M1911A1 Threaded Barrel?

[Swing]

Hey pals. I think my next NFA investment is going to be a large .45 can to run on a M1911 (.45 ACP) and a Glock (.40 S&W). Any recommendation on an aftermarket, drop in, threaded barrel for a full-size 1911? I see a number of options, but thought I'd toss it out there.

Thanx.

There are mixed reports on the use of cans on recoil operated auto pistols. Some folks have no problems at all, others report the extra weight affects functioning.

I don't have any issues shooting my SIG P220 Combat with an AAC Ti-RANT attached. Nielsen devices are common in pistol suppressors these days and they do a great job of allowing the slide to move rearward and the barrel to unlock without the weight of the suppressor causing problems. I've shot hundreds of rounds suppressed through my SIG without any cleaning and zero malfunctions. I'll admit that I was expecting some issues.

I'm also looking for a good threaded barrel for a 1911.

Yup and the can I am planning on acquiring this week or next is so equipped.

I'm seeing a number of third party offerings for threaded 1911 barrels, but I'd value any first hand experience info. Thanks.

Both the full size 1911 .45 and Glock 22 are well proven suppressor hosts.

As long as things are kept reasonably clean (they get dirty FAST with a can), there shouldn't be any issues.

Lone Wolf barrels are pretty nice, I have several and they function well with my Opspey .45 can.

Thanks, TIMC. I'll check it out.

For 1911 barrels check out Storm Lake. And I agree on the Lone Wolf, I have one on my G17 and G19.

I've a couple of threaded Storm-Lake 1911 barrels, but 1911 barrels are unlikely to "drop-in" minor fitting was required for all mine.

The Glock and M&P threaded barrels were all "drop-in"

As to function, tilting barrel designs pretty much always need the "recoil booster" or "recoil decoupler" aka Neilsen device.

I don't think Lone Wolf makes a 1911 barrel but Storm lake is decent I also have one of the cheap Swenson barrels on a 1911 that has functioned flawlessly.
