I like having the pistol mag lowers as an option, but mostly in case some day there is a ban and hopefully with a new Glock or 320 lower, someone younger than me would want it as they have a supply of compatible mags.
Otherwise, I am happy with having 4 or 5 stick mags. They don't seem the most durable mags anyway and with that clearish plastic, look suspectible to aging. So no point to hoarde a ton of them at once. Maybe be I buy 4 or 5 at first, and if still legal to buy new a decade from now, get another 4 or 5 to have a fresh batch. |

Gen 1 vs Gen 2: B&T says the way to tell is that the handguard is a separate part from the receiver on Gen 2, however I see a lot of posts (including the one I bought from) advertising Gen 2 with a one piece receiver/handguard.

Do I want a compact or fullsize? If you need a tri-lug host go full size, if you don't or threaded is fine then go compact. If you have other 9mm subguns that are more full-sized, then go compact for something different. If you're afraid the compact will be "too small" then it's probably not for you as you likely favor more real estate. If you're looking for something different/unique, go compact. Those are just some of the thought processes I came up with, hope they help. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By goldwinggoat: I think the compact is too short. What are you going to use the gun for? Unless you are trying to fit it into a specific case, I don’t see the need. I wonder if there is a real FPS difference between the two. again, it all comes down to preference and the role of the gun. the length difference is going to come into play with your support hand/arm as the rear brace/stock length will be identical. if you feel you need the extra room and like a longer hold, the full size could be better |

Any creative thoughts on mount options? I would like to make a mount or scabbard for a dual sport motorcycle.
Could always: 1. sling it 2. use a standard “turning fork” type mount 3. Scabbard mount 4. QD clip I saw the pannier mount below without bags and thought how can I mount a subgun on it. Probably not very practical.  Attached File |

Bolt a piece of sheet metal to pannier frame, mount sheet of kydex to sheetmetal, mold another piece of kydex around gun and fasten with rivets? I'd still use a leash from gun to frame though, just in case

I can also confirm that the Scalarworks micro mounts do not work on the GHM9. I had it from another gun, but I found a KAC Mount in the EE. I ha e seen quite a few people mounting their optics in the low position, which doesn’t make sense to me. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? that said, it isn't as smooth of an install as on an AR due to the clearance (or lack thereof) on the rail. i found that using a combo of pulling/pushing and a pair of pliers got the job done. the sucker is on there tight, just can't be afraid to manhandle the tightening. even with using bare pliers (no covering to "protect" the mount) didn't scratch it up at all, i thought for sure some of the mount's paint on the wheel would have been scuffed off. if you do go with the scalar mount, i'd recommend the 1/3 cowitness. I went with the absolute witness and wish it was just a taaaad higher. ymmv |

It’s a Gen 1.
The upper isn’t 2 pieces: receiver and rail. Go back a page or two and look at my photos, that’s what a Gen 2 looks like. The handguard will be separate on a Gen 2. |

Looking for a brace to replace the SBA3 on the one I just picked up. To me the SBA3 is just too "AR" for B&T. I know the obvious choice is Tailhook, but I ran across this Doublestar Strongarm brace that looks promising. I have one of their entry stocks and am very impressed by it, so I threw together a little edit in MS Paint to get an idea. Their buffer tube may be a little too rugged for the GHM9, but I think I like the overall look. What do you guys think?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By goldwinggoat: Contemplating the trigger, but $350? We are getting into crazy territory. I agree, the price is the biggest downside to the trigger. i think i would only recommend it for those who are pushing to maximize the CQB aspect and speed shooting. honestly, i really liked the stock trigger but it was just too heavy of a pull for rapid follow ups. if you feel like you're "lagging" due to slower trigger speeds, then make the switch. otherwise, run with the stock and buy more ammo lol |

I'm looking at the GHM9 with the telescoping brace adapter and a tailhook.
If the pistol was registered as a SBR, is there some way to convert the adapter to a stock by replacing the tailhook with a buttpad of some sort? If not, is the folder the only stock option? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By goldwinggoat: You guys are a little off on this. The rails are the same on both the brace and the stock. They each have three positions, but only two are useable on the brace configuration because of different plastic bumpers that can be swapped out with the THSF kit. You could also cut down the ones you have in the pistol configuration. FYI, the Tailhook brace collapsible setup has a LOP of exactly 13.5 inches. |

I agree with the last posts. With the collapsing stock and tailhook, the SBR makes no sense. It’s the best pistol set up of any pistol carbine out there. Pricey but worth it. I freaking love My GHM9. Trigger is the only thing I want to replace but not 350$ bad. I hope more people test aftermarket triggers out.
