Nomad 30 is definitely lighter- 4 ounces less with keymo, 10 ounces less with jmac X37 mount. And quieter. Nomad-L is much quieter but only tied on weight with Keymo, with x37 mount, it's 6 ounces less.
Depending on which thread adapter you need to use, Wolverine is between 20-24 ounces. It's really fucking heavy.
I couldn't feel a huge difference between the weight/size of direct thread and keymo. I think that it's a lot of noise over very little difference. Keymo also doesn't add much length. The keymo sleeves over the muzzle device which sleeves over the barrel. You're mostly just adding a bunch of weight, maybe 6-8 ounces depending on muzzle device.
Yeah almost all my stuff is direct thread but I had heard that Keymo is heavy. It's an industry standard for a reason-- it works, but sometimes the weight isn't worth the QD.
Keymo is bombproof and IMO very safe and convenient.
I never noticed the weight that much but I would notice if my can came loose during firing or got stuck when I wanted to take the can back off.
You do have to rocksett the shit out of everything but even when I didn't do this, all my failures (ie, stuff coming loose) were during disassembly rather than during shooting.
I've run direct thread before (primarily on 22 hosts/cans) and it's annoying during extended shooting sessions when stuff starts coming loose.
Yeah the PBS-1 was shit but dude-- they look so cool! My buddy just built a 9x39 SBR it's awesome.
Edit:: the Nomad is still lighter with KeyMo than the Wolverine?
