Description
The SilencerCo Threaded Barrel for the Glock 17 is a drop-in replacement barrel built for one job: getting your pistol ready to run a suppressor or muzzle device. It's cut with a 1/2×28 thread pattern, which is the standard for 9mm cans and comps, so it plays nice with most of the mounts and pistons already out there. The barrel measures 5 inches overall with a 1:10 right-hand twist, and it ships with a thread protector already on the muzzle to keep those threads clean when you're running bare.
What Sets the SilencerCo Glock 17 Barrel Apart
This one is machined from heat-treated 416R stainless steel and finished in black salt bath nitride. That combination gives you a hard, slick surface that shrugs off wear and corrosion, which matters when you're running suppressed and dumping extra gas and fouling back into the system. SilencerCo built these because they were tired of seeing cheap aftermarket barrels with sloppy threads, and concentric threads are a big deal when you've got a can hanging off the end. Off-center threading is how baffle strikes happen, so this is not a corner you want to cut.
Fitment for Your SilencerCo Threaded Barrel
The AC864 is made for the Glock 17 in Gen 1 through Gen 4. It does not fit the Gen 5 Glock 17, so if you're running a Gen 5 you'll want the barrel made for that frame instead. Installation is as simple as any Glock barrel swap: field strip, drop it in, and reassemble. No gunsmithing, no fitting.
Running It Suppressed
Keep in mind that to actually mount a pistol suppressor you'll also need a piston or booster assembly, which is sold separately. The barrel handles the threading and the fit, and the piston handles the recoil impulse of a tilting-barrel action. Feedback from owners has been steady on this one, with plenty reporting reliable feeding across a range of ammo and clean fit and finish right out of the package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SilencerCo Glock 17 threaded barrel fit a Gen 5?
No, the AC864 is designed for the Glock 17 in Gen 1 through Gen 4 only. It will not fit the Gen 5 Glock 17, which uses a different barrel design. SilencerCo makes a separate Gen 5 specific barrel if that's what you're running.
Do I need anything else to mount a suppressor with this barrel?
Yes. The barrel provides the 1/2×28 threading, but you'll also need a piston or booster assembly to actually run a pistol suppressor, and that's sold separately. The piston handles the recoil impulse of the tilting barrel so the can functions correctly.
Is installing the Glock 17 threaded barrel a drop-in job?
It is. Swapping this barrel is the same as any standard Glock barrel change: field strip your pistol, drop in the new barrel, and reassemble. No gunsmithing or fitting is required.
What thread protector comes with it?
SilencerCo includes a thread protector with the barrel. It threads onto the 1/2×28 muzzle to keep the threads clean and protected any time you're shooting without a suppressor or muzzle device attached.
