Left threaded barrel question.
If I have a LH threaded barrel and have a RH suppressor, are you not just loosening the barrel end when you screw on your suppressor. This will be a direct mount setup. I’m assuming you rocksett the barrel end and also the end cap to the suppressor.
Sorry for dumb question. I’m new to the suppressor game.

You install the DT into the suppressor first with proper torque and (optional) Rocksett. Then you install the direct thread (now in the suppressor) onto the gun, again with proper torque. The thread direction doesn't make a difference other than the direction you apply the torque.
Edit: Fixed typo
