m&p questions

Iggie · May 20, 2012

Does the m&p pro or 9L barrel fit the full size gun? If so does anyone have the actual barrel lengths? And prices. I dont really want to pay $225 for a threaded barrel. So I'm looking for cheaper options.

it will fit, but it wont shoot for crap. the muzzle end is oversized.

A cheaper option is to use your stock barrel and just get closer to your target.

Paper targets don't work well as supressors. Which is my actual goal. I was tring to figure out if its cheaper to buy a threaded barrel for my nine or get a .22 with a threaded barrel and then buy a supressor for it.

I have a 22/45 mark3 with a bull barrel can that be turned and threaded or is it just better to buy a replacement upper?

Thanks for the info.

ah, no on the pro barrel,

yes on the 22/45.
Is it better to buy a replacement? threading the stock will probably cost you 60-80.
a tac sol will cost you a couple hundred. what do you consider better?

tac sol will be much lighter than the stock upper

I see. Although I would love the lighter upper. The least expensive route will probally be the best option for now, and I will have to look into getting the lighter upper for the kiddo/wife to have fun with later.

Thanks for the info guys

Wasn't planning on one that fast. Unless it hangs around ill miss out. Thanks for pointing it out to me though.

Standard thread pattern for 9mm is 1/2X28 or were you wanting a different pattern? Also, you could sell the .22 and get a factory threaded 22/45. I just paid $350 for the new 22/45 Lite with threaded aluminum receiver. If you just want a suppressor for play, go with the .22. There is a ton of difference in both suppression and weight/length. If you will use it mostly for a pistol, go with the Spectre 2. The SS Sparrow is also great.
