New Smith & Wesson M&P 45 Threaded Barrel From Silencerco

With all the police trade-in Smith & Wesson M&P 45 handguns floating around on the market, I have been pretty tempted to pick one up as a suppressor host. With the used guns on the market at around $350, adding a threaded barrel from Silencerco or another vendor is easy and keeps the whole package under the $600 mark.

Where To Find It

Silencerco M&P 45 Threaded Barrel – $167.99 at Brownells

Silencerco has been building the threaded barrels for popular Glock models, the VP9, and the 9mm variant of the M&P for a while now with good results. Users seem to be reporting increased accuracy with little to no decrease in reliability.

The new barrel is spec’d out to offer a drop-in solution for just about any common .45 suppressor on the market. Made from 416R stainless steel and coated with black nitride, the new threaded barrel should be as good, if not better than the barrel that came in your M&P.

SPECS
Caliber: .45 ACP
Twist: 1:16 LH
Thread Pitch: .578×28
Barrel Length: 5.18”
Finish: Black Nitride
Material: 416R Stainless

Ships with custom SilencerCo thread protector.

With the introduction of the new barrel, Silencerco is making it hard to settle on a suppressor host. Every time I seem to have it figured out, a new barrel option becomes readily available. If you want to learn more about the new option from Silencerco click HERE, the barrels are available no on their website as well as many retailers for an MSRP of $226.
