    My Omega is pretty much a one-gun can, and I'm trying loktite on the mount module.
    Yes, Dead Air flash hiders work with the Key-Mo.

    Ha Hansohn Borther's beat me to it.

    My Omega's permanently live on my 9" 300 BLK's on a direct thread so I haven't had issues other that trying to get the freaking end caps off. If your using the Omega on just one gun have you tried just using the direct thread adapter? I prefer it to the QD along with the flat end cap.

    Have you had any issues with the suppressor coming loose during a firing session? I've been using the ASR mount on a single rifle but always wondered how solid the direct-thread attachment is.

    I've had zero issues with the suppressor coming loose with direct thread. I typically run 2-350 rounds per session. I check tension part way through and at the end and never felt as if it was loosening.

    That’s not an option for my use. I need the rifle to work without the can, so a flash hider is necessary.

    I have a Dead Air Sandman-s and k. I have been happy with the performance, attachment system, etc. I also have an older Saker 556 that I installed the Key-mo on and that eliminated really the only thing I didn't like about it (the mount). If I didn't go with Dead Air, I would have gone Surefire. A friend of mine has most of their cans (556, 556 mini, 300sps) and I have tried all of them out and was impressed.

    Flow-through suppressors have significant advantages for high round count training...

    No reason in particular, but for QD rifle cans, I prefer threaded taper mounts. It's the type of mounting system I've had the least problems with the can getting stuck on the mount or alignment problems causing baffle/endcap strikes or POI shift. That said, Surefire and Gemtech both have very easy to attach mounting systems. I do really like the Gemtech Patrolman direct thread can. We use one at work on a gun we use to do suppressor demos because it adds very little weight to the rifle. For non-shooters, a one pound+ suppressor and mount combo can make a rifle uncomfortably front heavy.

    Reduced lead/other bad stuff exposure? I've always wondered how much additional lead exposure I get when shooting a ton of rounds suppressed in semi-autos.
