Suppressor connector for firearms

A method of coupling a suppressor to a firearm, the method comprising:

• providing a muzzle device having:
• an engagement ring;
• a plurality of engagement teeth;
• and
• a set of threads;
• providing a suppressor connector having:
• a distal end with distal end threads that are operable to couple the suppressor connector to the suppressor;
• a proximal end with proximal end threads that are operable to couple the suppressor connector to the muzzle device, the proximal end threads having a distal thread end and a proximal thread end;
• at least one flexible pawl having:
• a distal end coupled to the suppressor connector proximate to the distal thread end of the proximal end threads,
• a free floating proximal end that terminates beyond the proximal thread end of the set of proximal end threads of the suppressor connector, and
• an engagement face on the free-floating proximal end;
• and
• at least one outer hood having.
• a distal end coupled to the suppressor connector proximate to the distal end of the flexible pawl;
• and
• a free floating proximal end that at least partially covers the free-floating proximal end of the flexible pawl;
• and
• coupling the suppressor connector to the muzzle device.
