US12460889 - Suppressor connector for firearms
A suppressor connector has distal end threads operable to couple the suppressor connector to a suppressor device and proximal end threads operable to couple to a muzzle of a firearm. At least one flexible pawl is coupled to the suppressor connector and has a free-floating proximal end that terminates beyond the proximal thread end of the set of proximal end threads of the suppressor connector and has an engagement face on the free-floating proximal end. At least one outer hood has a distal end coupled to the suppressor connector proximate to the distal end of the flexible pawl and a free-floating proximal end that at least partially covers the free-floating proximal end of the flexible pawl and that extends beyond and substantially parallel to the free-floating proximal end of the flexible pawl.
