This is often a no-win situation. 9mm barrels are threaded with many different thread patterns depending on the manufacture; 1/2-28, 1/2-30, 1/2-36, 5/8-24, 13.5mmx1LH.
My suggestion is to set it up on the host you want to potentially permanently pair it with and then start looking for the...
Magnumite, notice I said "Some civilians will base their purchases not on the intended usage but their perception of the firearm. It can be that it is used by a famous law enforcement agency like the FBI, that it was in a video game, or media press about it." I specifically said SOME civilians...
I was not saying that police following the FBI is based on perception, but civilians that then do. Police departments taking advantage of the scientific analysis done by a federal agency is logical and expected. A police department and the FBI are going to have effectively the same application...
That is the best option, but many newer shooters just buy on the perceived reputation, like military or police usage.
Perception plays a big role, just look at the patterns of police departments following the FBI.
The big issue with the 10mm and 45 is the grip size from a double-stack magazine being too large for persons with smaller hands to grip. Not having a good grip and higher recoil don't mix well.
That is why Glock produced the small frame versions and then the gen 4 & 5 modular grip sizes.
885 meters per second would translate to 2903.54 feet per second so approximately 100 feet per second below rated muzzle velocity for m2 ball.
So I would say it is a reasonable range of test velocities.
I have found that 40's are snappier as well. This is primarily for Glocks, from the 40 being shoved into a 9mm platform with no adjust for the greater impulse. Glock only addressed this with the gen 5 40cal guns by building them on the 45 gap platform instead of the 9mm.
I don't have a...

Requires an inch of the material to stop and M2 AP round so while better material than homogenous steel it can't replace it for some applications.
For the last couple of years, the 40 sales have been based around law enforcement and they have been switching over to 9mm following the FBI's lead. Civilian sales of new 40 cal handguns have been suppressed by the number of police trade in guns. Prior to the COVID surge, trade-in 40s were going...
Like Firemn260 said, 18" is probably a reliable length to go down to. I have a cmmg that is factory configured with a rifle length gassed 18" heavy barrel.
I have been considering that for my tavor x95. Switch from the 18.5" barrel with pin and welded comp to a shorter barrel with a pin and welded suppressor.
