If i were you, it looks like you are going with a colt style 9mm since the beta drum---i'd get a tros 5" 3 lug barrel and build the upper yourself. That way when you get a can (you know you will) you can just get the female 3 lug adapter for the can and you'll be good to go.
Yes, I am definitely going with the colt style 9mm. I have considered building the upper myself, but I don't know how much money I would actually save. And I DO plan on getting a can. I have considered putting together my own upper, but I don't know if it's worth the time of buying all of the parts. I think that in my mind, I am just making it more complicated than it actually is. I just found the TROS site and see that they can make uppers though!
