I just purchased a G22 and I would like to be able to attach a suppressor with 1/2X28 threads.

I have seen muzzle break kits for sale that have a threaded piece that slides on the end of the barrel. Does anyone know the thread type on these? Is there an adaptor available to convert to 1/2X28?

Is it possible to thread the barrel to 1/2X28. I have miked the barrel and it is just under .5 inches in diameter.

Has anyone threaded their barrel for a suppressor and, if so, how did you accomplish this?

some info on this post... also a link to the guys that did the work on the barrel....
the attachment for the "barrel break" that you see on the net (I have one too) will not work for a suppressor

Thanks for the reply Uncut. I won't order one of those muzzle break attachments then.

Do you know if the G22 can be directly threaded for 1/2X28 threads or will it need an adaptor like the P22?

I saw on the other thread that you were wondering about Utah laws on suppressors. I live in Provo and it was super easy to get one.

I just went into FBMG in Draper and picked out the model I wanted. I paid for it and they printed out the paperwork. Then you just have to go to the BCI building in Salt Lake to get the signature and prints. I was in and out of there in twenty minutes with my signature (not bad for a government office).

Then I mailed in the forms with a $200 check and a month later received my tax stamp.

Yes, it can be threaded in that exact pattern; however, the person who did my threading, John Noveske, had to remove the front sight post in order to do it properly. Not exactly sure why, but it wasn't a concern for me, since I am using a Zeiss Z-Point red-dot optic, but it may be an issue for you.

I have a picture of my G-22 with AAC Pilot, but it's on my home PC, and I'm at a carbine class in West Virginia at present and don't have access to it. It works rather well with the can, and my 9 year old daughter likes to shoot clay birds with it.

There is apparently a threaded barrel available for the G-22 in Europe, but I don't know of anyone who was able to import one to the US.

Regards,
Jeff

+1 on what Jeff said... there is a 20 inch and a 25 inch barrel that is already threaded available through Walther in Germany.... I had asked Earl once and he didn't sound too excited since the G22 and P22 is made by Umarex... but I think he might be the only one that could get one in... S&W for sure won't import it
BTW, I am by Layton .. but want to come down to SLC soon to go shooting at that new range that opened on Satestreet. I think it is "Get Some" that moved there.
I won't do any ClassIII stuff till my wife retiered from the Army and I don't have to worry about moving anymore

I'm glad that it can be directly threaded for 1/2x28. I was a little worried since it miked under .5 inches. I would like to see the picture of your G22 suppressed.
