PSA 1/2X36????

[JDIllon]

Anybody else wish that PSA would change to 1/2X28 threads on their PCC barrels??

[IHMSA15151]

Are other manufactures 9mm barrels threaded 1/2-28? I'm only familiar with the PSA PCC's but thought all 9mm barrels where that thread size. Mainly so you didn't screw on a .223 brake by accident.

I have a stoner that is 1/2-28. I remember reading a cautionary statement somewhere about installing a .223 brake on their pcc barrel.

They probably do it for liability to keep some numb nut from installing a .223 brake. The numb nut they are protecting may be their assembly people.

Folks like Spinta offer them in both threads.  Shooter's choice.

Jim, Just switch the barrel to a Taccom.

I know, I know. I should have held off on the second barrel and got the Tacom. My Bad.  JD

The Ruger is 1/2X28 also, I think that quite a few are making the switch. JD

I like the AR platform.  I have both the ULW and Feather weight Barrels if you want to try one of mine.  My Feather weight is my USPSA PCC and my ULW is my Steel Challenge PCC.

I like the AR also that is why I am going to sell the Ruger. I'm just sorry that I bought the 2 PSA uppers instead of 1 PSA and 1 Tacom.  JD

My Rainer Arms barrel is 1/2x28

Not to get too far off topic, but is there a significant difference in weight between the Feather Weight and ULW barrels? I'm assuming it stands for "ultra light weight".

Not a huge difference in weight, but the the ULW is a 5" barrel pinned and welded to be 16" whereas the featherweight is a 13" tension barrel pinned and welded to be 16"

Don't own, and have not shot a ULW (kinda have an issue with having my hand out past the end of the barrel) but I am sure am digging my new Feather weight barrel.

JP is 1/2x36.

[Beef15]

Ballistic Advantage offers both.

I think 1/2x36 is more common looking at the 9mm muzzle devices available.

 

The only plus to 1/2x28 IMO is using pistol cans.

[JDIllon]

I purchased a small 1/2X36 to 1/2X28 adapter and it works great on the AR's.  And you are correct, I am using a pistol can.  JD

I know both Fortis and Shooting innovations make 1/2" 36 stuff
