For some unknown reason....... I have a hankering for a 9mm ar pistol. I will get a stamp to SBR it after purchasing. Any recommendations for a good product or anything to stay away from?
 
I home built one on a New Frontier Armory lower with a New Frontier side charging upper.
Love it...solid, takes glock mags, hasnt ever given me any trouble.
Was able to do it a little cheaper than one of their factory builds.

Gratuitous pic lol

I second NFA products. Built a 8.5” and it runs like a champ
 
Ahhhh poop.......thanks and sorry about that waylon.
I’ll move it in there, but there are several threads you can start reading through as well.
 
The Glock mag ones are where any innovation is happening currently. Foxtrot Mike has a forward side charger I might look hard at if buying complete.

The gas gun Sig MPX (not really an AR) and CMMG Guard would also warrant a look for factory guns. They solve the violent action of straight blowback guns.
 
I have 2 PSA 9mm uppers, 10.5" and 4.5". Both are exceptionally accurate.

My SBR lower is an Anderson with colt style mag block. Never an ounce of trouble.

Is there a difference with PSA's PCC uppers that accept Glock mags or is just their BCG?

I'm pretty sure even their bolts are hybrid colt/glock these days. But, other than the bolt the uppers aren't specific.

Because the Colt pattern ones have been running well for decades...

Mine is Colt pattern because I hate the angle of the Glock mag ones. Whatever you decide, build build build. They are stupid easy with no gas system to deal with. I've got a formula that is guaranteed to work... If you don't mind spending the money.
 
I “built” mine by buying a complete upper from JSE, then using an Aero PEW PEW lower with a dedicated Hahn mag block.
