I have an AR 22 carbine and need to start working on another 80% kit to make a pistol.
Do you use 3 prong adapters for .22's also? I thought they used direct screw on.
Most are direct thread.

Are they tapered threads or do you use teflon tape or blue locktite. I have read where people mention buying a welding glove for when they come loose.

The piston in the booster allows pressure to essentially blow the can forward aggainst the spring and uncouple from the barrel. In a fixed barrel it just blows forward and beats the hell out of the mount and spring. With 3 lug the pressure actually tightens up the mount and seals the taper as the can builds pressure, so kinda the opposite. Rifle cals get too hot and will wreck the spring, and damage either enough to get a baffle strike in a few rounds.Ok - so now I know what the booster is for and when you don't need one.
[EDIT]
So my Walther PPK/S 380 (e.g.) does not need a booster. Hmmm. No threaded barrel though.

In a 9mm can, There are 3 that kinda stand out, Silencerco 36M, Dead Air Wolfman, and the Rugged Obsidian 9. Main thing they all share is modular length, and they are all excellent PCC cans that can handle some (or many) rifle cals. A short 5" K can is really nice on short braced pistols or SBRs, or even handguns, and the ability to add an extension to quiet it down more is convenient. While all 3 have 3 lug setups, the Wolfman and 36M can handle full power rifle rounds, and the heat will destroy a 3 lug mount, so you would need another mounting method to get the full versatility out of them.

300BO subs are borderline, pretty much the hottest thing a 3 lug can handle. 300 supers run too hot and need a rifle rated mount. The main risk is the spring gets cooked, if it has O ring they get burned and the can will get play and can strike a baffle. The Wolfman can use the keymo micro or 3rd party stuff like Griffin Plan A / taper mount. The 36M comes with an ASR mount for rifle cal, would need to add a lug kit to both cans. Could run DT, but it needs to be torqued or it will come loose every mag. Keymo is really nice, kinda like a rifle rated 3 lug, just slide on and turn. Problem is it's expensive, heavy and adds length. I like Griffin taper mounts, lots to choose from, simple, well made and they just work.
Thanks again, I will start looking for Griffin taper mounts.
