    Recently bought a Glock 19 gen 5

    Came w silencerco threaded barrel

    The cap keeps coming loose and I haven’t even fired the gun

    How do you keep the cap tight, but able to take off for cleaning the barrel?

    They make thin crush washers for that very purpose
    Many ARs use them to keep the flash hiders , muzzle brakes and cans snug

    Most all my threaded barrel caps come loose during shooting, I check every mag or so and tighten when necessary.

    ETA: Even if it's been 1k rds without cleaning.
