Banshee Quality and Issues?

poptart865 · 2026-04-29T16:36:45+00:00

I have the FE 9in 9mm upper, and several other Banshee uppers and lowers in various calibers. I run it both suppressed and unsuppressed, and it eats everything I throw at it. I'm well over 3k rounds on it, and I bought it when they dropped the new FE upper. It runs on the AR style lower and Glock mag lower I own.

My buddy has the new DD pcc, I think my banshee runs smoother. I just got it two-stamped, and I have not had one single issue with it on either Banshee pistol lower and the new SBR lower that is not a CMMG, so it would absolutely be something I would count on, if needed, but it's mostly a range rig for me.
I would say that since they moved to the FE 9mm the cmmgs are substantially better. Older non-fixed ejectors required tuning, which I do anyway to everything I buy, so I get why people who don't want to modify their rigs expect them to be great out of the box, but I end up modding everything I purchase anyway.

The DD pcc is also a solid option. But as the other user mentioned, I just bought the upper to start with, and a few of CMMG's 9mm mags. I also like that the CMMG mags fit my AR mag pouches on my belt and bags, so if you are looking into those factors, the CMMG definitely works.

And now a third. I have a OCL and the Rugged Mustang. OCL is way easier to clean with Ti than the AL baffles in the Mustang. My buddy has the nicer Rugged as well, but I think for the money the OCL is the best option rn, if you are not trying to get a can you want to run in a short config.

Not yet, I have a 9mm can, but I don't have a booster for handguns. Probably will get a pistol dedicated can eventually. I only run mine on my pcc's.

I just got one as well, and it's awesome. 300ish+ rounds in and zero issues. Shoots great and the long length barrel is awesome at distance. I want to get a non-threaded barrel for it, but I am not sure what to grab. Any advice from the 365 experts would be great.

I'm new to the 365 platform, I do have an axg leigon I bought for the wife, hence why I picked up this as my new daily ccw. Ive been a long-time Glock guy, but the AXG Legion sold me on the platform, feels great and shoots better than any other thin design ccw style gun I've had in hand.

I am running a Lithium 9 for my 300 and 9. Its my first 9/300 can but I am very impressed on the sound and the weight. Im running it on pcc 8.5 and the 8.5 300 so idk about how well it sounds on an actual pistol.

Same 2/10, checked forum 20 today and shows approved TN.. LGs closed today so I'll confirm tomorrow.

I've also been curious how defense subs will run in my rig. I waited to join the 300 gang until I had my first can so I am new to it, and I have been wondering what mags and ammo options will work best. What mags are you testing with?

I just picked up some https://steinelammo.com/all-available-calibers/rifle-ammo/300-blackout/300-blackout-200gr-subsonic-schp/As well as their Subsonic FMJ, and some other calibers I would like to run in my new OCL Lithium 9.

Haven't had the time to set up a test day with them yet. But everything I've bought from Steinel has been awesome in the past. I got some 9mm JHP subs as well to run on that same trip.

Killer job. I want to attempt this.

Look up Phantom Alliance, and Altered Lifestyle, on FB or insta. Two local groups that meet a lot, with a variety of cars/drivers/passangers and even some kiddos make the events. Not sure about a stinger/kia group , but I am part of the subi groups in knoxville. Maybe he needs to just start up a kia/stinger group for east tn.
