My 9mm AR pistol build

[OneBadV8]

Handgun rounds in general are not exactly "effective", especially compared to 5.56 and ESPECIALLY against armor.

9mm will go through interior walls more effectively than a 5.56 round.

9mm will go through interior walls more effectively than a 5.56 round.

So, what? you're making a case against 9mm bc it will easier penetrate walls and injure your neighbor or family member? You honestly believe 9mm will do more damage to armor or flesh than 5.56?

No, I'm making the case that bad guy #1 is behind a wall and instead of exposing my body for him to get a shot on me, if I had a 9mm I could punch a few rounds through the wall.

I'm not the one arguing ballistics in a build thread. You made the statement handgun rounds weren't effective compared to 5.56 rounds. I was just pointing out that they were more effective in one scenario.

Besides, we all know most bad guys that do home invasions are covered in body armor

C'mon people. If you want to keep arguing start a thread about it.

PSA upper will probably be next. I still haven't decide 100% on the hand guard.

Considering these two at the moment-
CMMG Revolution

Samson Evolution

I like the look of the CMMG better of those two. I also like the new Troy rails

Should I just follow the trend and get the same HG as you and Doug?

 

[OneBadV8]

If you want too, its your rifle/pistol. Get what YOU want. Its good to have options. The new Noveske NSR will probably go on one of mine when it finally comes out.

I chose the the Samson Evolution forearm.

You know... I think I changed my mind. The Samson looks a lot like the Troy Rail.

Who knows... You should try to see 'em both in person if that's possible, otherwise good luck

I think I'm leaning towards the Samson......

I like the NSR also, but the slots look a little odd to me.

Just want to emphasize a few of these points. I'm pretty sure you can't have a buffer tube that'll allow a stock to be put on (Intent to build) and it could never have had a buffer tube that allowed a stock to be put on. So you can't build a pistol after the lower has been built as a rifle.

Also, Vertical foregrip is a big no no however the ATF has said that the Magpul AFG is ok on a pistol. Reference letter - https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...YTg1MC00NzVhLWI3NmMtZDRiNTMzNzdhMzUx&hl=en_US

^^^^^all true

Can't wait to see the uneffective finished product lol

But seriously I can see how this would be more cost effective than 5.56.

Well just to keep you going, here is how mine turned out.

I picked up a BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle from Primary Arms, Red Dot Sights, Holosights, Rifle Scopes, Sights and Accessories. More than 90 brands in stock! Trijicon, EOTECH, Magpul and More!. They are $35.99 until March 18th.


I updated the OP with my new purchases and total.

i think the samson with the silencer tube sticking out the front would really lookjust my opinion.

i have a 223 pistol and considered building a 9mm out of it but enjoy having an additional weapon that shoots same ammo as some of my other guns.

Question: So, i sent pics of my 9mm pistol build with a 10.5" uppper to an out-of-state buddy. He sends me a notation to Indiana stating that a pistol must have a maximum overall length of 26". I'm under that by maybe 0.5" but... is that right???

The IC says a gun is considered a pistol if the barrel is less than 16" OR has an OAL of less than 26". Once I get off my phone and get to a real computer I'll post the IC.
