I did some shooting this Saturday, mostly shooting pistols offhand and one 11.5" AR pistol I brought along to zero. I haven't shot pistols in a long while and was reminded pretty brutally how important a perfect trigger press is, especially at range. P365 with dot was hard to make consistent hits on a 10" gong at 35yds or more due to the small grip and heavier trigger tending to let my trigger press move the muzzle off to the side. I had to really death grip the thing and focus on a smooth slow trigger press to make good hits. Meanwhile my 9mm Dan Wesson 1911 could make consistent hits at 50yds with fairly minimal effort. AR pistol could do it without even trying.
Lessons: high-end 1911s are really good, even better than a tricked-out Beretta 92 AR pistol (and presumably anything with that extra point of contact) is much easier to make consistent hits with at range. I kind of knew that, but it was still eye-opening to see the degree of superiority of a short braced gun over pistols. I want that flux 365 brace |

 The Folding Frugal Ferret/Magpul SL-M Review (Pt2) Frugal Ferret 2.0 now folds. A very compact little package and very pleasant to shoot. |

I am a big proponent of the PDW concept and have a strong belief that carrying of a very small weapon with three points of contact and an optic is a dramatic force multiplier over a handgun, even if the caliber is not on par with a rifle round. I still think there's a strong case to be made for the MP5k and APC9k/GHM9k/TP9 (the B&Ts offer more modern features like last round bolt hold), but the AR9, even if tuned, is still too jumpy, as are some direct blowback systems like the Scorpion. One thing I tested this weekend (300 rounds) was a Matador Arms MAT9-K on a Foxtrot Mike polymer hybrid lower that feeds from Glock mags. I am not a huge fan of PCCs that take Glock mags, but this build was meant to be light and self contained. Why self contained? The Foxtrot lower allows a spare mag to be carried in the pistol grip so, if you chose to, you can run a 50-round drum and keep a backup 24-rounder in the grip or two 24-rounders, which is what I do. The gun cycled perfectly, and once I sited in the prism optic, shot like a laser. There is no need for a receiver extension - you can run anything you want on the back.
So, the Matador/FM build works well, but the benefit is that it is very inexpensive and reliable. The uppers can be found for under $400 and the FM lower can be found for under $175. So while I'd like to keep my trusty APC9k or SP5k-PDW on me, I not fund myself wanting something a little cheaper that I can toss into a laptop bag and though in the car. I'm not worried about it getting banged around or stolen (though that would suck). More to the point, it is sub-5lbs and works nearly as well as my other PDWs in 9mm. It's certainly better than either of my Scorpions... |

Hate to be the wet blanket, but one of the things that sucked the worst from my burglary was wondering who was going to get killed with all of the perfectly set up weapons I lost. A car is much more likely to be broken into than a house, I wouldn’t leave a gun in one unless you have the means to securely lock it up.

Only had one car break in, and thankfully it was over night in front of my house with nothing of value in it. I share your worries, which is why I tend to prefer as small, light and portable as possible so it comes with me. Depending on where I’m going, how long, whos with me etc I tend to opt for just carrying a pistol if I’m going to be stuck leaving a pdw behind in a car. |

A car is much more likely to be broken into than a house, I wouldn’t leave a gun in one unless you have the means to securely lock it up. That is a big part of why I went from "truck/trunk gun" to "backpack gun". It has to be something that I can easily and discreetly transport in and out of the house. That led to me realizing that I'm not going to be carrying abound a backpack gun AND a CCW. If where I'm going is so sketchy that I feel I need to be armed like that, I should probably avoid that area. If I have a backpack gun in my vehicle (elevated risk type situation), then the key word there is "vehicle". My best weapon is a heavy dose of skinny pedal to unass said area. If stuff is so bad that I'm outgunned while with my vehicle AND my CCW, I clearly have terrible luck AND made terrible choices along the way. |

To expand on this, even though I started this thread, I’m mostly rocking just the ccw. I’d be a j frame and flip flops guy if the world wasnt so fucky, but it is so its semi auto and a reload. For me the threads intent is to figure out how to use and conceal a pdw if things get worse. Better to do all the learning/trial and error now while things arent on fire. |

Better to do all the learning/trial and error now while things arent on fire. This is why I’m so gay for handgun sized pistols that have integrated stocks like the USW-A1, Flux Raider P365 chassis, etc. and to a lesser extent “midi” sized chassis like the USW-G, Recover 20/20’s etc. The USW’s are truly like little rifles (Especailly the USW-G with a BDC prism scope) rather than flexy/mushy conversions, even if those conversions are both affordable and effective. I’d love to have a conjugal visit with a P365 Flux Raider setup…. The gun you actually have on you beats the one you left in the car or in the safe Every. Single. Time. |

Related to my flip flops and j frame comment, I shot some sporting clays today to knock the rust off before a charity shoot next month.
Man. I wish time wasnt limited and I didnt have other stuff I needed to work on because man. Busting clays is beyond fun. Havent done it in at least a year and I had a blast. |

Talked to a guy I trust re: AR variants. He said that x39 is not no way never no how reliable in an AR platform. I kinda believe him, I also kinda don’t because Sig, Robinson, and Maxim all have AR-ish platform weapons in that caliber. He said the magazines are the downfall and can’t be made to work right.
Anyone with expertise on an AR pistol in x39? Of you tell me it can’t be made reliable, I’ll build the expensive folding 300BLK pistol of my dreams. |

They’re not as plug and play as a 5.56, but I have a 7” x39 upper that I’ve run suppressed on my M16 with decade old 28rd CPD mags in full auto and they’ve never skipped a beat. That said, not all lowers, uppers, and mags are created equal. Test your shit. Just like you should for any weapon you’d trust your life to. |

Shot my Flux Raider on Saturday. It ran fine unsuppressed, and I got a 25 yard zero with my Acro.
The big issue was that when I mounted my Rugged Obsidian on it (with Nielsen device), the gun would not cycle. About 50% of the time if would short cycle, and the rest of the time the fired case was still in the chamber. Not sure what is going on. I have a smaller and lighter AAC EVO9 CQC that I might try next time. ETA: Ammo was Blazer Brass 115 gr FMJ. |

It’s literally a “hotdog down a hallway proposition into the chamber and the bolt hasn’t been weakened to accommodate larger care diameters like 7.62x39. The XCR doesn’t get nearly the recognition it should. |

I’m saddened, but not surprised that so many folks have issues with suppressors on chassis pistols. Anyone tried scaling back to micro cans, even the ones that use wipes? Sucks to need a dedicated, sub-optimal can, but better than what’s available for the TP9, the 17 ounce B&T Chungus. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JaredGrey: Talked to a guy I trust re: AR variants. He said that x39 is not no way never no how reliable in an AR platform. I kinda believe him, I also kinda don’t because Sig, Robinson, and Maxim all have AR-ish platform weapons in that caliber. He said the magazines are the downfall and can’t be made to work right. Anyone with expertise on an AR pistol in x39? Of you tell me it can’t be made reliable, I’ll build the expensive folding 300BLK pistol of my dreams. I have done several pistols, rifles, pdws, and sbrs. x39 is one of my favorite calibers. Duramag magazines are awesome and have been flawless in my BREN2, BRN-180, POF Puritan, PWS MK-116, MK-111, and several home brews. It all comes down to setting the gas system up correctly with the right buffer, spring weight, to gas port size and length. |

Uses gen 3 Glock 17 parts as the basis. @D_Man Where can an interested party find the file for that? Loving the look of it. |

Was finally able to get out with the TP9 after getting the ACRO on there. That's a game-changer for this gun. The iron sights are some of the worst I've ever used. Throwing a micro dot on there, though? It really turned the gun around, I think.
 100rds at 25yds.  The headbox is still pretty hard to hit - gotta work on that trigger, but damn is it a bad trigger. The low left shots are also trying to work that trigger as quickly as the dot is back on target. Need a bit more practice with that. Overall, though? Pretty happy with the setup as it is now. |
