer manuals, product information and mounting-system documentation. Model lineups and accessory availability can change. Verify the manufacturer's current instructions before installation.
The Most Important Cross-Brand Rule
A suppressor may be compatible with another company's muzzle-device ecosystem only when a verified suppressor-side adapter creates that interface. For example, a HUB suppressor can use a Rugged R.U.M., HUXWRX HUB-QD, SilencerCo Bravo ASR or SureFire Fast-Attach HUB adapter when that suppressor and adapter combination is approved.
HUXWRX Safety Co.
FLOW QD, HUB-QD & VENTUM
HUXWRX uses a proprietary left-hand QD muzzle-device interface on FLOW rifle suppressors. VENTUM is HUB-compatible and can use several approved third-party HUB mounts. FLOW 9k Ti brings HUB modularity into the pistol / PCC side.
FLOW 556K / FLOW 556 Ti / FLOW 762 Ti
HUXWRX's FLOW rifle manual states that FLOW suppressors require a HUXWRX QD muzzle device.
The suppressor threads counter-clockwise onto the taper/QD muzzle device and uses HUXWRX's Torque Lock principle to stay seated.
VENTUM 556 / 762 — HUB
VENTUM is the flexible HUXWRX route for users who want traditional HUB mounting options.
HUXWRX's current manual specifically lists HUXWRX HUB-QD, Q Plan-B, SilencerCo ASR Bravo, Rugged R.U.M., Dead Air Xeno and Dead Air KeyMo as approved VENTUM HUB mounts.
HUXWRX HUB-QD Adapter 2.0 — SKU 3486
The current HUB-QD Adapter 2.0 installs into a 1.375x24 HUB suppressor and allows it to use HUXWRX / OSS QD muzzle devices.
Current verified UPC: 810176430064. This is the bridge for VENTUM and other approved HUB cans that want to join the HUXWRX rifle QD ecosystem.
FLOW 9k Ti
The current FLOW 9k Ti ships with a 1/2x28 booster assembly and HUB Piston Adapter.
HUXWRX lists 3-lug, HUB, Stiction Lock and direct-thread options as supported accessory paths.
| Model / Family | Rear / Mount Architecture | Common Mounting Path | Fitment Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLOW 556 / 556K | Integral HUXWRX QD | HUXWRX 5.56 QD muzzle device | Do not order a generic HUB adapter for an integral FLOW rifle rear. |
| FLOW 762 Ti | Integral HUXWRX QD | HUXWRX 7.62 QD muzzle device | .30-cal FLOW rifle route; verify the exact cartridge rating. |
| VENTUM 556 / 762 | HUB-compatible | Direct thread, HUB-QD, approved third-party HUB mount | One of the most cross-compatible HUXWRX mounting platforms. |
| FLOW 9k Ti | HUB-based pistol architecture | Booster/piston, 3-lug, direct thread, HUB QD / Stiction options | Moving-barrel handgun still needs the booster/piston configuration. |
| FLOW Range 36 Ti | HUB-QD-equipped multi-caliber architecture | HUXWRX HUB-QD + QD muzzle device | Current 2026 multi-caliber FLOW family; verify cartridge and accessory chart. |

HUXWRX QD Rule
FLOW rifle suppressors use HUXWRX's dedicated QD / Torque Lock interface. VENTUM is different: it is HUB-compatible, and HUXWRX currently approves HUB-QD, Q Plan-B, SilencerCo ASR Bravo, Rugged R.U.M., Dead Air Xeno and Dead Air KeyMo for VENTUM. The word “QD” by itself never establishes cross-brand compatibility.
Current Texas Guns HUXWRX Catalog Match
Texas Guns currently has verified product pages for the HUX FLOW 45 M in both FDE and black. The FDE page is MPN 3800, UPC 810176430460. These direct catalog records are maintained separately from the compatibility selector until the exact current FLOW 45 M mounting accessory chart is fully verified.
SilencerCo
Alpha, Bravo / HUB & Charlie
SilencerCo separates the suppressor's rear mount size from the mounting method. ASR, direct thread, 3-lug and piston systems are available in different rear-interface families.
Alpha — Spectre / Pistol-Class
SilencerCo's current mount guide identifies Alpha as 1.125x28. It supports direct thread, 3-lug, pistons and Alpha ASR.
Current examples include the Spectre series and other pistol/PCC-oriented SilencerCo products.
Bravo — HUB 1.375x24
Bravo is the SilencerCo name for the rear thread the industry now commonly calls HUB.
Current Bravo examples include Omega 300, Hybrid 46 and Scythe-series rifle suppressors.
Charlie — 1.375x32
Charlie is a SilencerCo-specific hard-use rear interface using a tapered insert / retaining geometry rather than ordinary HUB.
Current examples include Velos LBP, Omega 36M, Hybrid 46M, Chimera 300 and Saker-family suppressors.
ASR — Muzzle Device + Locking Collar
ASR uses a compatible SilencerCo ASR flash hider or muzzle brake on the barrel and an Alpha, Bravo or Charlie ASR mount in the can.
ASR is the mounting type; Alpha / Bravo / Charlie are the suppressor-side mount sizes.
| Model / Family | Rear Interface | Common Mounting Paths | Texas Guns Fitment Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spectre 9 | Alpha 1.125x28 | Piston, Alpha direct thread, Alpha ASR, 3-lug | Moving-barrel pistol = piston; PCC = fixed mount or 3-lug. |
| Omega 300 | Bravo / HUB 1.375x24 | Bravo direct thread, Bravo ASR, compatible HUB aftermarket mounts | Excellent example of Bravo and HUB meaning the same rear thread. |
| Scythe-Ti / Scythe STM | Bravo / HUB 1.375x24 | Direct thread, Bravo ASR and other verified HUB mounts | SilencerCo documents both models as Bravo-ASR compatible. |
| Velos LBP | Charlie 1.375x32 | Charlie ASR, Charlie direct thread, other Charlie accessories | Do not order a standard HUB adapter for a Charlie rear interface. |
| Omega 36M / Hybrid 46M | Charlie 1.375x32 | Charlie ASR, direct thread, piston / 3-lug with appropriate Charlie hardware | Highly versatile but still requires Charlie-specific suppressor-side components. |
SilencerCo Naming Trap
Do not confuse Bravo/HUB 1.375x24 with Charlie 1.375x32. The diameters sound similar, but the thread pitches and mounting geometry are different.
| SilencerCo Accessory | MPN / SKU | UPC | Rear / Barrel Interface | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|

SilencerCo Interface Rule
Alpha, Bravo and Charlie describe the suppressor's rear mount size. ASR, direct thread, piston and 3-lug describe how the suppressor attaches to the host. Always choose the mount type only after identifying the correct Alpha / Bravo / Charlie rear interface.
Texas Guns SilencerCo Shortcut
If the customer says Spectre / Omega 9K, think Alpha. If they say Omega 300 / Scythe, think Bravo / HUB. If they say Velos / Omega 36M / Hybrid 46M, think Charlie. Only after identifying that rear family do we choose ASR, direct thread, piston or 3-lug.
Rugged Suppressors
Dual Taper Lock, R.U.M., RU3 & Obsidian Mounts
Rugged's rifle ecosystem centers on Dual Taper Lock. HUB suppressors can enter that ecosystem through the Rugged Universal Mount (R.U.M.), while the RU3 gives a HUB 9mm suppressor a direct HK-spec 3-lug interface.
Obsidian 9 / 45
The Obsidian family uses a booster and piston on moving-barrel handguns. Fixed barrels use a fixed barrel spacer, fixed mount, 3-lug or Obsidian Dual Taper mount as appropriate.
Rugged specifically warns against running the spring-loaded booster configuration on a fixed-barrel PCC.
R.U.M. — Rugged Universal Mount
The R.U.M. threads into a 1.375x24 HUB suppressor and allows that suppressor to use Rugged's Dual Taper muzzle devices.
Alaskan360 and newer Rugged HUB rifle suppressors use this modular rear architecture.
RU3 — HUB 3-Lug
Rugged's RU3 threads directly into a 1.375x24 HUB 9mm suppressor and locks onto an HK-spec 9mm 3-lug.
Rugged identifies Alaskan360 and Sub9 as examples of appropriate HUB 9mm suppressors.
Integral Dual Taper Rifle Cans
Traditional Rugged rifle suppressors such as Razor / Radiant-era Dual Taper models use Rugged's built-in rifle mounting system rather than a removable HUB rear socket.
Newer HUB models can use R.U.M. or other manufacturer-approved HUB adapters.
| Suppressor / Family | Interface | Common Paths | Important Distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Obsidian9 / Obsidian45 | Rugged pistol mount family | Piston, fixed spacer, fixed mount, 3-lug, Obsidian Dual Taper | Booster spring for moving barrels only. |
| Alaskan360 | HUB 1.375x24 | R.U.M., direct thread, RU3, Universal Cage + pistol mounts | Rugged says a Universal Cage + piston is needed for handgun use. |
| Sub9 / other 9mm HUB cans | HUB 1.375x24 | RU3, Universal Cage, compatible HUB mounts | RU3 is for handgun / straight-wall 3-lug applications, not traditional rifle cartridges. |
| SurgeX / Axial-class HUB rifle cans | HUB 1.375x24 | R.U.M. Dual Taper or other approved HUB mounts | R.U.M. can be removed to expose the universal rear thread. |
Rugged 3-Lug Trap
The traditional Rugged 9mm 3-Lug Mount is for Obsidian-family suppressors. The RU3 is the direct HUB 1.375x24 3-lug mount. They solve a similar problem but install into different suppressor rear interfaces.
| Rugged Accessory | MPN / SKU | UPC | Interface / Thread | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rugged Universal Mount — Titanium | RUM002 | 850044499021 | HUB 1.375x24 → Rugged Dual Taper | Alaskan360 / compatible HUB rifle suppressors into Rugged Dual Taper Lock. |
| Rugged Universal Mount — Stainless | RUM001 | 850044499298 | HUB 1.375x24 → Rugged Dual Taper | Stainless-steel R.U.M. option for compatible HUB suppressors. |
| Rugged Universal 3 Lug Mount | RU3 | 850044499366 | HUB 1.375x24 → HK-spec 9mm 3-lug | Sub9, Alaskan360 and other 9mm-rated HUB suppressors. |
| Universal Cage | CAGE002 | 850044499038 | HUB 1.375x24 → Obsidian pistol-mount family | Allows HUB cans such as Alaskan360 to use pistons, Obsidian 3-lug mounts and fixed mounts. |

| R3 Flash Hider | Verify exact current thread-specific SKU | Verify exact current UPC | Rugged Dual Taper muzzle device | Flash-hider option for the Dual Taper rifle ecosystem. |
Rugged Mounting Rule
Obsidian mounts and HUB mounts are not the same rear interface. The traditional 9mm 3-Lug Mount OA001 installs into Obsidian-family suppressors. The RU3 installs directly into a 1.375x24 HUB suppressor. If a HUB can needs to use Obsidian pistol accessories, the bridge is the Universal Cage CAGE002.
Texas Guns Rugged Shortcut
Obsidian9 / Obsidian45 use Rugged's pistol-mount family. Sub9 / Alaskan360 use HUB 1.375x24. For a HUB can on Rugged rifle QD, use R.U.M.. For a HUB 9mm can on HK-spec 3-lug, use RU3. For a HUB can that needs Obsidian pistons / fixed mounts / traditional Obsidian 3-lug hardware, use the Universal Cage.
SureFire — Compatibility Reference
SOCOM Fast-Attach & Fast-Attach HUB
Texas Guns keeps SureFire on this page primarily as an interoperability reference because customers frequently already own SOCOM muzzle devices. Native SOCOM suppressors use the proprietary Fast-Attach system, while SureFire Fast-Attach HUB adapters let compatible HUB cans use supported SOCOM muzzle devices.
SOCOM556-RC3 / RC2 / MINI2
These suppressors attach directly to compatible SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach muzzle devices.
SureFire specifically documents RC3 backward compatibility with existing SOCOM Fast-Attach muzzle devices.
SOCOM300-SPS / SOCOM762-RC2
The .30-cal / 7.62 SOCOM family follows the same Fast-Attach concept with the appropriate compatible SureFire muzzle device.
Always match the muzzle-device bore, thread and suppressor caliber family rather than assuming every SOCOM device is identical.
Fast-Attach HUB Adapter
SureFire's Fast-Attach HUB creates the SOCOM-style suppressor-side interface on a 1 3/8-24 HUB suppressor.
This lets a compatible HUB suppressor attach to supported SOCOM flash hiders, muzzle brakes and WARCOMPs.
SOCOM Can ≠ HUB Can
A native SureFire SOCOM RC2/RC3 does not have a standard HUB rear socket. The Fast-Attach HUB is for HUB suppressors that want to use SureFire muzzle devices.
| SureFire Part / Model | Type | Use | Texas Guns Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOCOM556-RC3 | 5.56 Fast-Attach suppressor | Compatible SOCOM Fast-Attach 5.56 muzzle devices | RC3 is backward compatible with existing SOCOM Fast-Attach devices. |
| SOCOM556-MINI2 | Compact 5.56 Fast-Attach suppressor | Compatible SOCOM 5.56 muzzle devices | SureFire has historically positioned MINI2 around 14.5-inch-and-longer 5.56 rifles. |
| SOCOM300-SPS | .300 BLK / multi-cal SOCOM suppressor | Appropriate SOCOM Fast-Attach muzzle device | Verify exact cartridge and muzzle-device family. |
| SOCOM762-RC2 | 7.62 Fast-Attach suppressor | Compatible SOCOM 7.62 muzzle device | Integral SureFire rear — not HUB. |
| HUB-FA-556-BK | SureFire Fast-Attach HUB — 5.56 | HUB suppressor → supported SOCOM 5.56 muzzle device | Manufacturer part number from SureFire's current product-information list. |
| HUB-FA-762-BK | SureFire Fast-Attach HUB — 7.62 | HUB suppressor → supported SOCOM 7.62 muzzle device | Manufacturer part number from SureFire's current product-information list. |
| FH556RC-1/2-28 | SOCOM 4-Prong Flash Hider | 1/2x28 5.56 barrel-side Fast-Attach device | Example of an exact current SureFire muzzle-device part number. |
| SF3P / SFMB / WARCOMP | SOCOM muzzle-device families | Fast-Attach barrel-side devices | Choose exact caliber/thread variant for the host. |
SureFire + HUB Is Now a Two-Way Conversation
B&T's Rotex-SF can use specified SOCOM muzzle devices, and SureFire now sells its own Fast-Attach HUB adapters for HUB cans. That does not mean all suppressor bodies or locking mechanisms are interchangeable. Identify the suppressor-side adapter first.
Brand Name Alone Does Not Identify the Mount
SilencerCo, Rugged and HUXWRX each sell suppressors with more than one rear-interface architecture, while SureFire now supports both native SOCOM suppressors and HUB cans through a separate Fast-Attach HUB adapter. Identify the exact suppressor model before ordering any mounting part.
Dead Air Model Fitment
Dead Air Suppressor Mounting Guide
Dead Air uses more than one rear interface across its suppressor lineup. The key to ordering the correct parts is identifying whether the suppressor uses the P-Series interface, the industry-standard HUB interface, or an integral mounting system such as the legacy Sandman K / S / L KeyMo mount.
Technical data verified August 2026. This section was built against Dead Air's current 2026 Accessory Fitment Guide, current Dead Air product pages and accessory documentation, plus manufacturer documentation from the aftermarket companies identified below. Specifications and accessory compatibility can change; verify the current manufacturer instructions before installation or firing.
Dead Air Interface Quick Reference
| Suppressor | Rear Interface | Direct Thread | 3-Lug | Piston / Booster | KeyMo / KeyMicro | Xeno | Plan B / Plan A |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wolfman | P-Series 1.203-28 | Yes | Yes | Yes | KeyMicro | P-Series Xeno | Aftermarket |
| Mojave 9 | P-Series accessory interface | Yes | Yes | Yes | KeyMicro | P-Series Xeno | Plan B options |
| Nomad 30 / L | HUB 1.375-24 | Yes | Not a normal application | No | KeyMo HUB | Xeno HUB | HUB aftermarket |
| Primal | HUB 1.375-24 + P-Series adapter | Yes | Via SD502 | Via SD502 | KeyMo / KeyMicro | HUB or P-Series | HUB aftermarket |
| Sandman X | HUB 1.375-24 | Yes | No | No | KeyMo HUB | Xeno HUB | HUB aftermarket |
| Sandman K / S / L | Integral KeyMo | No rear-mount swap | No | No | Integral KeyMo | No | No HUB conversion |
The matrix describes mounting-interface capability, not caliber approval. The suppressor, muzzle device and complete host configuration must all be appropriate for the cartridge being fired.
Dead Air
Wolfman
Modular 9mm PCC / subgun suppressor with extensive P-Series, KeyMicro, Xeno and aftermarket mounting options.
Current Caliber Rating
Dead Air's current Wolfman product page lists 9mm, 5.56, .300 Blackout, .338 ARC, 7.62x39, .350 Legend and .357 Magnum.
For rifle-caliber use, Dead Air's current FAQ specifically directs users of 5.56, 7.62x39, .300 Blackout and .350 Legend to use the DA451 KeyMicro Adapter with a MicroBrake.
What the P-Series Interface Means
The Wolfman does not use the standard 1.375-24 HUB rear thread. It uses Dead Air's smaller P-Series interface. Choose P-Series-specific adapters or a verified aftermarket Wolfman / P-Series adapter.
Common Wolfman Setups
9mm PCC
Direct Thread 1/2-28
Wolfman → DA410 P-Series fixed mount → 1/2-28 fixed barrel. Simple and compact for a dedicated PCC.
MP5 / PCC
3-Lug
Wolfman → DA444 P-Series 3-Lug → standard in-spec HK-pattern 9mm 3-lug barrel or barrel adapter.
9mm PCC
KeyMicro
Wolfman → DA451 KeyMicro → compatible KeyMicro muzzle device, such as a 9mm-bore brake or flash hider.
PCC / Cross-Host
Plan B
Wolfman → Wolfman/P-Series Plan B adapter → verified Plan B-compatible 9mm-bore muzzle device.
Handgun
Booster + Piston
Wolfman → SD500 P-Series booster → appropriate P-Series piston such as DA401 1/2-28 or DA402 M13.5x1 LH.
Rifle Caliber
Dead Air KeyMicro Route
For the rifle calibers identified in Dead Air's FAQ, use DA451 KeyMicro plus the appropriate MicroBrake rather than a handgun-style or 3-lug mounting setup.
Wolfman OEM Part Reference
| Part | Function | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| DA410 | P-Series fixed mount, 1/2-28 | Fixed-barrel 9mm PCC / direct thread |
| DA411 / DA412 / DA413 / DA414 | P-Series fixed mounts: 1/2-36, 5/8-24, M18x1, M13.5x1 LH | Alternate fixed-barrel thread pitches |
| DA444 | P-Series 3-Lug | In-spec 9mm HK-pattern 3-lug hosts |
| SD500 | P-Series Booster Assembly | Tilting-barrel handguns with appropriate piston |
| DA401 / DA402 | P-Series pistons: 1/2-28 / M13.5x1 LH, 9mm bore | Common 9mm handgun barrel threads |
| DA409 | P-Series fixed barrel spacer | Converts supported booster configuration for fixed barrel use |
| DA451 | P-Series KeyMicro Adapter | KeyMicro / KeyMo-family muzzle-device mounting |
| DA457 | P-Series Xeno Adapter | Xeno taper-mount muzzle devices |
Verified Aftermarket Ecosystems for Wolfman
★ Texas Guns Setup Guidance
For an MP5-style dedicated host, 3-lug remains the simplest customer-friendly option. For customers standardizing multiple firearms around Plan B, a Wolfman-specific Rearden or Comstock adapter is a clean solution. Customers already invested in Dead Air muzzle devices are usually best served by KeyMicro.
Dead Air
Mojave 9
Lightweight modular 9mm suppressor with low-backpressure Triskelion architecture and P-Series accessory compatibility.
Current Caliber Rating
Dead Air currently lists 9mm and .300 Blackout subsonic for full-auto use, with .300 Blackout supersonic, .350 Legend and .338 ARC listed for semi-automatic use.
Important Mojave Difference
The Mojave has a shorter blast chamber than the Wolfman. That matters when using aftermarket taper-mount muzzle devices: a muzzle device can have the correct thread and ecosystem but still be too long internally.
Common Mojave 9 Setups
9mm Handgun
Included 1/2-28 Piston
Mojave 9 → PB500 booster system → PB440 1/2-28 piston. PB441 covers M13.5x1 LH 9mm barrels.
9mm PCC
3-Lug
Mojave 9 → DA444 P-Series 3-Lug → in-spec HK-pattern 9mm 3-lug host.
Fixed Barrel
Direct Thread
Use the appropriate P-Series fixed mount such as DA410 1/2-28, or use the Mojave fixed barrel spacer when the supported booster configuration calls for it.
PCC / QD
KeyMicro
Mojave 9 → DA451 KeyMicro adapter → compatible KeyMicro muzzle device with correct bore and thread.
PCC / Taper QD
Xeno
Mojave 9 → DA457 P-Series Xeno adapter → appropriately bored Xeno muzzle device.
Aftermarket Plan B
Compact Device Required
Comstock's P-Series LPA is verified for the Mojave, but Comstock specifically directs Mojave users to micro or compact Plan B muzzle devices because of blast-chamber clearance.
Mojave 9 OEM Part Reference
| Part | Function | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| PB440 | Mojave piston, 1/2-28, 9mm bore | Common U.S. threaded 9mm handgun |
| PB441 | Mojave piston, M13.5x1 LH, 9mm bore | Metric threaded 9mm handgun |
| PB500 | Mojave Booster Assembly | Tilting-barrel handgun use |
| PB139 | Mojave Fixed Barrel Spacer | Supported fixed-barrel conversion |
| DA444 | P-Series 3-Lug | 9mm PCC / subgun 3-lug hosts |
| DA410 | P-Series fixed mount, 1/2-28 | Fixed-barrel direct-thread use |
| DA451 | P-Series KeyMicro Adapter | KeyMicro muzzle-device ecosystem |
| DA457 | P-Series Xeno Adapter | Xeno taper-mount ecosystem |
Aftermarket Note — Mojave 9
★ Texas Guns Setup Guidance
For a pistol-first customer, stay with the factory booster/piston system. For a dedicated PCC, 3-lug is easy to explain and use. Plan B makes sense when the customer is already standardized on that ecosystem, but Mojave blast-chamber clearance must be treated as a hard fitment check.
Dead Air
Nomad 30 / Nomad L
Versatile .30-caliber HUB suppressor family with broad support for direct thread, KeyMo, Xeno and aftermarket HUB mounts.
Why Nomad Is Easy to Standardize
The Nomad 30 and Nomad L use the standard 1.375-24 HUB interface. That means the suppressor-side mount can be changed to a wide range of compatible HUB systems without a proprietary conversion.
Caliber Note
The current Nomad product and fitment materials describe a high-pressure .30-caliber rifle suppressor with a 4,400 ft-lb energy rating. Verify the exact magnum cartridge in Dead Air's current caliber documentation before use.
Common Nomad Setups
Bolt / Hunting Rifle
Direct Thread 5/8-24
Nomad → LT302A 5/8-24 HUB fixed mount → standard 5/8-24 .30-caliber rifle barrel.
AR / Multi-Host
KeyMo
Nomad → DA428 KeyMo HUB adapter → compatible KeyMo muzzle device such as DA301 / DA302 family as appropriate for bore.
Precision / Lightweight QD
Xeno
Nomad → DA455 or current DA455HT Xeno HUB adapter → compatible Xeno muzzle device.
Plan B Ecosystem
Rearden / Comstock
Nomad → 1.375-24 HUB Plan B adapter → correctly bored and rated Plan B-compatible muzzle device.
Griffin Ecosystem
Plan A
Nomad → Griffin 1.375-24 Plan-A HUB adapter → Griffin Taper Mount muzzle device.
5.56 Host
Use Correct Bore Device
A .30-cal Nomad can be used on compatible smaller-bore rifle hosts, but the muzzle device must match the barrel thread and provide adequate projectile clearance.
Nomad OEM Mount Reference
| Part | Function | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| LT301 | HUB fixed mount, 1/2-28 | Compatible smaller-bore rifle hosts using 1/2-28 |
| LT302A | HUB fixed mount, 5/8-24 | Standard .30-cal rifle direct thread |
| LT315 | HUB fixed mount, 5/8-24 SIG taper | SIG taper barrels when appropriate |
| DA428 | KeyMo HUB Adapter | KeyMo muzzle-device ecosystem |
| DA455 / DA455HT | Xeno HUB Adapter / HUB Taper version | Xeno taper-mount ecosystem |
| DA456HT | Xemax HUB Taper Adapter | High-energy Xemax-compatible applications |
HUB Aftermarket Options for Nomad
★ Texas Guns Setup Guidance
For a dedicated hunting or bolt rifle, direct thread keeps the system light and simple. For customers moving a Nomad among multiple rifles, pick one ecosystem — Plan B, Plan A, Xeno or KeyMo — and standardize the muzzle devices across their hosts.
Dead Air
Primal
Big-bore HUB suppressor designed to bridge rifle, lever-gun, PCC and selected handgun applications.
Why the Primal Is Different
The Primal starts as a standard HUB suppressor, but Dead Air includes the SD502 HUB-to-P-Series adapter. That adapter changes the rear socket from 1.375-24 HUB to 1.203-28 P-Series.
Broad Caliber Capability
Dead Air describes the Primal for applications ranging from 9mm and .45 ACP through .45-70 and up to .338 Lapua-class energy, subject to the cartridge, barrel and mounting-system requirements.
Common Primal Setups
Lever / Big Bore
Direct Thread
Primal → appropriate HUB fixed mount → barrel. The supplied 5/8-24 fixed mount covers many rifle applications, but big-bore lever guns may use other threads.
Rifle QD
KeyMo
Primal → DA428 KeyMo HUB → appropriately bored KeyMo or KeyMo 46 muzzle device. Bore clearance is critical.
Precision / QD
Xeno
Primal → DA455 / DA455HT Xeno HUB → compatible Xeno muzzle device with sufficient bore for the cartridge.
9mm PCC
3-Lug via SD502
Primal → SD502 HUB-to-P-Series → DA444 3-Lug → in-spec 9mm HK-pattern 3-lug host.
Handgun
Booster via SD502
Primal → SD502 → SD500 booster → appropriate P-Series piston. Only use on a handgun/caliber configuration Dead Air approves.
HUB Aftermarket
Plan B / Plan A
Primal can use standard HUB Plan B or Griffin Plan-A adapters. The muzzle device must be specifically bored and rated for the cartridge — especially on .45-caliber and big-bore hosts.
Primal OEM Part Reference
| Part | Function | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| SD502 | HUB-to-P-Series Adapter | Allows P-Series booster, 3-lug, KeyMicro and fixed mounts |
| LT302A | HUB fixed mount, 5/8-24 | Included / common rifle direct-thread configuration |
| DA428 | KeyMo HUB Adapter | KeyMo / KeyMo 46 muzzle-device ecosystem |
| DA455 / DA455HT | Xeno HUB adapter | Xeno taper-mount ecosystem |
| DA456HT | Xemax HUB Taper Adapter | High-energy / large-caliber Xemax muzzle devices |
| DA444 | P-Series 3-Lug | Used after SD502 for 9mm 3-lug hosts |
| SD500 | P-Series Booster Assembly | Used after SD502 for approved tilting-barrel handguns |
| DA451 | P-Series KeyMicro Adapter | Used after SD502 when a P-Series KeyMicro route is desired |
HUB Aftermarket Options for Primal
★ Texas Guns Setup Guidance
Treat the Primal as two suppressors in one mounting-wise: HUB for rifle work and P-Series via SD502 for selected PCC / handgun applications. For .45-70 and other big-bore customers, bore diameter of the muzzle device is the first part we verify — not just thread pitch.
Dead Air
Sandman Series
Two different mounting architectures now exist under the Sandman name: the HUB-based Sandman X and the integral-KeyMo K / S / L.
Sandman X
The Sandman X is a modern HUB 1.375-24 suppressor. Dead Air offers it in Xeno and KeyMo configurations, and the HUB rear interface makes other appropriate HUB systems possible.
Sandman K / S / L
The traditional Sandman K, S and L use an integral KeyMo rear mount. Their rear mounting system is not a removable HUB socket. Do not order a HUB Plan B, Plan A or Xeno adapter expecting to convert these cans.
Legacy-Mount Warning
Dead Air's current fitment guide places the Sandman K / S / L in its legacy-product section and lists KeyMo muzzle devices for them. This is one of the most important distinctions on this entire page: Sandman X is HUB; Sandman K / S / L are integral KeyMo.
Common Sandman Setups
Sandman X
KeyMo HUB
Sandman X → DA428 KeyMo HUB adapter → compatible KeyMo muzzle device.
Sandman X
Xeno HUB
Sandman X → DA455 / DA455HT Xeno HUB adapter → compatible Xeno muzzle device.
Sandman X
Plan B / Plan A
Because Sandman X is HUB, an appropriate 1.375-24 Plan B or Griffin Plan-A adapter can be used when all clearance and caliber requirements are met.
Sandman K / S / L
5.56 KeyMo
Integral KeyMo suppressor → appropriate 1/2-28 KeyMo muzzle device such as a properly bored flash hider.
Sandman K / S / L
.30-Cal KeyMo
Integral KeyMo suppressor → appropriate 5/8-24 .30-bore KeyMo brake or flash hider such as DA102 / DA302.
Sandman K / S / L
No HUB Rear Adapter
Plan B, Plan A and HUB Xeno adapter conversions are not the normal mounting path because the KeyMo rear is integral.
Sandman OEM Part Reference
| Part / System | Applies To | Function |
|---|---|---|
| DA428 | Sandman X | KeyMo HUB Adapter |
| DA455 / DA455HT | Sandman X | Xeno HUB adapter |
| DA301 | KeyMo systems | 1/2-28 KeyMo flash hider, .22 bore |
| DA302 | KeyMo systems | 5/8-24 KeyMo flash hider, .30 bore |
| DA101 | KeyMo systems | 1/2-28 KeyMo muzzle brake, .30 bore |
| DA102 | KeyMo systems | 5/8-24 KeyMo muzzle brake, .30 bore |
| Integral KeyMo | Sandman K / S / L | Suppressor rear mount is built into the can; no HUB adapter swap |
Aftermarket Mounting — Sandman
★ Texas Guns Setup Guidance
Before selling any Sandman mounting part, identify the exact Sandman model. If it is K, S or L, think KeyMo muzzle device. If it is Sandman X, think HUB suppressor and then choose the customer's preferred mounting ecosystem.
Dead Air Fitment Rule: Identify the Suppressor Interface First
Before ordering a barrel-side muzzle device, determine whether the suppressor uses P-Series, HUB, or an integral mount. Then verify the muzzle-device bore, barrel thread, cartridge rating, blast-chamber clearance and manufacturer instructions. A matching thread pitch by itself is never enough to establish suppressor fitment.
