So, long story short, wife really loves me and just found out what her bonus is today. She agreed to buy me a new subgun for Father's Day. Here's where I'm at:
Already have a Scorpion SBR (likely going to Micro K it).
Next subgun will be:
1: Converted to SBR, bought as a pistol and form 1d
2: Prefer it to have a Trilug
3: 9MM
In my research, I've come to a few conclusions and I'm basically considering the following weapons, with notes on each.
1: PTR 603/9KT. Cheapest of the bunch at around $1,600. Has trilug and threads. Easy to SBR and be 922R compliant. Has welded on rail which people are split about. Roller locker, so you know, legit. Everyone says PTR is great and has great service if anything happens. But the snobs say well it's not an HK or Zenith. It's also currently in stock everywhere. Can also accept an auto sear pack, if I ever get one.
2: B&T APC9 Pro. More expensive at like $2,350. Mags are more expensive. Probably the most complete overall gun. Has the trilug. Everything I read is that people absolutely love them. No exceptions.
3: Zenith MKE Z5P $2,000 or so if you can find one. They are basically unobtainium in K config right now. Hate I missed the one on here that @wvsig got. Can't accept auto sear packs. Expensive to make 922R compliant. High quality for sure though.
4: Sig MPX. New gen has MLok. Not in stock many places I can find. Sig's QC has been shit lately. Mags are expensive (so are HK MP5 and B&T I know). Gotta do more research on Trilugs, but I think I'd just have to screw one on. People seem to love how soft and flat they shoot. Not a roller locker.
Thoughts? I'm not considering the Stribog until the 3 version comes out (which will be delayed roller) which won't be until end of this calendar year at earliest. I've got an AR9, but the CMMG Guard or whatever it is now, 300 Banshee, gets lots of love since the 9MM Glock version is radial delayed blowback. Not a fan of the Glock mag angle though. I am considering using a New Frontier Arms or QC10 receiver kit that takes MP5 mags and trying to modify it to work with the radial delayed CMMG barrel and bolt, but that's more of a long term project as opposed to capitalizing on the wife's bonus.
What say you all?
