[IndyGunworks]

bushmaster
spikes
hk usc conversion to ump
keltec
beretta
hipoint

name some others and why they are a viable option opposed to building from scratch.

RRA.

If you have a crap ton of glock mags... the Keltec might not be a bad option. They make a version that takes Glock mags.

I'm not sure how they shoot or how they perform though

 

[Shoots4Fun]

I know the Beretta CX4 has been discussed here from time to time and was on your list. I have one and it is a terrific shooter. I love about everything about it. Ease of use, low recoil, ease of cleaning, truly ambidextrous (even easily swapped back and forth in a matter of seconds), repeatable performance, excellent finish...on and on...

The only major con is the price compared to some of the others and limited (and also high priced) accessories.

Mine would be one of the last firearms I traded or sold if it came to that...

Shooting buddy has a RRA in 9mm. It's very well put together and dead nuts reliable. I do not like the colt mags, though.

From the ones I've seen at FNS the Keltecs are accurate and functions very well.

The Keltecs come in 5 different models. GLK17, GLK19, S&W59, BERETTA92, SIG226. I have the Glock 17 version myself. I love it, it is a blast to shoot.

 

[IndyGunworks]

I want something a bit more rugged than the keltec.

i also read that the oly's dont take kahn mags, and use a mostly proprietary system which is why i hesitantly ruled them out.

 

[GlockRock]

I have a RRA 9mm. GREAT gun.

 

[DocIndy]

Build one.....Palmetto stripped lower, RRA upper and LPK and a Hahn mag block. You can put whatever furnature on it you choose. I stuck a RRA upper on an OLY lower with a Spikes mag block and it runs 100%.

 

[IndyGunworks]

I am very nervous about the mag block deal. just afraid it wont run 100 percent.

My RRA has been 100% since the day I got it. It is a dedicated 9mm, so there is no switching uppers on this one, which is a drawback for some people.

Nice Que!! I'm jealous bad, that's one good looking carbine. I'm going to have to talk to my LGS and see how much a RRA dedicated carbine will cost me.

Lone Wolf G9.

Lone Wolf Distributors - Product Detail - LWD AR-Glock Receiver Complete Carbine - $349.95

Ruger PC9. Not made anymore, but still great.

 

[TSmith]

I will second the Ruger PC9, I love mine! But I would also love a AR platform 9mm.

I agree with everything that was said here.

 

[451_Detonics]

The Masterpiece Arms Cobra carbines are robust, reliable, and accurate. The Mech Tech is another great choice if you own a Glock and the Suomi with it's 72 round drums is very nice at $400.00.

Of all I have seen my first choice would be a HK 94...very pricey. A Uzi would come in second, again pricey. I love my Mech Tech, I started with just the upper but watched gunbroker for a while and snagged a complete 17 lower for $150 and now it is dedicated to the Mech Tech. Being able to use the same mags is a plus and the Mech Tech is both very accurate as well as very reliable.

Suomi...

Masterpiece Arms...

Mech Tech...mine is a very early one, the new ones can be really dressed up...

 

[03A3]

451 have you had any issues with Suomi stick mags? I only have one and it has been troublesome. The drums are ok.

 

[451_Detonics]

in the Suomi they work fine, for some reason my MPA 71 doesn't like them tho
