    It's significantly easier to use once you get past ten or fifteen yards range.

    Perhaps, but comparing it to a standard pistol like a Glock 17 with a 33 round mag is apples and oranges. From a practical standpoint, the AR9 pistol really can't stand up. It's not something that can really be carried/holstered. Not concealable by any real measure. It *might* be better for longer range shooting, but I'm not convinced that is a realistic use case for a pistol. Good luck shooting it one handed. Just awkward all around.

    Don't get me wrong. I love my 9mm SBR and I think a pistol would be almost as much fun. I just don't see it as a viable full size pistol replacement. Just not as versatile.

    This thread needs more PCC AR gun porn.

    My contribution, a Colt pattern 4.5" 9mm:





    And the stealth toolbox case I'm working on (waiting on foam), with my new SL-K stock:
    I'm dying to know what rail this is. An actual measurement of the rail itself would be a sweet bonus and a huge time saver for me. Thanks in advance.

    Cool to see this thread still catching updates. Still looking to do a 9mm carbine. I'm sack deep in a middy right now with some cycling issues, so it'll have to be later.

    I will say it again. For serious use I think 9mm needs to be in as small a package as possible. Which means it will be with you in a small back pack or computer bag. It is better than a pistol because it is easier to shoot and get hits under stress.
    Examples of this weapon in my mind are MP5K, TP9, Mini or Micro Uzi, AR with 5" barrel max and a folding stock.

    When you get to the size of a MP5, then go with a real rifle.

    Rail is a 4" by Guntec USA I got off Amazon for under $30, I think. My email says the order was $28, but the product shows as $58. Not sure if it went up or if I had a discount. I read later that it was a blatant knock off of a more popular brand (Troy, maybe) and people were bashing those that purchased them. I've been happy with it and it had good reviews.

    The vendor and page don't seem to be on Amazon any longer. Was from "Black Rifle Supply" and was described as a "4" Ultralight M-LOK Mount Forend For 5.56/.223 Rifle".

    Barrel is a 4.5" Kaw Valley from Joe Bob's, with a 3-lug adapter which brings it just past the end of the rail. 9mm doesn't have a barrel extension, so 1", IIRC of the barrel is in the receiver, so without the 3-lug, the barrel would be half an inch behind the end of the rail.

    Thank you. I've been looking for a while and was starting to think i'd have to cut one down. Found them for ~$50, gtg for me. Hope to have pics soon. Would be curious to see how your tool box looks when finished. Thats kind of my end goal for this project.

    I don't believe you're buddy is loading at $0.02. You can buys primers for that. Nor powder, bullets, etc as components for that. More realistically 0.12-0.14 if over the shelf. Maybe 0.06-0.08 for cast.
