I just picked up a Glock 17 TB and I'm concerned that my barrel may not be threaded correctly based on pictures of other Glock threaded barrels.  Mine only has three full revolutions on the threads:

Most of the pictures I've seen appear to have at least four or five full revolutions. Does anybody have any information that would help?

Got to post as an image not URL. I would correct for you but it is a PITA on an iPad.

There was another thread in here with the same question. Pics were posted. I believe the OP called glock and they said the the newer barrel version has fewer threads and is totally normal. I'll see if I can find the thread.

ETA:  Found the thread

Would send back to Glock, no way I would screw a can on that.

I would get confirmation about that. Email one of the bigger suppressor companies

Mine has the same amount of threads.

over 1000 suppressed rounds and no issues with the threads.

....rifling yes, threads no.

Got a reply from Silencerco today:

"Thank you for contacting us. We have used our suppressors on the new Glock threaded barrels without a problem. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Please let me know if there is anything else we can help you with."
