Looking for the Best .45 ACP Pistols with Threaded Barrels

General

I’m on the hunt for a .45 ACP pistol that comes with a threaded barrel, ideally one that’s suppressor-ready. I’ve been doing some research, but there’s so much information out there that it’s hard to narrow down my options.

Here are a few points I’m considering:

  • Brand Reputation: What brands have you found to be reliable for .45 ACP pistols?
  • Model Recommendations: Any specific models you’ve had great experiences with that come with a threaded barrel?
  • Upgrades & Accessories: If you’ve upgraded an existing pistol, how difficult or easy was the process?
  • Performance: I’m interested in how these pistols perform when suppressed. Are there any noticeable variances in accuracy or reliability?

A little about my needs:

I’m looking for something that balances performance and quality while also being fun to shoot. If anyone can share their experiences or recommendations, I’d really appreciate it!

I’m currently on the hunt for a reliable .45 ACP with a threaded barrel. I’ve been eyeing the Glock 21, but I’m also considering the Sig P220. Anyone have experience with these models?

You might also want to check out the HK USP45 Tactical. It comes with a factory-installed threaded barrel and is known for its accuracy and reliability.

Definitely consider the FNX-45 Tactical! It’s got a great ergonomic design and comes with a threaded barrel. The only downside is it can be a bit bulky for some users.

5

I’ve heard good things about the USP45. How does it compare in terms of recoil and noise when suppressed?

6

I own a Sig P220 and love it! It’s very reliable, but it lacks the threaded option when bought new. You might have to look into an aftermarket barrel for that.

7

Good to know! I was leaning towards aftermarkets, but any specific brands that you recommend for threaded barrels?

I recently installed an aftermarket threaded barrel on my Springfield XD. The fit was perfect, and it shoots like a dream! Just make sure to choose a good quality barrel.

What do you guys think about the Taurus 1911 with a threaded barrel? I’ve had mixed reviews and wonder if it’s worth it.

Honestly, I’ve found the Taurus to be hit or miss. Some love it, but others report reliability issues. Test it before you buy!

I think it’s essential to try a few before purchase. Personal preference plays a huge role—my .45 runs better with certain ammo than others. Don’t forget to consider that!

The best is often subjective. I’ve had a blast with my Kimber Custom II though — even got it threaded. Just understand it might be a little pricier than other options.

Absolutely! But are there any budget-friendly options that perform decently?

Have you all heard of the SIG P226 for .45? It’s supposed to be a great option with a good reputation. I’m just curious about its size and weight compared to others.

15

I’m really interested in .45 ACP pistols with threaded barrels too! I’ve had great experiences with the Sig P220. It pairs well with several suppressors. What are others using?

I’ve been using a HK .45 Tactical. It’s super reliable and the suppressor attachment is smooth. I use a Dead Air Ghost-M, and it works like a charm!

17

Hansonheather, I’ve heard good things about the Dead Air suppressors. How do they perform in terms of sound reduction? I’m curious about user reviews.

The Dead Air Ghost-M is known for its excellent sound reduction, one of the best in its class. No one will hear your shots unless they’re really close!

I’ve used the Gemtech Tracker with my Springfield XD .45. It’s quieter than expected! But I’ve read mixed reviews about the compatibility with certain threaded barrels.

That’s true! I think it really depends on the specific barrel you have. Always check the specifications before buying a suppressor. Compatibility is key!
