My new threaded Glock 19 barrel arrived today. Now I'm just waiting on my C&R and August 28th so I can order a suppressor. |

The barrel is made by Lone Wolf Distributors. The threads are 1/2x28. Gemtech unoffically recommends the LDW barrels for use with their suppressors. The black barrels are $129.95, the stainless barrels are $114.95. A thread protector is sold separately for $14.95. They carry barrels for most Glock models. I'm very impressed with the quality of this product. I hope it lives up to the hype on the LDW website. |
I went down here to drop off one of these and one of these to have a little work done to the barrels to accept one of these so that after August 29th, I too will be celebrating quietly.  Also, check these guys for price after you decide which one (or more) you want. major-malfunction.com |
It's the way the weapon functions, you either must use an extremely light suppressor or use a suppressor with a recoil booster. There are several major manufacturers who manufacture suppressors that are compatible with Glock pistols. Just keep in mind you can't hang a can like an old MK-9 or sionics on one and expect it to function. PursuitSS |
Glocks (or any other autoloader that does not have a solid barrel to the frame mount) are a little more difficult to have function properly suppressed without a proper recoil "booster" or LCD or Nielsen device. I plan on getting a Gemtech Tundra for my Glocks and my Walther P-99 which have similar actions. I have used one of a friend of mine's and that combo works real good. |
I don't think there's any problem making a Glock as quiet as any other pistol. As others have written, the problem usually is getting a pistol with a moving barrel (Glock, 1911, Beretta, S&W auto, HK, etc) to cycle properly once you hang that heavy can on the end of the barrel. A "booster" device of some sort is usually required. There are a few pistols on the market that were specifically designed for use with a can and they generally work reliably without a booster. HK markets their "Tactical" line along with their behemoth Mk23 pistol as such. |

Oooohhh that SD looks so cooool. That .22LR SD has to be close to Hollywood quiet. I just picked up a GSG-5 and want to do a SBR with a muzzle treaded suppressor. |
