    I used to not understand what they were talking about in the new England thread when they started going on about guns, so I just pretended it was models of vibrators

    question, handgun with threaded barrel or not. hypothetically CZ P-07. does having the threaded barrel increase accuracy or the gun, due to longer barrel? ( I know it is threaded to add a suppressor) I think yes, but by how much? how much longer is a threaded barrel vs. regular. assume standard 3.75" stock length.

    edit.... 4.3" for the threaded barrel ... +0.55"

    Threaded barrel if you want to run a silencer but that's it. The difference in length is going to do nothing for you in the way of accuracy.

    No. In fact, it’s often the opposite. Shorter barrels have less flex given all other factors are equal, and therefore have greater potential accuracy. Longer slides are often more accurately shot due to the sight radius.

    Unless the tolerances of the threaded barrel are better suited to your carry ammo than the OEM barrel...

    The gun is more accurate than you are so an extra half inch doesn't matter.


    That's not what she said

    My apologies Sir,

    Just doing some target shooting with a S&W Victory .22LR I bought recently. I put an inexpensive red-dot optic on it and was getting it dialed in using some CCI, ELEY, and Federal ammo.

    At the end of the day my happy meter was pegged!

    Got to take apart 3 of 6 M1's at my American legion post. They are pretty easy to fields strip. First time messing with them tonight, they needed cleaning really bad. Going to take apart the other 3 tomorrow.

    I bought a $30 field sport off ebay, its on a 300 blackout but its worth every penny. It has held zero so far which is about 100 rounds. I may have to try one on my turkey/coyote set up. Let us know how the UTG holds up. I have a few of their scopes and have never had an issue even on a 300 win mag.

    Just an FYI, every now and them you can find a slightly used (battle worn from the sandbox) Aimpoint Comp M2s on eBay for around $300. I've bought about a half dozen of them over the last 10 years. Never had an issue with any of them.
