Gemtech Adapter – M&P22 / P22 / Colt 1911 (M8x0.75 to 1/2x28)
Make your .22 pistol suppressor-ready. The Gemtech Adapter converts factory M8x0.75 threads found on the Walther P22, Smith & Wesson M&P22, and Colt 1911-22 into the U.S. standard 1/2x28, letting you attach rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices with confidence. Precision-machined and finished in matte black, this adapter ensures proper alignment, protects your threads, and delivers a secure fit for reliable shooting.
Product Overview
Most .22LR pistols like the P22, M&P22, and Colt 1911-22 ship with metric barrel threads that don’t match common U.S. suppressor mounts. The Gemtech Adapter solves this by converting M8x0.75 to 1/2x28 TPI, the industry standard for rimfire suppressors.
Designed from hardened steel and finished with a durable black coating, the adapter maintains proper shoulder alignment to reduce the risk of baffle strikes. It’s compact, lightweight, and includes a thread protector for safe storage when not in use.
