I wish I could go back in time and buy a factory G19 threaded.
Gen4 G19 FDE: $600
Storm Lake Bbl: $225
Trijicon Suppressor Night Sights: $125
$950 and you can buy the same thing from Glock for what? $650? Shit, I could've bought a USP 9 Tactical for that... I will say that after the first 150 rounds or so the SL barrel has been flawless and you can seriously notice the increased accuracy potential from this barrel. Not a total waste, I guess, but I'm not shooting x-ring competition. $300 would buy 1250 rounds of 9mm!

Why do the loudest do the least?
The factory threaded barrel guns are Gen 3 guns. That doesnt matter to some people, but for me, I hate the Gen 3 frame, but the change in the grip to the Gen 4 made the guns, dare I say, enjoyable to shoot.
The euro threads are a deal breaker for me. Make sure you check availability of your potential suppressor purchase before buying the new TB Glock, as euro threads are way less common.
I have never dealt with them, but Capitol Armory has a suppressor ready Glock 19 and can for $995 (3 cans at that price, others bump up the price).
Based on the price of a GM9 at Silencershop at $535, you would be getting the G19 for $460.

I don't know if they're still around, but if you could pick up a TiRant 9 for $348...that's what I would get and go from there.
So, I'm normally an OEM guy and try to use factory components for the major parts in my guns. In the case of threaded barrels, I've been going the aftermarket route in my European guns due to the left twist threads that come with OEM barrels. I'm not a big fan of connecting devices in series that alternate twists because tightening one loosens the other. For example, after long strings of fire I must tighten the suppressor on my KKM threaded barrel. Since its right handed twist, I'm also tightening down the booster/Nielson device that is also right handed. If I used a OEM barrel that is left handed twist, I'd be unscrewing the booster; not a fun 2-handed proposition when dealing with hot components. For those of you using OEM Glock (or Sig or HK) barrels, do you find it hard to tighten the suppressor on the threads without unscrewing the booster/Nielson device? Is this an issue for you?

I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
I can't imagine tightening a can onto a barrel with enough force to loosen the booster from the tube. Install until it makes contact, back it off a hair, snap wrist to snug it up. (Obviously making sure you've snugged the pieces of the suppressor together before installing)
FWIW...the LH threads will most likely result in the suppresses loosening less often.
That being said, I run LWD RH threaded barrels on all my Glocks.
