USP Tacticool 45 question

[galaxius]

Is it possible to get a usp tactical then have a threaded barrel installed, as long as the barrel has a thread protector on it? Would the thread protector have to be pinned/welded?

[fritztkatt]

If it has a pin/weld thread protector I believe so, but it would definitely be an assault pistol otherwise...

Yup, the thread protector must be permanently attached to be CA compliant.

Fixed it might be hard to pull the barrel when cleaning

Yup, no way to remove barrel from slide afterward. Cleaning can still be done, but with a bit more difficulty.

[fritztkatt]

I wonder if anyone makes a mimic barrel that's knurled like a thread protector but the same OD so you could field strip it?

The easiest way would be to buy a normal USP 45 barrel and keep the threaded barrel as it is for collection/future sales purpose.

You will probably never shoot suppressed and the increased barrel length doesn't mean much.

I have a HK45 Tactical and this is what I did.
