While looking for my next 1911 I found some companies offer factory threaded barrels in some models. As I have a suppressor coming soon this got me wondering how hard it is to swap out the factory barrel for a threaded replacement. Coming from Glocks all I know is 1911 barrels have to be fitted and are not a drop in item.
What is all involved with fitting a barrel? Would it be better to just get a new gun with a factory threaded barrel? |

Buy a stormlake "drop in" barrel
Its easy enough, doubtful it will actually drop in. I had to file down the hood slightly in length and width. Easy peasy. Oh its stupid accurate too, much to my surprise, and 100% reliable. Honestly I think its more accurate now than it was before, then again that barrel had a ton of rounds through it.
