No I will not be shooting suppressed, not for a couple years any way. Too many other things on the get before that list. For the moment, it's just because I like the way threaded barrels look. I know I know, pretty stupid reason lol. I do prefer the longer barrels too though. However, I don't know if the benefits from a slightly longer barrel's velocity makes a real world difference or not, but I do prefer all I can get out of my pistol velocity wise. To put threads on a barrel seems like it would be fairly easy. I wonder about the process of would it need to be refinished too after the threading is done.
