So I just purchased a LWD 40-9 Conversion Barrel for my G27, and made sure it was black with no markings. Unfortunately, I didn’t do the same thing for the thread protector I ordered for it, and now have a stainless thread protector hanging off of an all black gun. This is unacceptable for a anal retentive shooter like myself!
So I reaaalllly want to take it out this weekend and shoot it, but I can’t possibly look like Travis Haley if I have a mismatched thread protector. I live in DFW, and am looking for a 1/2x28 black thread protector that can get in my hands by Friday. Is there any place in DFW that sells any? Does anyone have one they would overnight to me? Am I being too much of a pre-madonna and just need to Krylon this bitch flat black?
My only issue with the krylon route is that its nearly half the cost of a thread protector and it will undoubtedly come off and look stupid eventually. HELP!
A silver thread protector isn’t the end of the world and won’t ruin a range day or two. Order a black one and sell the silver one once the black one comes in.
Frankly, this is topic is hardly worthy of a thread.
Tuck, I’m SO SORRY to ruin your day. After reviewing the other threads in the semi-auto handgun section I realized there are much more important discussions to be had, like which 9mm compact “recoils” more, or whether or not the gen 3 trigger bar will actually work in a gen 2 Glock despite it being ok’d from an armorer. Sorry, dude. I hope your evening gets better.
If anyone knows of a place in DFW that stocks black 1/2x28 thread protectors, I would be very grateful for a recommendation.
