Sidearms & Scatterguns Bodyguard threaded barrel

[db2000]

Anyone know of where to get a THREADED barrel for a S&W Bodyguard .380? The interwebs are coming up empty. Lots for M&P’s but not Bodyguards. Thanks

ADCO did a a similar threaded adaptor for me a few years ago. Works well.

I’m starting to see that

I don't think there's enough meat on the Bodyguard 380 barrel to thread it. I'm measuring 0.052" thickness from grove to outer surface on mine.

Thanks for the recommendation. He said the .380 barrels are too thin to work with unfortunately. At least I know now. The idea was just for fun anyway.

You’re correct.

It would be doable if the barrel stuck out past the end of the slide like on a Beretta. Then you could put a fine thread on the outside surface (past the muzzle). There isn't enough meat for a shoulder, so you would have to make a 1/2-28 adapter that bottoms out on the end of the muzzle (like pistons do on metric threaded barrels).
