Glock OEM threaded barrel for Glock 19 - Gen 5 vs. Gen 3 - Question

[drobs]

drobs - Never heard that before, but it doesn't mean you are wrong. Can you explain why it's better to use the same barrel/suppressor combination from the same manufacturer, vs. using a Glock OEM threaded barrel and a suppressor from whatever other company. After all, I would think that if a suppressor won't function properly with a Glock OEM barrel, it may not be that good of a suppressor.
Thanks

Baffle hits / that damage the suppressor are the main reason / concern. Using the suppressor company's barrel, the threading should be perfect. If for some reason the threading is off (not concentric) on an aftermarket barrel I could see the suppressor manufacturer requiring the user to pay for them to repair the suppressor.

I think you would be fine with a Glock OEM threaded barrel though. What are you gonna use it for?

drobs - Thinking about getting a suppressor, just for fun. (No definite decision yet.) Since I have both a G19 Gen 3 and G19 Gen 5, I thought it might be cost-effective if I could buy one threaded barrel to fit both, in case I want to swap the suppressor back and forth. That was the purpose of my original question.
The answer seems to be, "it depends who you ask."
I did call Glock today. They strongly recommended that I stick with the Gen 5 threaded barrel in my Gen 5, and the Gen4 barrel in my Gen 3. They said that the lugs have slight differences, in addition to the sloped barrel hood on the Gen 4 barrel.
Turns out I had forgotten that I have an OEM G19 Gen 5 and OEM G19 Gen 3 non-threaded barrel, so I compared them. And indeed, besides the slight ramp on the front of the Gen3 barrel hood, the lugs do have some slight differences. Do they affect function? Again, depends on who you ask.
Since I am probably only going to use the suppressor on one gun or the other, I think I am going to take Glock's advice, and just buy one (either the Gen 5 or Gen 4).

I would just get 1 threaded barrel.

In general threaded pistol barrels are kind of annoying. You need to occasionally check the thread protector for tightness. You have to account for the added length with holsters. To carry a pistol with the suppressor mounted you need a special holster and a weapon light.

I have this one.

On that annoying note, pistol suppressors are kind of annoying too. Suppressors can get to something like 900F - which is HOT! You don't want to grab that suppressor and check for tightness after firing a couple mags through it. You definitely don't want that suppressor touching your skin or body. I have BBQ glove for checking tightness.

I found a tri-lug mount on a pistol caliber carbine - my Ruger Pc 9 to work the best.

I have no trouble using my Rugged Obsidian Nine on my Combat Armory threaded barrels.

Thanks. Actually my plan, if I do get a suppressor, is to be able to use it on both my G19 and my Ruger PC Carbine 9mm. Both just for fun.
