I'm going to build my first AR Pistol, picked these parts based on quality/availability, any thoughts?
Upper 7” DPMS Kitty Kat Barrel / Receiver 7.6” Troy TRX Extreme Rail RRA BCG RRA Charging Handle Lower RRA Pistol Lower w/ Buffer Tube ERGO FDE Grip Magpul Ambi Sling Attachment Flash Hider Noveske KX3 Optics EoTech XPS2-0 Magpul FDE BUIS Sling BDS Tactical CQB Single – FDE Magazines PMAG See through in FDE |

Having the weight of the KX3 upfront can be looked at 2 ways. On one hand, it can help with muzzle rise but on the other hand, it does make the pistol heavier. AR pistols can be surprisingly heavy compared to their rifle counterparts. I also read favorable reviews for the Claymore and I didn't feel the KX3 was worth the extra money. I chose a pistol operated 7.5" upper so that added a bit more to the pistol cost, compared to a DI operated upper. |

I wouldnt worry about the weight of the muzzle device. It's a 7.5" upper...that thing is light as hell. +1, and those KX3's look badass poking out the end of a rail IMO The end of the rail is slightly longer than the barrel, so it should shroud the kx3 just a bit, looks awesome |

I have the Troy claymore on my SBR and It has little to no muzzle rise , Its loud as hell on the receiving end though as will the KX3
have you had your hands onthe Ergo grip ? if not I might suggest you find one and see how you like the feel first . Other than that your list looks good . |

I've never shot a pistol ar15 before |

I've never shot a pistol ar15 before My roomate has a 7.5" barrel with flaming pig and it's quieter than my 16" carbine w/ Rainier mini comp on it. The Pig seems to throw all the sound downrange....I was suprised at how quiet it was. |
