SO...... I have this Gemtech Trinity with LID mount lying around. I no longer had a 9mm to put it on... I found a great deal on a slightly used M&P 9C the other day... Now I want to marry the two.
We dropped a full size M&P barrel into the compact and it locked up at the back end. I am told the end of the barrel needs to be slightly belled out to fit the slide. I see on the compact barrel that it is in fact a larger diameter for the last 1/2" or so. Even though it's larger in diameter there's still plenty of space between the top of the barrel and the slide.
Ideas I previously had:
Have the existing compact barrel threaded and extension installed. Knurled cap will have to be used when suppressor not mounted.
Buy full size 9mm M&P barrel and thread the end.
Buy extra compact barrel and have extension installed.
Buy an aftermarket barrel for said operation, if I can find one...
What's the path of least resistance to get this working?
