Threaded Barrel for a S&W M&P 9mm

[ChamberedRound]

I'm contemplating buying a Trident suppressor. I haven't made the decision yet, but I'm trying to gather the information I need. And before I even get into all the paperwork, I need to find a place that will make a threaded barrel for my M&P9.

I emailed Bar-Sto and KKM; Bar-Sto has yet to reply, and KKM said "No". I plan on contacting S&W as well, but my guess is that to have the Performance Center custom make one (if they even will) is going to be more cash than I have.

Anyone know of any other quality barrel manufacturers which will make a threaded barrel for an M&P, or that stock them at a reasonable price?

Good luck with that! I have just decided to buy one of the SWR Trident 9's also but I'm going to suppress a glock and have already found a threaded barrel. I know nothing about the M&P, good luck with that!.

I've actually been considering suppressing my Glock 26 with one of the shorter cans available for a nice compact package. I'd just get a factory G19 barrel and have a machinist thread the end. Though, I think i want to get one of my home-defense rifles supressed first since that's really what going to leave me with permanent hearing damage when the shit hits.

Hey guy's,

I did a google search for threaded barrels for an M&P 45 and found this post asking about threaded barrels for a M&P 9mm. If it helps you any, I know ADCO will extrude and thread your factory barrel. Here is a link to where I found the info on Silencer Talk.

I found this thread on the MP-Pistol.com boards, where someone was looking for a threaded barrel for an M&P 45. One of the responses, posted on December 6th, was by a guy from Storm Lake Barrels :

"We have 40S&W, 357Sig, and 9mm in development on the 4" barrel, which we expect to have ready by January.

The 45ACP and subcompacts will follow, and we hope to have those ready by March-April. All of the models will have threading options.

I know nothing about threaded barrels, but I did just pick up an M&P 9c yesterday, so I've been reading quite a bit over there and thought that post might help.

ETA: Sorry, didn't even look to see that the poster above me dug this up from way back when...

Very nice, I had all but forgotten about this! If Storm Lake is stocking them or making them to order, I'll definitely be picking one up.

Ok I went out and got the storm ported barrel. For my S&W M&P 45. I shoot it in the dark. At 50 ft. Side by side with the stock barrel. The grouping was smaller with the storm barrel. There was no more noise than the stock barrel. In the dark I could see fine. No blow back of Particles. Double tapping was quicker. Felt recoil was lesson. Muzzle rise was also less. This was with 230gr jp. 5.0grians win. Powder. All in all, not a big Improvement. But improvement there was. I like the storm lake ported barrel.
