Is Keymo still good to go?

[WBrownie]

Hey all, had a chat with a sales rep at Nashville Range this week while looking at the DA Nomad and wanted to run it by you all. My current rifle is set up with a 14.5” Ballistic Advantage barrel with a p/w Dead Air Keymo muzzle device.  Dude was telling me about how Keymo is prone to baffle strikes and that I should get an Aero Lahar and swap the Keymo for a hub.  Are baffle strikes with the Keymo really that common or was he just selling his product?  Both would come out to roughly the same price if memory serves.

I don’t own nor have I use Keymo but the owner of Otter Creek Labs just announced that they would no longer warranty their new printed suppressors if the person was using Keymo.

I don't have Keymo, but from what I've read and heard from other it's common for people to not use enough force when threading on suppressors, so when the mount is locked it's not properly aligned. Obviously you can make yourself aware of the issue and make sure you're using enough torque, but it seems to me the high number of Keymo baffle strikes will hurt your ability to use a non-DA can and get warranty service if you do get a baffle strike (like expendable mentioned with OCL's announcement).

Thx all. Seems like shifting to focus on the DA Nomad 30 seems reasonable, if I simply always leave the can on the rifle and hold my lip right when I put it on the mount.  I like the idea of warranty support.

Glad I went with Xeno mounts on all my rifles and cans after I saw Andrew's post about not doing warranty work on Keymo. I use an OCL Polo 30 on two 6.8SPC's. I also have a Nomad 30 and Nomad LT. They are great cans. My 30 lives on my 308 deer rifle.
