Recoil rod centering bushing will solve the problem.

BSAGCA:

I got my adapter from EWK Arms for my compact and saw this tool linked below on the site so I got it. The tool to take the 622 barrel nut off had worked like a charm and I had heard the Compact’s nut was tight so I got it.

I had found the company when I was searching for an adapter to suppress my S&W 622. I liked the quality so I went back when I got my compact.

The tool worked great. It wasn’t cheap. It is very sturdy and a good size to hold on to. I was glad I got it after I saw how tight the factory nut was so it was worth the price to me.

FYI - I have no ties to the owner of the company. He did answer questions I had about about the 622 adapter before I bought it via email and was helpful with that question.

If anyone is interested I bought the EWK wrench thinking it may work with the SiCo t hread adapter since it has similar notches to the OEM protector, it does NOT work with the SiCo adapter, bummer.

I need that adapter, unless someone can make a damn tool to take the SiCo adapter on and off with ease.

So I was in the local LGS fondling a G43 today (mine arrives at another dealer tomorrow) and I noticed they had a M&P 22 compact with thead adapter on it, store owner said it came that way from the factory. Sure as shit, I see Smith released a “suppressor ready” model just before NRA show that comes with an OEM thread adapter AND WRENCH. Does anyone know where to obtain the suppressor kit listed in the above press release?
