9mm 1911 threaded barrel

[dave29]

I'm on the verge of buying a SA RO in the 4" 9mm variety, but I want to have a source for a threaded barrel before I order it.

I see semi-custom drop ins for the full size variety, but nothing for this length.

Is this something I will have to send to a smith to have a standard government barrel cut down to 4.75", threaded, and fit to my gun?

Take a look at storm Lake. You may have to call them,.

Been there/ done that. They only have full size government barrels for 9mm.

Send your barrel to Adco or Tornado Technologies and have them weld an extension on to your barrel. That's probably going to be he only way to source one

Nah, I'd have a smith cut a 5" barrel down and thread it before I would do that. Looks like there is a company called Barsto that makes the barrel I want, albeit expensive at $315 just for the barrel and thread protector. The only thing that worries me is the fit.

There's more to it than just cutting down a 5" barrel...the entire barrel would need reprofiled as the end is larger for lockup and thinner for clearance during tilt. You would then need a custom way way undersized bushing to be fit. It can be done. Barsto won't drop in either. The hood and lugs will need fit

Call them. They are one of the best in the business.

Why would you not have 2 of the best companies for extending and threading barrels do the work?
