Jelloman4571647545499 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Finish .224V in the next month, find builder or company to redo my 11-87 Premier, and shoot more distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Utilize my range as much as possible. Begin attending classes. Finish the 6.5 CM AR10 I've been building. Buy a Glock 19. Build an AR9. Buy a larger safe and work on filling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted January 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Anyone not running an AR9 or having not shot one, you are missing out. Absolutely one of the most fun guns I have shot for the money. There are several makes out there, but when set up to take Glock mags, I think it's great to pair up with a 9mm Glock.

Diamonds Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Suggestions for what to use for a build? I might be swayed to make a poor financial decision here... buy a dedicated lower that takes 9mm mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apples to oranges, but I had a Hi Point 9mm carbine years ago that I enjoyed immensely, let alone the amount of enjoyment possible from a higher quality firearm. Putting an AR9 together seems like a great way to get more rounds down range cheaply, as well as satiate the desire to build and tinker.

Dammit Charlie Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 If anyone needs an AR9 barrel, LMK. I've got a Ballistics Advantage 16" I'm likely not going to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Yeah, an AR9 is lol at the prices of most that I've seen. No more fun than a HP 995ts for WAY more money. I like a good 9mm carbine but I wouldn't pay that much (I haven't seen a LOT of them to be fair) for one personally. ...maybe that's another thing I'm just too poor to see the value in.

Dharris89 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 The CZ Scorpion is a lot of fun play with as an alternative to an AR9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I love my Scorpion great fun range toy. Kind of regretting getting rid of my "pistol" version for the carbine. but it does preform better. Just miss the compactness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Isn't the scorpion pricey in comparison as well? Never bought, shopped, or shot one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Not the most budget friendly 9mm carbine or "pistol" for sure. Pretty much going to be $800-$1200 or more depending on what one you are looking at and what is included. Fun little guns and very well made though. I highly recommend both the pistol/carbine. Haven't shot the newer "Micro" version but I assume it handles very similar to the pistol variant honestly. It looks cool but don't really see it as a major upgrade over the regular pistol version.

Mojoe Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Yikes, I stepped away from here a minute and didn't see all the AR9 interest. Alex, my reply was not targeted to your post, it just came after your post. Here's all I'm saying on the AR9 or 9mm "rifle/carbine" configurations. It is simply a fun shooter. There are dozens of more practical guns for people to buy. I got into my AR9 for a few hundred and had no real quality or accuracy expectations. Around Christmas, 3 years ago, Palmetto State Armory was running a deal on a lower that came with 40 Glock mags. That's a fuck ton of Glock mags, even if they were not from Glock. The lower was $2xx. The upper was on sale too for around $300, so I bought them. Changed out the butt stock and threw a Vortex red dot on there that I had laying around, and damn if I don't shoot that thing all the time. I have not had a failure with it either. I was expecting sub par performance and accuracy. I'm hitting "rabbit size" targets at 90 yards, with a 9mm and a dot, with no magnification. I have thousands of rounds through it now and have upped it to considering it a reliable gun. Likely would be the wife's go to gun if needed. Other AR's are not "fun" for her. Percussion, recoil and weight are all factors that many ladies dislike. Hell, originally I said it was her gun so she would shoot and not have all those factors. Now, well I'm just keeping it dialed in. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-gen4-16-9mm-1-10-lightweight-m-lok-classic-rifle-5165450028.html I have shot the Scorpion and man, that's a fun gun! The cost and "pistol" aspect of it have kept me from owning one. I've messed around with a few drills, transitioning from the AR9 to a Glock pistol. There is something to be said for one round for the pistol and rifle. The limits of the 9mm round are what they are. Essentially this configuration was what the UN wanted with the request for a round that could be fired from the rifle and pistol. The FN5.7 and the PS90 brought that together, but it didn't take hold as they had hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a fun shooter and the price is not terrible. I only did a quick look into them. Threaded barrel is great. The pistol thing just isn't a world I have played in. Need these damn ATF grey areas to go away. Let us have SBR's and suppressors without the paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelloman4571647545499 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Build with a Glock mag compatible AR lower. The use SMG mags as well and they are rather expensive. So if you have a G19, G17, G34 or 33 round mag, you will be able to use what you already have. I built an AR9 with a Quarter circle 10 lower when QC first came out. Now, lower and upper sets are dirt cheap so it would be easier to build. I have a Green Mountain 10.5 barrel that shoots amazing for cheap. If you want something that is truly fun to shoot B&T SMG APC9 SD that has an integrated suppressor setup from the factor. Great shooting, nice little package for $2800.00.

KillJoy Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 The Ruger PC Carbine is another option for a 9MM Carbine. It can also take Glock Mags, which is nice. It's been VERY fun, and is rather inexpensive to use. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikka is a great choice. Out of the box one of the best factory guns that I've shot. If not, get a cheap 700 action and send it to Short Action up north. They will get you set up with an amazing rifle for a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 thank to my dad, anthony green, and just wanting to have something other to spend money on than just cars, ive been on a gun buying spree lately lol. ive had a 10/22 for a few years and picked up a kel tec pf9 off of paul brower about a year ago for a carry gun. in the last 3 months though ive picked up a m&p sport 2 ar 15, mossberg/maverick 88 12 gauge shot gun, springfield 1911 a1 legend edition with a bomar (sp?) rear adjustable sight and a fiber optic front, and just a couple days ago i decided to upgrade my carry gun and picked up an m&p shield 9mm m2.0.
