Factory threaded. 13.5x1 LH
I had a question about something like this (for a PPQ Navy, same idea)... It looks cool but would it work?
Real suppressors for handguns with tilting barrels have integral recoil-boosters (Nielsen device, etc), at least all the ones I've tried in the good ol' USA did. Without a booster apparently they won't function properly = won't cycle and eject/reload.
So will the added weight of a fake-can with no booster on a glock or PPQ prevent cycling?

Good question. How/why does the tilting barrel effect cycling versus a fixed barrel?
Kind of getting off topic here though. Does anyone know of any muzzle devices for 13.5x1 LH threading sold by Canadian dealers? I guess its a long shot.

It's just part of the lockup design, and there are a few different ones. In this particular one the tilting action is what unlocks the barrel from the slide. If you add weight to the muzzle you're basically holding down the barrel and not letting it tilt, and it won't cycle.
Adding weight to the muzzle of a Non tilting barrel like a Beretta won't make as much of a difference as the slide should still be able to cycle. And no problem on a fixed barrel like a Ruger MK3 or whatever.
I also remember that the cutoff weight for a can with no booster is 3 or 4 oz. But even that may not be reliable. So for a fake can if it's light enough it may work, but now another question; are fake cans hollow & light or solid & heavy?
My guess is solid & heavy to prevent people from screwing around with them.
