The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - are suppressor threads universal from brand to brand?

While there's no real "standard" most calibers use the same threads (with some exceptions. For example, all of the .22's I've seen are 1/2x28 as well as 9mm Glock's and M&P's. However- some of the other brands in the same caliber will use LH threads or a 3-lug mount.

However, most suppressor companies offer pistons in several different thread pitches. That way you can have a .45 can and to run it on a 9mm gun all you have to do is swap the piston to the one with the correct pitch.

To answer your question a little more directly, I have the Gemtech thread adapter that fits walther p22's and the M&P .22. Pretty sure that's what you're talking about and it's 1/2x28. MOST (if not all) dedicated 22 long rifle cans will work on that.

Edit to add:
From TacSol's website:
"Available with or without flutes in a standard barrel or threaded end barrel** in ½” x 28 TPI."

MANY rimfire suppressors, all of which are 1/2x28.

Hope that all helps.
