9MM CAM-LOK® BARREL ADAPTERS
Called Griffin and they made good on the order. They will be making the claim with FedEx. Great Service.
The CAM-LOK® (Covert Application Mount - Locking) Universal piston system is comprised from two parts, the piston or CAM-LOK® direct thread adapter, and the barrel adapter. This product page is for the barrel adapter (smaller black component pictured).
The Griffin Armament CAM-LOK® interface affords the user the ability to convert the suppressor to a much faster and more secure mounting solution on pistols vs it's legacy technology, single piece, direct thread piston counterparts. This system provides a rapid, secure attachment to the host pistol. Direct thread single piece pistons have several negative attributes. They do not accept tools, and are hand tightened to the host firearm. As a result of hand installation, they loosen when the piston system reciprocates under slide cycling during the firing sequence. This vibration and inadvertent loosening of pistol silencers, requires end users to constantly check tighten pistol silencers. This periodically causes users to have "bad range days" with unforeseen baffle strikes and end cap strikes. These unfortunate events cause logistically burdensome work for consumers to communicate with service departments, ship products back and forth, and sometimes assume charges for repair for these issues.
No longer do users need to worry about their pistol suppressors loosening during use (as with traditional fixed direct thread pistons). The CAM-LOK® interface supports a 3/4" socket wrench for installation with prevailing torque, and features a taper locking system, which encourages secure attachment, despite the piston still actuating for and aft during the firing sequence. The piston or CAM-LOK® direct thread adapter can be attached / detached in any one of three, 120 degree positions, ensuring there are no "false positive" interfacing positions to slow deployment of the suppressor onto the host firearm. Additionally, the manufacturing accuracy of the interface is held to Griffin Armament's high quality standards for squareness, and concentricity, ensuring that each mounting position has similar and minimal POI shift influence. To support this, the mating pistons and CAM-LOK® direct thread adapters have all mating diameters and interfacing geometry qualified in a single operation, for tool quality accuracy and perfection. A similar manufacturing theory was applied to the barrel adapter for maximum alignment accuracy.
End users benefit from being able to attach their silencer to various adapter interfaced host firearms, without having to disassemble the suppressor and change the piston to a different thread pitch. The piston is "universal"; accommodating any pistol mounted with a 3 Lug universal barrel adapter. Additionally, end users with different brand suppressors supported by the CAM-LOK® piston family, will be able to benefit from the interchangeability of CAM-LOK® QD barrel adapters between CAM-LOK® piston models. This adapter also acts as a thread protector for the more expensive barrel's threads which when used with fixed pistons, are traditionally exposed.
9mm versions are shorter .45 caliber versions feature an extended cylinder to attach to the larger diameter barrels.
Installation & Use Notes : Suppressor should be tightly assembled when using this product to avoid inadvertent disassembly of the suppressor when removing it from QD barrel adapter. We recommend to check suppressor tightness every magazine to ensure it has not worked loose due to vibration caused by the cycling of the slide. Barrel adapters should be installed to their host firearms with a minimum torque rating of 20 ft/lbs using a 3/4 socket and needle type torque wrench. Use of a box end wrench will not have optimal contact with the wrench flat geometry on the adapter and may damage the adapter.
FOR FIXED BARREL APPLICATIONS (PISTOL CALIBERS ONLY) : This can be accomplished using one of our CAM-LOK® direct thread adapters, in conjunction with a CAM-LOK® barrel adapter.
Note: CAM-LOK® is designed to be a covert, QD silencer attachment method, and should not be perceived as an active-locking system. CAM-LOK® should be check-tightened each magazine at a minimum. For customers looking for a more traditionally-threaded system with increased retention, we recommend EZ-LOK™ as an alternative.
Features:
*NOTE*
1/2x28: Indexes off the barrel shoulder. For use on standard, sub compact, compact, and full-size tilt-barrel firearms that have a normal profile of barrel (G19, G17, P320, S&W M&P 2.0).
1/2x28 Special: Indexes off the face of the muzzle. For use on micro compact tilt barrel firearms with little to no barrel shoulder due to the thinner profile of the barrel (G43, G43x, G48, P365, P365XL, Hellcat).
If you are concerned about fitment, the 1/2x28 special will work on a normal profile barrel as well. It will operate the same, but if you have a longer threaded surface on your barrel, you may see uncovered threads rearward of the muzzle device when using this option.
1/2x28 SMG/PCC: Made specifically for SMG’s and PCC’s (Sub Machine Guns and Pistol Caliber Carbines) that have the industry standard length of threads commonly found on carbines: 0.625.”
Glock Gen 4 or Gen 5 users: It is reported the barrel adapter may touch your guide rod when the slide reciprocates. We have not been able to replicate in house using CAM-LOK®/EZ-LOK™ barrel adapters with Glock Gen 4/5 recoil spring assemblies. However, the items below allow your Glock® Gen 4/5 to work with a Glock® Gen 3 recoil spring assembly that does not have this reported issue.

Both adapters are well made & a perfect fit. Should have torque specs included.
Bought to use for QD mounting a .22LR silencer. The CAM-Lok system is a good update to the hundred plus year old interrupted thread technique.
Just like Griffin's Suppressors, High Quality Everything! Love your products and company.
The adapters are well-made they lock up with my suppressor, but I have not made it to the range yet
Having what essentially amounts to a “three lug” style system for pistols is fantastic. The system is incredibly secure when affixed properly. Easy to install and easy to use. The 1/2x28 is super low profile but the 13.5x1 LH adds a little length (similar to how the .45 looks) but I’m sure there’s a reason for it. I’m a big fan of the system. I think thread protectors would be a nice addition, but I suppose the coarse “three lug” threads are more robust and less likely to be dinged, but still.
This was suggested to me by a good friend. This is a great idea and extremely well executed.
Quality is excellent. The only reason I didn't offer 5 stars is that it isn't offered in a stainless finish. Many firearms are manufactured with SS barrels and a stainless muzzle device would look better.
The 1/2x28 special barrel adapter worked as advertised & fit perfectly on my hellcat RDP. Awesome product , with genuine customer service! They also surprised me with some pretty rad stickers, would definitely recommend to a friend.
I bought both .45 and 9mm barrel adapters for my rev45. Great quality adapters and easy installation. Torqued to the minimum spec and was good to go. I'm happy with purchasing. And again Griffin has great customer service for sure! Thanks guys !
