Has anyone swapped in a threaded bbl in their 92FS? If so, what brand did you use? Were they std threads?

Thanks in advance!

I had the factory barrel threaded .5 X 28.  Threads might be dictated by whatever you want to mount.  Any reason you want to swap in a non-factory barrel?

Yeah, I just bought a can & want a second host for it with 1/2 x 28 threads. I don't wish to thread the OEM bbl & want a drop-in/aftermarket bbl to swap in & out as I please for my 92.

Bar-Sto makes one but holy shit, it's like $300 for one!    

There's one on Gun Broker for $185 or so, but I don't know if it includes the locking block or even what brand it is.

I would just get a 2nd barrel for it and have it threaded.  Then you will have 2.

Honestly Bob, I don't think you can do better then a factory barrel threaded by someone that knows suppressor threading.  Tornado is one of the best and has threaded barrels for sale.  I kept my OEM barrel and bought a spare to thread.

As good as it gets.

If you want to shop it around, factory barrels are often avialable for sale and Adco is another place that does good work.

I have a tornado technologies threaded barrel on my 92FS to run my Gemtech Multimount.

It's a high quality threading job and it fits and works perfectly.

I thought I had a picture of it in my photobucket account but it looks like the only photo I have of it right now is it sitting on my cat of all things...

I have an EFK firedragon for my PT92AF. Will fit in both the Beretta and Taurus. I ordered a 5.625" barrel, as it has to be at least 5.5" to hunt in WI.

For a while, Gemtech had a large amount of factory threaded Beretta barrels... not sure if they still do. Price was reasonable from what I recall.

Oh, I'll have two bbls. I already have 3 92's & don't wish to bugger one of my OEM bbls.

I bought a brand new factory barrel pre-threaded by Tornado technologies. It obviously drops right in and is done right.

This may well be my option if I don't do the new S&W M&P 9mm with the two bbls.

Thanks for all whom posted!
