My wife challenged me to find a cheaper way to enjoy my shooting hobby. I accepted her challenge and went with a dedicated 9mm setup:
DDLES AR15 Glock Small Frame Mag Lower Receiver - Rear Profile: Vltor - Material: 6061 Aluminum - Selector Marking: Pictogram, Bullets (SAFE, FIRE) - Engraving Over Anodizing: Custom Engraving - Engraving (Top Line): XXXX XXXX - Engraving (Bottom Line): XXXXXX, XX - Stripped or Assembled: Complete Rifle Lower with Timney Trigger Vltor AR15 Pistol Caliber Complete Upper - Barrel Length: 16 inch - Free float rail: DDLES HGS 927 mid-length - Caliber: 9x19mm - Magazine type: Glock small frame - Muzzle Device: Standard A1 9mm Custom AR15 Pistol Caliber Barrels - Caliber: 9x19mm - Barrel Length: 6.3 inch DDLES Handguard Rail System - Handguard Length: 6.35 inch - Material: 6061 Aluminum Other: - Noveske KX3 Flash Suppressor - (5) Glock 33 Round 9MM Magazines Form 1 being filled out tomorrow. Should have everything by 1/1/13. Hopefully by June I can go the SBR + Suppressor route. Ideally, I need to select the Suppressor this week. Any specific suggestions? Here is a look (picture from Jon @ DDLES) that the SBR setup should closely yield: 
Version with the UZI mag: 
A few of the Suppressors that I am looking at: - YHM Wraith suppressor - AAC Ti-Rant - Octane HD 2 - ?? Thanks, Mike |
I have a liberty mystic on order to do about the same type of build. Just trying to convince myself to turn loose of DDLES kind of cash. Be a 2k + build after its all said and done.  . With a 6.3 barrel and 6.35 rail, your gonna have a lot more suppressor showing than in the pic though, but it will still be one sweet set up!

Question:
- Is a baffle strike something I should be worried about in a Carbine 9MM with a suppressor that is screwed on (shooting Semi and/or FA) <-- without using a LUG or QD setup? Right now I have the KX3 ordered and want to be in a position where I can quickly swap out at the range the KX3 and put the suppressor on. Yet - if I should be using a 3 Lug / QD setup then that means more than just unscrewing the KX3 as I have to remove the handguard and torque them to specifications. The alternative is to use something like the YHM Wraith XL and just screw on/off. This is a predicated on the fear that a baffle strike would occur. Thoughts? Thanks, Mike |

Excellent choice!
I am waiting for DDLES to ship my engraved Glock lower too - been about 10 days so far. I won't order my upper until my Form 1 is well under way. I started the process by ordering my Ti-Rant 9mm can first, knowing it would take the longest to arrive/transfer. |

I started the process by ordering my Ti-Rant 9mm can first, knowing it would take the longest to arrive/transfer. I assume you are directly screwing the Ti Rant 9 into the barrel? Right now, after reading a whole bunch - here is what I have come up with: Can use: - AAC Ti-RANT 9 --- Need spacer (15.00) --- Length = 7.9" --- Weight = 8.6 Oz --- Diameter = 1.38 --- serviceable = Partial Self --- Full Auto = Yes --- Warranty: Lifetime - GemTech Multimount (or Raptor) --- Need Threaded Rear Mount (75.00) --- Need LID (150.00) --- Length = 7" --- Weight = 6.5 OZ --- Diameter = 1.375 --- serviceable = Self --- Full Auto = No - recommendation to use Raptor --- Warranty = Lifetime - SWR Octane HD 2 --- Need fixed mount (75.00) --- Length = 7.5" --- Weight = 10.78 oz --- Diameter = 1.375 --- Serviceable = Self --- Full Auto = Yes --- Warranty: Lifetime I am going to be reviewing the dB ratings next. Thanks, Mike |

LIDs are actually not recommended for fixed barrel setups (like your AR).... |

One of my good friends - the SOB that got me thinking about a 9mm carbine - he went with the Octane.
I have 7 different suppressors and really like my AAC cans. You can't really go wrong with any of the three you liked. The decibel difference isn't really noticeable - more of a paper difference. If you want a really quite 9mm can wet it and use fiochi 158gr subsonic ammo. |

I had it in there as "what I needed to buy as an entire package" so it could fit my other 9mm handguns. But absolutely - thank you for pointing that out as if I didn't know, you could have saved me a good chunk of money that would have been better spent on ammo! Thanks, Mike |

Have you seen this yet?
50rd Glock Drum Midway is selling them for $70. ....just the thing for a new 9mm carbine build. |
