Threaded replacement barrels

If your pistol isn't threaded, a drop-in threaded barrel is usually the simplest fix. Confirm the barrel matches your exact model and generation.

Adapters: useful, with limits

A thread adapter can let a can with one mount thread fit a barrel with another. Adapters add length and another joint that can loosen or misalign. Use quality adapters, check alignment, and never use one to put a suppressor on a caliber larger than its rating.
