I'm not a big fan of connecting devices in series that alternate twists because tightening one loosens the other. For example, after long strings of fire I must tighten the suppressor on my KKM threaded barrel. Since its right handed twist, I'm also tightening down the booster/Nielson device that is also right handed. If I used a OEM barrel that is left handed twist, I'd be unscrewing the booster; not a fun 2-handed proposition when dealing with hot components. For those of you using OEM Glock (or Sig or HK) barrels, do you find it hard to tighten the suppressor on the threads without unscrewing the booster/Nielson device? Is this an issue for you?
