I've started perusing 1911's and I've noticed that one I'm considering comes with or without a threaded barrel. Is there any point in spending extra cash on the version with the threaded barrel in NJ?

 

Not really. I mean, you could put a brake or a comp on there if you got into competitions or something.....

 

You can always get a threaded barrel down the line if you move to a free state and want a suppressor.

You could be a member of a Trust that owns suppressors and uses them in that state.

Or you can just happen to get a good price on one that was out of stock forever and one just came in and get it just for the halibut or when you move to a free state. I just stuck one in my p229 for the halibut.

Hope.  Buy them and keep the hope alive.

Because they look baller?

For the extra velocity maybe? Or the cool factor?

If you think at some point you will be in a free state and want a suppressor, go for it now. I recently spent about $400 for 2 barrels for the suppressor I'm waiting on. Not to mention, most 1911 threaded barrels I've looked at say they will need to be fitted as opposed to a drop in. That means taking it to a smith to do some work to it. If you never plan to move, don't bother unless you really think NJ will open up to NFA items.

Of course there is. Every time you look at it you'll have a reminder to get the f!ck out of NJ.

Bought the Storm Lake barrel and it was just a drop in

What 1911 are you considering?

Assume you're talking 1911. If so, I have seen where the description says, "may require fitting". Guess you don't know til you try.

I got a Ruger 22/45 Lite last Spring, it comes with a threaded barrel. I plan on getting a suppressor for it when I move to PA.

They ain't cheap either. You pay extra for that drop in ability.

Currently…

Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced

http://1911r1.com/Products/Firearms/Model-1911-Enhanced-Threaded.aspx  (also comes without threaded barrel and in 9mm)

 

Close second…

SIG Sauer 1911 Max

http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/1911-max.aspx (.45 ACP or .40 S&W, would be the question, no threaded barrel AFAIK)

 

Two very different 1911's at two very different price points. 

 

Sadly, neither is available for rent at my home range so I can't compare. Based on reputation I'm sure the SIG is the nicer of the two, but the price of the Remington is a lot nicer and it appeals to my inner geek.

Of the two I'd vote for the Remington. But that's because I just can't get over the external extractor on Sig's.

This x100

Huh? Lots of guns have that. There is nothing wrong with them. Not every gun can be a 1911 you know.

I know, I have guns with external extractors but in my opinon I think they are ugly on a 1911. The OP is asking between two 1911's one with an external extractor and one with a traditional extractor. So I would choose the Remington based on that alone.

I guess I really never took it into consideration or why it would be a factor. Of course not seeing it and having smooth lines is a plus but the externals never really bothered me.

 

Besides External Extractor Lives Matter.

 

All kidding aside, I do love the fine smooth lines of a traditional 1911. Its a gun and look you just need to love and appreciate.

 

As for others, they are what they are.

 

I'd go traditional. No external on a 1911.

That's how I store all my guns. If a bad guy steals them and pulls the trigger he will shoot himself......it's a pain in the ass with the revolvers..........lol
