I've got a 556 stainless QD Phantom. My only complaint would be the the weight. It's heavy, but it runs reliably, even full auto.
From personal experience, I spent a few hundred extra on QD, and mounts. In real life, its been on the same blackout for over a year. If I had to do it again I would not go QD. Your mileage may vary.

I regularly regret going qd. Not on a yhm but in general. I find myself just swapping the 30cal and 22cal qd's onto other rifles... could have saved 300 bucks and just gone direct with thread adapters at this point.
I'm on board with saving money... But I'm also on board with having some kind of muzzle device on the ARs when they're not suppressed. Just kind of makes sense to me to go ahead and put the QD stuff on the rifles and lleave 'em.
That was my thought going in, but after owning it I realized i'd have nearly a thousand dollars in muzzle devices. I have 3 prong flash hiders that don't require clocking so no need to have a crush washer if properly tightened, they float around to whatever isn't wearing the can. Now if I had a suppressor that had 50 or 60 dollar qd's rather than nearly 100 i'd think about having one on each. I keep a bag of 1/2 and 5/8 crush washers around just in case I want to run a brake rather than the can or my basic flash hiders. If you do go the qd route, buy extra mounts and leave them in their package for future use in the event that the design gets discontinued.
This'll definitely require some more thought on my end for sure. I'm not a high-volume shooter. Nor much of a rifleman to speak of. I'd just as soon set it and forget it, so to speak. Honestly, at least to start with, I'll probably just go with what ships with the can and then a +1.
Happen to know if there's a way that the user can remove the QD portion from the suppressor and use it direct-thread on another platform? If I hunt 'yotes with my step dad, it'd be nice if he could put the .30 on his rifle as he sits near me. His rifle doesn't wear a muzzle device.
It is not interchangeable. Your can will either be QD, or direct thread. Keep in mind each rifle will either be zeroed for your suppressor, or zeroed for non suppressed. I really wish it wasn't for the 200 dollar transfer, Id make you a hell of a deal on mine with a pile of mounts, then I would go buy a direct thread.
