A gunsmith buddy of mine is horrified that I don't want to heavily tighten my direct thread suppressor or my other suppressor's adaptor to the barrels.
He swears that accuracy will be affected and recommends indexing them so they're tightened exactly the same every time. I don't agree but want some input here.
I get it that there is a danger of suppressors or adaptors unscrewing during extended fire or even while carrying but I'm not even close to a volume shooter and my idea of shooting is basically shoot and cool while checking accuracy and keeping equipment from getting overheated.
Soooo..... My question is this.... Is it ok to just hand tighten suppressors and adaptors to barrels if you check them frequently?
The reason I ask this is because I want to be able to make changes in the field without needing any tools other than maybe a small hand towel to keep from getting my hand burned by a hot suppressor or barrel.
