hey guys
I recently caught the bug to build a pistol, first i wanted to build it in .45acp but that seems to be WAY more work than its worth so i will probably go for the 9mm. I hope to file paper work after i build and test the pistol for an SBR. I want this pistol for fun at the range and HD. I already have the lower receiver. I am looking for recommendations on were to purchase the remaining parts and what you guys suggest. My total budget is around the $750-800 mark thanks! |

I recently caught the bug myself, so I am watching this section as well.
I am personally looking at an upper from REDX arms from what I read is good quality for messin around with. Also looking at GSE Gen 2 recoil system. Its supposed to work well. Good luck with your quest and post pics when its done. |

9mm can be tricky. I think most magwell blocks are sketchy and all magazines are sketchy except Colt and Metalform.
So, I recommend the Hahn top insert magwell block with Metalform magazines. I like Garrison Mfg. bolts with a 9mm hammer. Or you can find a ramped bolt and run a standard hammer without a notch. Good luck. Looks like the Garrison bolts are hard to come by. CMMG ramped bolt and DPMS hammer would probably work. Mags are the most important thing though. |

i already have a standard multi cal lower though You can get a drop-in block that will allow the use of Colt-style or modified Uzi magazines. (I have one, in fact that will allow the use of only un-modified Uzi magazines.) Then you just need the upper in 9mm. http://www.sturmgewehr.com/webBBS/parts.cgi?read=317358 So far as overpenetration is a concern, I like frangible rounds for HD. They are lighter and faster, but break up on impact with 'hard' targets. http://www.luckygunner.com/9mm-100-gr-frangible-fiocchi-50-rounds |

Thanks for that info. I don't want to do it in .223 due to it being used as a HD weapon My .223 pistol is my HD weapon. No fear of over penetration and hitting a fam member after hitting the BG? My HD weapon now is a glock 36 You need to go read the box o truth. |
