Early on we were asked if we were going to do a quick detach design for our QSM .223 silencer.  In fact, we did design a quick detach mechanism to fit our .223 can, however upon hearing multiple reports of failures of competitor's quick detach mechanisms, we decided not to put it into production.  Reports abounded of suppressors going down range when not intended and also loss of accuracy due to the inherent errors in these mechanisms. 

Instead, our philosophy has been to provide a suppressor that is light enough and small enough to leave permanently attached to the weapon.  On further examination of the philosophy behind this, we've found that the idea was to be able to quickly remove the suppressor in case of catastrophic failure (private conversation with SEAL team members).  The idea that you can remove a red hot suppressor quickly is a total fallacy.  Our opinion is that it is much better to 'put it on and leave it on'.  We have yet to experience a catastrophic failure of our suppressors when properly applied and secured to the barrel.  This is borne out in testing by the Army Evaluation Task Force at Fort Bliss, as well what as other training facilities and law enforcement officers have related to us.

Let's be realistic here.  If the estimates of suppressor temperature increase are 7 degrees per round, after 20 rounds if you grab the suppressor it's like sticking your hand in boiling water.  Your skin will start to melt basically at any temperature over 140 degrees.  If you put 100 rounds through your suppressor, temperatures will approach 800 degrees and you might as well try to grab a red hot stove element.  You will also have exceeded the melting temperature of lead...  You figure it out.

According to our beta tester, John Shaw, "Now that I've started shooting with a suppressor, I won't shoot without it!" 

Put it on and leave it on.
