Does anyone have any 1st hand / personal experience with the OLYARMS 9mm crbine that uses Glock Mags?
Likes, Dislikes, Issues, Problems, No problems, accuracy, durability, ETC. I have received a lot of opinions but no one has had direct experience .
Can anyone help?

Here is my experience so far.
I shoot left handed - there is some blowback on my face on ejection - unburnt powder.
over 500 rounds - good trigger - like the mags - glock 32 rounders and 17 rounders
accuracy is good out to 50 yards - Red Dot sight - have not shot past 50 yd yet
It gets dirty at around 150 rounds and starts to fail to eject. I clean the bolt carrier and upper area - then it works find for another 150 rounds. A lot of unburnt powder in the action - blowback design!
I will try other ammo (WW white box only for now) to see if it is cleaner.
No problems other than dirt issue and extraction. It is fun and fast. Great trigger for a std AR.
only about 500 rds so far - I'll up-date in the future.

I debated a while on whether to get the Oly or RRA. I hope I made the right decision. Cleaning the oly on 150 rounds sound like a pain.

Not really! Just break it open, remove bolt carrier group, spray with gun scrubber or rem oil, wipe down and relube. spry upper in boly carrier area, wipe down and relube. about 2 minutes atr the range.
i am hoping a break in period will loosen tolorences and I can find a cleaner burning round.

Update--- put another 200 rounds thru it. NO ISSUES! It did get dirt again but no failures to eject. Total round count is just over 800. It appears that it may be broken it but I will try another 200 or so before Iclean it just to see what happens.
Still using WW White Box.
