Is there a way to get a permit for this?
Would like to get a suppressor for my Sig Sauer P226 Mark 25.
Highly unlikely, why would you need a silencer for a pistol ?
Your first step would be to go ask the Police/Gendarmerie
Aside from the obvious reason, I like playing with accessories: pimp my pistol, so to speak. E.g. laser sight to help train shooting without aiming.
Have a muzzle flash suppressor already but would like to take it a step further.
The frightening part is that you boast about it on a public forum. It‘s childish...
You sound insecure. Have you considered therapy?

Thank you.
Am surprised that a threaded barrel requires a special permit as another pistol in my collection (H&K Mk 23 .45) by default comes with a threaded barrel and I do not recall that being a special aspect of the process to obtain the permit to acquire that pistol.
Getting an adjusted threaded barrel for the Sig shouldn't be too difficult as they can be bought over the counter in the US.
I suggest to be really sure, bring it back cabin baggage

I've got a custom made one for my Walter PPK.
M made it for me.

Have you?

We are not in the US, and things sold there are most likely not at all legal here.

Just ignore it.
Now. Back to your gun.
I think those are banned. but if you need it just to reduce noise when shooting in your own premises, it's not hard to make a DIY version.
Just use the space between your ears, that should work nicely!

In the US, the regulated component is the receiver - the receiver is 'the' gun, and most other things are not tracked or licensed. Barrels, bolts, gas systems - pretty much any other part of a standard gun is over the counter in the US.
I don't know the exact criteria in Switzerland, but I'm given to understand that typically it is the pressure bearing components which are tracked and licensed in Europe. Under that criteria a barrel would most certainly count, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if bringing one into the country without Swiss paperwork was tantamount to smuggling in a complete gun.
Have you considered joining a local gun club? Besides providing a time and place to practice, you might find people knowledgeable about the local rules and criteria. Quite possibly, they'd have more knowledge than the typical random forum goer. Also, once they got to know you, they'd presumably be less prone to confuse you with a stereotypical out-of-control American gun nut.
For which I thank my lucky stars each and every day!
Having some adults in the picture is an excellent idea in this case.
The "obvious reason" to me would be you're thinking about a hitman apprenticeship.
