For those interested, received email from Bar-Sto today that they are now taking orders for P320 barrels, including the long-awaited 9mm FS threaded barrel. But, I still have about 3 more months until my NFA stamp is approved for my Griffin suppressor. One step at a time, I guess.

Hoooly smokes. Thanks, I now know where to get either ported or threaded barrels in 357SIG for a full-sized 320. Hmmm, ported or compensated, ported or compensated...

We will be stocking these. We are just trying to determine which P320 barrels will have the highest demand: caliber, extended, ported and threaded.

Please feel free to post your preferences.

Why can't Bar-Sto just make an actual drop-in barrel? My two "semis" for Glocks weren't anywhere close to drop-in ready and required fitting; both sold off and alternatives from KKM and others were brought in instead.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want a tighter fit for a very light bit of work that can be done with a simple file.

Wow. I thought the biggest complaints had to do with fairly recent "short chamber" issues on the Bar Sto pistol barrels.

Was it Bar-Sto drop in barrels that had short chambers and for what guns?

No 45 options. Compact threaded in 578x28, M16x1 LH or RH don't care, just please make it.

I'm glad someone finally came out with a threaded barrel option for the full size, but that price

Simple: fear of screwing it up. Been there, done that (with other aspects beyond barrels). Spend all that moola, it would be nice to have it 'plug-n-play' so to speak, and not have to bother my go-to smith buddy with even more of my money, or yet another bottle of Macallan's. And besides, KKM barrels shoot damn accurately without any of that fuss of additional fitting.

Man, wish I could remember. It may have been a post where Robert Burke finish chambered some pistol barrels.

There was also a thread about some minor QC issues fairy recently. Bar-Sto has always had a great reputation for quality and accuracy. I would expect nothing less than a perfect barrel from them considering prices and reputation

Are full sized oem threaded barrels not available?
