Do they make a thread adapter to go from 16x1 LH to .578 x 28 or should I just go ahead and buy a new piston for my suppressor? Thanks for your help!

I'd buy a new piston, any adapter is going to add some length to it and cost a fair bit of money. But you might ask TROS (http://www.trosusa.com/) if they would make you one.

Which suppressor are you using?

if you can keep from adding another piece to the puzzle, that's always the best way to go.
piston

Get a new piston.
Any adapter would need to add more than the thread length to the barrel, as you're going down 50 thousandths in diameter.

Remember: KISS

This!  Tolerance stacking is a bad idea if you can prevent it....

Thanks for the replays! The suppressor is an osprey .45. I currently use it on a sig tactical operations 1911, and my glocks 22, 23, and 27 (all with lone wolf threaded adapter barrels shooting 9mm). For the 1911 I have the .578 piston, and for the 9mm I have the 1/2 x28 piston. I recently got an awesome deal on a brand new glock factory threaded barrel for my glock 21, but it is threaded 16x1 lh. Cand decide if I want to keep the barrel and buy a piston, or sell the barrel and buy a lone wolf threaded to the piston I currently own.

Thoughts?
Side note, if anyone cold tell me how to post photos I'd love to share my toys with the thread

I'd get rid of the barrel.  seems like an odd man out and is not only going to cost you to use it, but adds more stuff to the range bag.

get an acct at photobucket.  easy as pie.  you like pie, right?

As promised. Thanks for the help, I'm pretty darn excited to contribute to all the threads I've been lurking...

Another reason to stay away from the adapter: Going from metric threading to US threading, they thread on/off in opposite directions, so no matter which way you turn the can, you will loosen one and tighten the other. I experience the same issue with my Trident 9 and a metric barrel thread mount on it. I have to tighten the mount to the barrel and the mount to the suppressor in two different steps to make sure they stay on tight. It gets annoying after a while.
