hey everyone, i did a search on some 1911 forums and didnt turn up much so i figured i would post this question here. does anyone know where i can pick up a good quality 1911 barrel that has threads on it to mount either a gemtech or awc .45 cal suppressor?
edit: mods feel free to move this thread if i placed it in the wrong part of the forum.
If you’re willing to spend this much, check out Barsto.
I’ve got an unused one from Storm Lake that is sitting in a parts box.
I shot a suppressed 1911 a few weekends back. It had a jarvis drop-in barrel.
If you want excellent quality, Barsto is the way to go but you will probably have to wait. Also, good 1911 barrels are not drop-in, they really need to be fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. barsto offers this as a service.
I purchased a Stormlake barrel and have been very impressed. I have purchased other barsto barrels and they were great too, but the wait for them is very long.
The Stormlake barrel was only 2-3 weeks wait, my last barsto was 8-9 months.
As mentioned, Jarvis is also an option, but my next 1911 barrel will be a Stormlake.
thanks for the great info on the barrel guys. i appreciate it.
