Best bang for the buck Glock mag 9mm carbine

[Bang4Buck]

Just picked this up last week. 45ACP Big brother to the longer 9mm I got last month. The FM9 shoots great and functions flawlessly. I expect the same from the 45. I still like my New Frontier that I built a couple years ago but the LRBHO on the FMs is nice.

What rail covers did you put on those builds?

BCM MLOK rail covers. Got them from Primary Arms.

Looks as if a number of us like the FM products. I got one of their 16" complete 9mm uppers recently and mated it with a mil-spec lower I'd completed along with a Stern Defense (9mm magwell adapter with hol-open device). Has worked perfectly through its first 300 rounds. Great accuracy with both my 115fmj handloads and several factory 115 & 124 loads. Although I love the FM's sidecharging feature, my one nitpick is the plastic charging handle- would have preferred metal.

Contact them and for $25 they will send you a metal one.

Took my Extar9 out for the second time today. I love that bad boy! Side charging. Next time hopefully the weather will be better. I want to do 50, and 100yds.

I recently acquired a Freedom Ordnance FX9 and it is great. Has the KAK Blade on it that can be swapped out for an adjustable if desired.

A timely thread. My next build will be a 9mm Glock mag and there are few options that meet the quality/value criteria. It’s great to hear the good reviews on FM products.

I have only 2 minor complaints about the FM:

1 - I'm actually not as big a fan of the side charging handle as I thought I would be. Plenty of people disagree, so it boils down to preference.
2 - I had two issues when buying. The first one had to be sent back as the upper and lower would not quite mate. PA and FM made it right. Once I got a new one to the range, part of the tip of the firing pin broke off. Once again, FM stood behind the product sending me 2 new pins, furniture, and swag for the troubles.

For the money, I don't see how you can beat it. And if you happen to experience an issue, PA and FM will 100% stand behind the products, so you have peace of mind.

Glad this thread was bumped back up recently as I've been collecting Glock mags and looking for a host. Hadn't heard of FM previously, so I'll explore them as an option in my search.
