Shot the CMMG Banshee AR9 today suppressed. Sweet setup but to your point, its $1400 retail.I know the AR9’s are nice, but for the money, it’s tough to beat the Ruger.

Check out the buttstock pad from McarboI hate the shitty buttstock and the recoil pad that broke off and the silicone pad I replaced it with...that also broke off. So now it's bare metal into my shoulder.
Why not?But... suppressed...
I totally agree. I meant to imply that I thought $1400 was very reasonable for a suppressed AR9.Why not?
That gun is the optimal fiearm to shoot suppressed.
That doesn't include the suppressor, which I think was a gemtech lunar 9 that was around $600I totally agree. I meant to imply that I thought $1400 was very reasonable for a suppressed AR9.
I looked at both and bought a CX 4 Storm. The fugugly Star Wars look can grow on you. Moreover, ergonomically it is a most comfortable Gun to shoot.
I picked neither of those carbines. I think the Ruger PCC is the best thing currently offered. dollar for dollar it's a deal.If I had to chose between those two I'd pick the Marlin Camp 9.
I love my PCC's.
Currently own:
Vector
AR9
MP5 Clone (omega)
Sub 2K
Previously owned:
CZ scorpion
Beretta CX4 storm
If I had to pick one it's the mp5 clone all day. It's the most fun to shoot by a mile, looks great, works great, turns heads and its straight out of an action movie. There's really something special about the roller lock platform thats hard to describe until you've shot one.
AR9's are great because everyone knows the AR platform. Plenty of cross compatibility, endless upgrades.
Vector is fun but too heavy. The mechanics are interesting- but not necessary on a semi-auto 9mm. Full auto or a 10mm/45 is where the recoil system is felt.
Sub 2k is the best budget option. It's cute and compact, has lots of upgrades available. Takes glock mags.
Scorpion is a nice alternative but never saw range time. Hard to find regular cap mags. Storm was just too big, but a nice shooter.

There is also the Sig MPX which I have seen sold in MA. Super pricey though.
The High Point is the Stacy Abrams of the PCC world, God! bulky and ugly as f***. What the hell is up with that butt stock. Good god!Besides an AR in 9mm, the Hi Point and Kel Tecs are the only other PCC's out there on the market that I think are worth the money. The Sub 2000 because it uses the grip for the mag well and it folds, the Hi Point cuz cheap and works.
The Hi Point is probably going to be a more comfortable shooter given the heft and check weld, but the more practical one in terms of size and weight is the Kel Tec. The Kel Tec recoils pretty good tho.

I have a JP GMR-13 (GMR-15 is current). Great gun, runs well, but the handguard is a bit heavy for my taste. My next project will be to replace it.Any one have experience with a Wilson Combat AR-9 or JP Enterprises GMR-5? Or is a Colt AR-9 better?
I had a JP GMR 9mm SBR arrive at a shop on the day that shall live in infamy. The dealer could not transfer it to me (under the current thinking of the AGs edict, plus I would still need to wait for the stamp), so the dealer wrote out a check to JP for the retail price because he liked it so much. I haven't SBR'd a PCC yet, but I did get a JP upper/lower from inventory that was a gun, and used a Rock River conversion unit to accept Colt and converted UZI mags. Runs great; just does not have last round bolt hold-open with the converted UZI mags.I have a JP GMR-13 (GMR-15 is current). Great gun, runs well, but the handguard is a bit heavy for my taste.
