Does anybody own or has anyone built an pistol caliber AR Carbine or other 9mm carbine? We have a new Carbine division in our Monthly IDPA shoot and I want to give it a try.
I was originally going to buy a 9mm upper to swap calibers on the same lower, but I think I'm just going to build a dedicated lower to go with it. I was thinking of a Hahn magwell block mainly because C products is coming out with good quality mags that will work in it. Another option would be the SNS block that uses cheap surplus Sten magazines.
The 2 major players seem to be RRA and Olympic. The Olympic is designed to work with a standard 5.56 lower. For the RRA you need to swap out the hammer and buffer.
Other options on the cheap side are (non AR) Mech-Tech upper that uses a Glock or 1911 lower, KT SU2000, Beretta Storm, Hi-Point, Ruger PC9 and Marlin Camp Carbines. And on the not so cheap side HK94 (mp5) and clones.
If you have a 9mm carbine I'd be interested in how it does around 50 - 100 yards.
Thanks
