You will probably have to buy a complete gun with threaded barrel to get what you want. S&W is selling so many of these pistols, they're not likely to sell parts yet. I did this but it took a while to find a non-camo threaded barrel.
Coincidentally, I just called S&W and asked about this a few days ago. The S&W rep says that Volguartsen sells the S&W OEM barrels. I don't see them listed on their website though. You probably have to ask, since Volquartsen no doubt wants to push their own barrels over the OEM barrels.
The S&W rep told me to call Volquartsen on this number:
712-792-4238
I have not gotten in touch with Volquartsen yet. I tried calling once, but the recording said they are closed by 5:00pm central time. I haven't been off work early enough to try calling back.
If you call, and get a price, please post it here. I'd like an OEM threaded barrel as well, assuming the price isn't too high. IMHO, the Volguartsen barrels are priced too high. They're nice, no doubt, but from what I've read its mostly cosmetic that you're paying for, and they really aren't any more accurate than the OEM barrels. Basically, I just want a slightly longer barrel. I thought an OEM threaded barrel with TandemKross muzzle brake on it might do the trick. I did extensive side-by-side testing of my Victory against a Buckmark Hunter (a very nice pistol too). The Buckmark had less muzzle flip, and I was wanting to emulate that with my Victory. Longer barrel, or barrel with brake might do the trick. The muzzle flip is not enough of a difference between the Victory and the Buckmark for me to consider the Volquartsen barrel at the price they're asking for it.

Looks like great minds think alike. That is exactly why I was looking for the OEM threaded barrel. The Volquartsen barrels are nice but like you said they are definitely overpriced IMHO. I will try to give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. Will definitely post the results when I find out.

They close at 1630 Central - missed them, will try again tomorrow.
Anyone have any luck with a factory threaded barrel, while I am spinning my wheels here?
