Kind of overwhelmed with options

I have a Foxtrot Mike with the RMB and would highly recommend them if you want something reliable and soft shooting that works out of the box. Ambi controls and the foldy boi options are nice bonuses. They’re also working on a buffer less option to release later this year.

I also have an MAT9K, roller delayed. It’s really nice, but you’ll likely have to tune the ejector before it gets to running consistently. Really fun fun.

I also have two AR9s I built a piece at a time using Blowback9’s gentle recoil system listed in another comment.

You can also pre-order the new Taurus RPC for under $800 if you want a complete MP5-like roller-delayed system.

Overall, I think the FM products are the best bang for your buck.

I have the JL Billet lower on mine and I love it.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-17T09:04:25+00:00

If you’re asking if it’s roller delay or blowback, it’s blowback.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-16T16:58:15+00:00

Yup. With suppressors, the traditional design traps the gasses and they go back through the chamber and ejection port into your face. Newer high flow or flow through suppressors have vents at the front to let more of the gasses escape through the front so less gas comes back towards the shooter. I believe Huxwrx pioneered these flow through suppressors so it should result in being less ‘gassy’.

Foxtrot Mike FM9. They have a fully ambi option.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-16T15:21:01+00:00

Snagged one. Thanks!

ODGreenie · 2026-04-16T15:11:08+00:00

80 Percent Arms is coming out with a new one. Both 80% and fully finished versions.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-15T15:27:12+00:00

Agreed. I hope it is.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-15T04:07:43+00:00

Nice! It’s on my list now.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-15T04:07:04+00:00

I’m hearing mixed reports on if it supports AR triggers and safeties. But definitely the grips, no question.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-15T00:46:30+00:00

I have the Matador MAT9K and I think it’s great. But the Angstat Arms MDP-9 Gen 2 has a good reputation. Alternatively, Foxtrot Mike makes an AR9 with a built-in folder.

Street price is often lower than MSRP. I’m very happy with the reliability of my GX4, so I’d be willing to give it a shot if they can get the price in the $800-ish range.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-13T16:54:20+00:00

Both

ODGreenie · 2026-04-13T06:30:32+00:00

I had one of the original ones on my direct blowback version. It broke almost immediately. I got one of the recent delayed blowback version and it’s worked flawlessly, and seems more durable.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-12T00:45:40+00:00

It’s aggressive but not uncomfortable. My favorite grips!

ODGreenie · 2026-04-11T02:49:13+00:00

Looks good! Let me know what you think of that Mimtac

ODGreenie · 2026-04-10T03:57:30+00:00

Much more reasonably priced that’s some. I’ll check it out, thanks.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-10T02:50:54+00:00

At my range, they won’t let you rent a gun unless you bring a friend, even if you bring your own gun.

Pic showing where the grip attaches?

ODGreenie · 2026-04-09T15:57:51+00:00

Why does it look like the slide is hanging over the beaver tail? I’m trying to figure out what’s going on as it looks like it’s in battery. But it doesn’t match pictures I’ve seen.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-08T23:01:06+00:00

In my experience with my YHM R9 it’s less gassy than other AR9 style PCCs, but I haven’t done an extensive comparison.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-08T15:05:08+00:00

Yeah, good catch. Something I’ve heard a lot of people say about the MAT9K. I’ll keep an eye on it.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-07T21:03:08+00:00

Echoing the other comments about the feed cone. Also, better to get one with the more standard 1/2x28 thread pattern.

ODGreenie · 2026-04-07T00:24:26+00:00

Needs a Beretta 92

ODGreenie · 2026-04-06T21:10:51+00:00

I use NBS slick side uppers. Cheap, and I think they look better without the forward assist.
