well worth it
this piston works as it should and fits perfectly.
The CAM-LOK® (Covert Application Mount - Locking) is a universal QD piston system comprised of two parts, the piston, and the barrel adapter. This product page is for the piston (bronze color part that is installed in the suppressor).
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 browning style action (tilt barrel) 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® system supports a 3/4" socket wrench for installation with prevailing torque, and features a taper lock system, which encourages secure attachment, despite the piston still actuating for and aft during the firing sequence. The piston 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 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 CAM-LOK® pistons are "universal"; accommodating any pistol mounted with a 3 Lug CAM-LOK® 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® barrel adapters between piston models.
These Pistons are required for use with the Revolution®, Resistance®, Optimus® 9mm, and Bushwhacker® 46 in the pistol configurations.
It is important to intermittently clean and lubricate the exterior of the piston and interior of the booster housing to ensure smooth reciprocation with the O ring in the piston retainer.
O-Rings should be replaced intermittently when worn to ensure alignment of the silencer with the booster assembly. Failure to replace damaged or worn O-rings could result in a baffle strike or damage to the piston components.
Piston are H900 heat treated with a rust inhibitor. Please note, color and color pattern will vary due to the heat treatment.
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.
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. 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.

this piston works as it should and fits perfectly.
simplicity and speed make this an amazing product.
Awesome product. Works great on my Osprey 9
The piston is excellent. Not much to write about a piston, but one of these is all you need. There is a bit of technique needed to mount the cam lok. Most people want to wrench it down there but that's not how it's designed. With mine about 1/2mm from being totally bottomed out is when you can spin the suppressor and lock it up. It's very secure. Makes it so that you can swap hosts with ease without changing pistons.
I like a company thats not afraid to make some of their parts to work with a different brands systems. Now, I just recently received my Revo-45 but I use a tri-lug adapter with it. I wanted to use my AAC TiRant 45 for pistol use. And the fact that I can now use it on my 9mm without changing the piston is amazing. Thanks for thinking out the box.
Eliminate the need to retighten, stop endlessly screwing on your can. This is way and hopefully it becomes a standard.
First time I've ever not had to check a hot suppressor,except 3 lug. This is a game changer for pistols.
Wow, just Wow. I can finally shoot my suppressed handguns without having stop and tighten the suppressor. Easy on and off as well. Works great on my Rugged 45. Only down side the piston does not fit my Silencerco Osprey, no slots on the side.
Quality is first rate! Ease of use gets a ten out of ten. Performance, not really sure as the POI changed drastically from the screw on piston to the cam lok version ... jury is out. I took my revo 45 can home and have cleaned for another trip (verify assembly). Hope POI comes back (LWRC 45)
I ordered two sets of cam lock pistons and thread adapters for my Silencerco Octanes as soon as I heard about them. Pisrons, no matter the manufacturer, have to be checked frequently when shooting because they can cone loose. This works as advertised. It protects the threads, stays tight when shooting, and attaches quickly. I am impressed that they made these for many popular silencers other than just their own. Anybody want to buy some used Silencero piston? Because I won't be using them anymore!
