[No.6]

I've tried (unsuccessfully so far) to contact pistol barrel manufacturers inquiring if they are planning to offer a threaded barrel (or longer barrel that could be threaded by a third party). Haven't heard back from any of them. So my question is this: Do any of the forum members have any information regarding threaded barrels. I know Gemtech is supposed to offer a package with a Blackslide suppressor at some point, but I haven't heard any more since the initial announcement.

Ask this guy :wink:

Call or e-mail Steve at ADCO Firearms. They can set you up with a threaded extension to your factory barrel that works as great as it looks.

How do you get an extension added to the barrel??

Hell if I know?

Magic? Superglue and luck? Ask ADCO.

There's several guys running around with M&P's with ADCO threaded extensions, and some XD's and whatnot too. I'd have one on my .45, but all the .45 suppressors out there suck ass dry, and I don't want to have to shoot them wet to be hearing safe. If AAC ever releases the Black Box .45 suppressor I'll get one.

There is a gunsmith locally, (whom I do NOT trust, therefore I will not use) making barrel extensions. First he threads the existing barrel then builds a short (about 1 to 1.3 inch long) adapter that has an internal thread (barrel) and an external thread (suppressor). So what you end up with is a longer barrel to get out in front of the slide. The threads do not overlap so off the gun it looks like a short tube with 1/2 of it threaded and the other 1/2 solid.

Exactly! I've seen adapters (fittings) that was probably the genesis of the idea. Now I know the Germans build a SMG that would shoot around corners back in WWII, guess they went to the plumbing store too.

...but all the .45 suppressors out there suck butt dry, and I don't want to have to shoot them wet to be hearing safe.

The KAC suppressors are hearing safe dry. (Ask me how I know.

) I've been trying to find out if they are compatible with the M&P and haven't gotten an answer back yet.

KAC's are hearing safe dry on the MK23, and according to Al Paulson about 80% of the shots from a HK45 Tac.



KAC's are like $1,500+ piror to the tax. I'd rather just get a HEMSII or something and put some water in that sucker.

KAC needs to go ahead and release that new 45 can they have the utilizes wipes and baffles. I would definitely buy one of those.





If you end up suppressing the .45 I really want to know/hear about it. Would love to suppress my M&P45.

Believe me I'm working on suppressing a M&P!

So far as the new KAC baffle/wipe short suppressor, it was done on speculation of a demand that didn't materialize. According to KAC, there are no plans to release it to the public at this time.

Why don't you look into one of the export models? Have you asked S&W?



Here we MUST have a 123mm (5") barrel to be compliant under the law to have the pistol... Sticks out fine from the frame... NOT allowed to even mention anything about a ... one of them things on the end...



Some dude was selling an M&P9 with a 5" barrel and bitss :wink: :wink: Here is a picture of it,









Looks just like mine will in 12 days!!! 8) Just without the thread bit and cap thingy.[/b][/u]

243ww, thanks for the lead. I'll check it out and post the info if there is something to be had.

Here is the link to the one getting sold:

That's an M&P9.

Just emailed S&W about a barrel and also about a .22 kit (probably dreaming on that one. LOL). Haven't heard a peep out of any of the barrel makers, so I guess we'll see if Smith graces me with a reply.

 

[243ww]

You didn't mention any calibre so I presumed it was a 9? :roll:

Heard back from S&W, no threaded barrel from them, no plans for one either.

Any chance of you getting one of the export barrels? Or are they only made in 9mm>

And now I read an article in Gun World by Leroy Thompson in which he says that you can order a M&P45 with a threaded barrel. OK, now somebody is not telling the truth here. This is getting to be very frustrating.
