I sent an email over to Storm Lake Barrels today regarding a possible 1/2x28 TPI barrel for the 9mm Shield. I am trying to gauge interest so that I can forward this information to them. This way they can have an idea of the market for such a barrel. Please chime in if you would be interested. Also, please note any pricing or other suggestions for them, as I will link this post in a future email.
Mods, If this is in the wrong place, please move as deemed appropriate. I want to try to assist the community with a new product if possible. Thank you everyone for your support. |

Quoted: Quoted: Why 1/2 X 28? Use same thread as the factory extended threaded. Commonality would probably sell more. I might be interested in one. Because thats the only thread pattern S&W sells anymore. Just because a manufacturer made a bonehead move doesn't mean we have to follow. Heck - I'd already have one if they'd have used the thread pitch ALL my other 9mm stuff uses. |

What thread are you using? All my 9mm stuff is in 1/2x28. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE that S&W sells a reasonably prices threaded barrel.. but I rather despise the fact that they chose the HK metric threading and the Gemtech adapter drawings instead of the more standardized industry values.

1/2x28 is the only thread pattern S&W makes anymore.
They started with the metric threads, but have discontinued that barrel. Call them. The barrels are $134 for 1/2x28, and last I checked, they were in stock too. I ordered two, had them in a week....and I placed my order 2 weeks ago. Quoted:

COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL I'm going to own one of those sooner than later. (the last time I called, all they had were the reverse metric ones)
