Storm Lake threaded barrels for Smith & Wesson M&P handguns

[TGO David]

I thought these were mouth watering to say the least. Storm Lake is now producing threaded barrels for the Smith & Wesson M&P automatic handguns. These pictures are courtesy of a vendor over on another forum.

The gentleman who posted them reported that Storm Lake had advised that his shot groups would improve noticeably with their barrels installed. He was happy to report that this was indeed the case.

You can reach them at http://www.grtactical.com/ or you can source the barrels from your favorite supplier.

I should also note that these barrels are "drop in" replacements and that they use common 1/2 x 28 thread and that they are available in other calibers than 9mm. That particular vendor was listing them around $170 for the threaded version at the time of his post, but non-threaded are also available.

Add your favorite suppressor and you have some really cool "active hearing protection" for your next range outing.

Now somebody needs to develop a threaded compensator for the M&P...

But... that's what the big cylindrical thing is on the front of the barrel in that last picture.

I'm very interested to hear how well the M&P functions with a suppressor hanging off the barrel... they seem to have a weak battery lockup as it is, a stronger recoil spring might be in order.

aren't silencers for pistols illegal? or is that one of those other rumors i have heard?

[molonlabetn]

Silencers are legal for any firearm as long as you submit a Form 4 and $200 for a tax-stamp, and wait for approval.

Great....just what I need...one more thing I feel like I should buy that I probably could have otherwise lived without

Just need to get an AR and a 10/22 built, then buy a new safe, then get a new couch, then.....and I am ALL over this!

Yep, just down the road in Lenoir City.

They come here to "beta test" many of their barrels, some in our rental guns.

Good stuff.
