The thread protector coming loose issue isn't really solvable if you also run suppressed, as loc-tite makes it impractical to repeatedly take the protector on and off. You should never use the thread protector imo:
Unsuppressed - just use the flash hider. It doesn't come loose, and it acts as the thread protector by itself
Suppressed - non-issue. Very nice if you didn't loc-tite on a thread protector beforehand.
My Scorpions are all ~2 MOA at 25 yds with 124gr Speer Lawman and 147gr Gold Dots.

Per CZ tech support, the thread protector will always come loose (WITHOUT loc-tite), the more rounds you shoot. Numerous reports of it fully detaching, rattling around inside the flash hider, and the next bullet hitting it and shooting it and the flash hider off the gun.
Funny story about this loose thread protector business....because of the frequently reported issues with it coming loose I opted to just preemptively buy an HB Industries 1/2x28 Micro-Comp and use that instead of the factory muzzle device. When I went to install it....my thread protector was so tight I had to use a strap wrench to get it off. I had previously removed it by hand once, then threaded it back on by hand, and fired maybe 50 rounds through the gun. So unless I somehow cross-threaded the thread protector, which I don’t think I did, I guess that small amount of shooting was enough to carbon-lock the protector in place?
Then, after putting the Micro-comp on, with its high temp O-ring that is supposed to keep it from backing off the threads, I find that it backs off anyway. So I’m going to have to try something else there I guess.
My Scorp is pretty accurate though, just dicking around with it with iron sights at 100 yards I’m surprised by how well it shoots.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
