9mm AR/AR-9 Pistol
Anyone here have a 9mm AR-15 pistol specifically the AR-9 by PSA?
I have been going back and forth for months and figure there is no time like the present however I just cannot make up my mind and hit the order button which might be a good thing I guess.
Any pro's/con's to the platform over all and what model/combination of parts are you running?Join the GOA & save $5.00. https://www.gunowners.org/mac-subs-join-goa.htm

I run a 5" AR-9 from Orion Guns in PA. Been a great and accurate gun. Eats any ammo I feed it. It is a bit gassy with the can on it though. Cost was $500 for the upper.

Re: 9mm AR/AR-9 Pistol
I have a PSA AR-9 rifle that takes Glock mags. I've had it for a little more than a year. No issues with brass or steel case ammo.
No problems with Factory Glock and Magpul mags, but had some misfeeds with a cheap Korean extended mag.
I went with Glock mags over Colt mainly because of availability.

Colt mags are readily available from multiple manufactures. But some do cost more and some cost less than Glock mags. I went Colt mag block conversion because I used a lower I already owned.

Re: 9mm AR/AR-9 Pistol
Thanks for the feedback gents.
I'm definitely going to go with a Glock 9mm set up since I am knee deep in 17,21, and 33 round mags already. Are either of you using a specific weight buffer to take recoil and eliminate bolt bounce?Join the GOA & save $5.00. https://www.gunowners.org/mac-subs-join-goa.htm

Re: 9mm AR/AR-9 Pistol
I have the combo linked below (except not the blem).....
http://palmettostatearmory.com/blem-...165447843.html
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-9...lower-blk.html
I had a few problems with the upper. It would shoot 12-18” groups at 25 yards with three different kinds of ammo, which I deemed unacceptable. Also wouldn’t run hollow points. Instead of dealing with PSA’s CS, I chose to get a BA 9mm barrel and reassemble. Well, I jacked up the shitty aluminum barrel nut and went with a VLTOR rail. Turned out great, runs with all ammo, very accurate, great truck gun. I’m not story telling to steer you away from PSA; I think they would have fixed me up, but I was impatient. The only thing I would have liked was a LRBHO lower.
This is my second AR9 and I like the caliber in the AR platform. I do shoot a ton more 9mm, though. I went with Glock mags because I have Glocks and having the choice of running anything from a 10 to 33 round mag. I also like the short, 5 inch BA barreled upper. Feels like a PDW Glock....
Pic below. Not sure why it’s not showing up.....

Re: 9mm AR/AR-9 Pistol
An ar pattern 9mm is just giggle inducing. I absolutely love my mpx and it was worth every stinking penny I’ve dumped into it

Rock River 9mm buffer and standard spring for collapsible carbine stock.
Havent had an issue that wasnt mag related yet. After about 3 different mag manufactures I found the ones that worked great. From what I researched thats kinds normal for mag block conversions to be a bit mag picky.www.Steelvalleycasting.com is your new home for coated bullets and custom ammo.
