Need help to remove supressor screw cap

[dagc]

Hi there. I have a Sphinx SDP with a pinnochio nose.

I am having a heck of a hard time removing that front muzzle cap. It's a new gun.

Here is a dumb question... lefty loosey, tighty righty for removal of these muzzle caps, correct??

Thanks in advance.

I don’t know why but somebody told me that it’s opposite of this… i’ve never had a threaded barrel pistol, but they told me Right-loose

Thanks! Still very tight but now I know which direction to turn.

Most threaded pistol barrels I've seen/had are opposite of the old adage.

my three rifles that are threaded for cans are righty tighty

The reason being ,it is because of the direction of the rifling in the barrel . The threading must be in the same direction other wise it will have a tendency to unscrew all by its self when shot . So right hand twist ,right hand treads .
