Where can I pick one up?  I have heard that there is not enough meat on the end of the barrel to reliably thread for a suppressor, and was looking for a longer, properly threaded barrel that would mount a suppressor.

I got one of these for my 92FS M9A1 and it works like a charm with the Gemtech Trinity I use.  Jarvis was pretty quick about service and shipping.

Edit: Don't forget the locking block & plunger.  You can find it other places for less than the $80 Jarvis charges
Assuming you want to have 2 fully functional barrels.

Otherwise? Send your factory barrel to a competent gun smith and have the factory barrel threaded for less than 1/2 the price.

Not true. The Beretta is one of the few that you can use the factory barrel. I sent my bbl and slide to GemTech and they threaded it for my Vortex 9 can. If you want a Jarvis or other good aftermarket barrel that's fine, but the factory tube works perfectly. Now I don't know about other suppressor manufacturers and their products, but there's plenty of meat on a factory tube for a GemTech.

Sent my factory M9 barrel and slide to Gemtech for my Trinity, and had it back in under a month.

What does Gemtech charge for this service?

Why are you guys sending the slides along with the barrels?

This just allows Gemtech to thread the barrel such that the suppressor threads right up against the slide with a minimal amount of space between the two.  Really it’s more of an ascetics factor than anything else.

Thanks.  The reason I asked is I've also hear the Beretta barrel was a smidge too short, and some shops were milling out a recess in the forward face of the slide to make a little more room for the suppressor.  Didn't make much sense to me, but I figured I'd ask.
