    Anyone have any experience with this particular firearm? Pros and cons of getting one with a threaded barrel....
    Ammo that runs well in it?

    I'm reading a million different things on the internet. lol

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have the threaded version and fire it with and without a suppressor. I've tried the following: Gemtech subsonic, Federal bulk, Remington Golden bulk, Winchester Xpert HV HP non-plated (no longer made), Aquila std and HV, Remington std velocity, Centurion HV HP & solid point. *Gemtech shot the smallest groups, but I'll simply copy a note I put in my M&P 22 Compact's file:

    "ACTUALLY, NOTHING SHOT BAD & VARIOUS HV SHOT CANS JUST FINE AT 12YD"

    Easy to take apart and clean. Rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation. No failures of any kind so far in shooting a thousand rounds. * = same point of impact with and without a suppressor and Gemtech ammo. Even high velocity ammo doesn't break the sound barrier, so is good to shoot suppressed. Of course different ammo will not all shoot to the same impact point, but close enough for plinking. For example, when sighted in with Gemtech, Aquila HV hits 1/2" to the left at 12yd. It is not a "target" pistol; I use it for shooting a steel plate and cans. I have no complaints about it.
