Pistol setup flash light extended barrel

[clutchy]

So i'm a little pissed off right now. I had my plans all setup for my poser threaded barrel and flashlight on the G17...

come to find out that evidently a threaded barrel is a no no b/c threads are evil.

I was going to setup my firearm like this.

to reduce the blast on the light and like I said i'm a poser and i think the threaded barrel looks cool.


going to have to rethink this... any advice?

Just get an extended one?

yeah i guess...

I was looking at lone wolf and didn't immediately see a 5" or so barrel for the 17. I'll have to look a little more.

it just pisses me off that threads are evil... it's just so stupid.

If you really want the look, you could permanantly attach the thread protector to your barrel. I believe you would no longer be able to remove the barrel from the slide for easy cleaning.

yeah i thought about it but it's a no go. I like form but i'm not willing to sacrifice function so i can be a mall ninja...

Believe it sticks out 1" from stock 17.

If your willing you can always get a threaded barrel but grind the threads away so you still have the extension, just not the "evil" threads.

Can't you just get a G34 barrel?

damnit!!

as a previous poster mentioned i might try to grind the threads off and work out a way to get the protector.... gah i can't do it. A thread protector to protect non-existent threads...

I want a 5 in. barrel b/c it just doesn't extend too far. IMO 6" is just too long for the gun.
