Decided to try the Wilson Combat flash suppressor and it came with a crush washer.

I was thinking that the Wilson Combat was self tightening like the Smith Vortex.

I just got the phone with Wilson and they said the Wilson is self tightening but you might want to use the crush washer to keep it from tightening itself on so tight you can't get it off.

Anyone running one of these? Did you use the Crush Washer?

Also, I noticed that crush washers have a flat side and a beveled side. Which side goes towards the end of the barrel?

No help on the Wilson, but the crush washer goes angled/beveled side towards the shoulder/unthreaded portion of the barrel, flat side to muzzle device.
