@@Jimbo_Bagginz oh wow. the problem i had i think a few other youtubers had. i'll keep an eye out for that one. yea, noonan and the fm team are great. i just want to get the paratrooper charging handle now.
They are top notch with customer service. I had a faulty bolt release that wouldnt catch the bolt on last round. Sent the replacement part and walked me through the simple fix.
You can tell the quality of a company with how they handle problems. FM has raised the bar that other companies need to reach. They help to get you a firearm vs having a potential paper weight.
I have the 5 inch. I’m replacing the handguard on mine so my suppressor can fit underneath it. Since the barrel doesn’t extend out past the handguard, it needed a threaded adapter to attach my suppressor. When I was removing the old handguard, I noticed that several antirotation screws had backed out already. The barrel extension to receiver fit is very loose and it doesn’t have an index pin in the barrel extension. Those are the only negatives, it has run 100% so far. I can’t speak to accuracy, because my threaded adapter was interfering with the bullets even though it was supposed to have a .378 bore diameter. The new set up will directly thread to the barrel and conceals half of the suppressor under the handguard. Edit: if anyone is interested to know, the midwest industries suppressor compatible forend works with the foxtrot mike billet upper. I’ve also now had a chance to test accuracy without the use of the threaded barrel extension, and I can report being impressed. All my shots on steel 15y overlapped. That’s plenty accurate for home defense. I wish foxtrot mike sold the gun in the configuration I turned it into. I never did like worrying that I could put my support hand in front of the muzzle with such a short barreled pistol.
I used an aeroprecision gen 2 enhanced 7” handguard and a tri lug adapter. Super easy to take the can off. The can is the silencerco omega 9k. I regretfully have an x products side charger for the upper. The lower is a qc10.
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Milo Hugo Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@@justindawn3428 thanks lol this is funny to see my old comment here because I tried to use my PCC at a USPSA match last year. It wasn't eligible because it's legally a pistol. If I had a tax stamp then they'd let me use it with a legal stock, so that just turned me off from PCC. I'm probably just gonna sell it.
@@justindawn3428 I'm not sure how the caliber is involved. You can only use pistol caliber at the matches I do. I could use my current PCC if I got a tax stamp and put on a stock or if I just got a longer barrel and put on a stock. I checked the rules before I bought my PCC, but I stopped reading after I saw that there was no barrel length requirement. It also says that you can't use any "Sig braces or similar". It was just annoying that I didn't see that before I went to the match. Live and learn I guess.
Oh igot you. Yes that is lame. You either have to run a 16 inch pcc (who wants that) or pay a stupid tax stamp. Thats bs. Pcc are fun though. They have become my favorite thing to shoot when dialek in and reliable.
Excellent review! I have the one in the video and can say it runs that well. If your familiar with CMMG's "Radially delayed" blowback uppers, and how they say it offers reduced recoil, I can tell you that the Foxtrot Mike strait blowback actually feels less than the CMMG version. Foxtrot Mike did their homework. It's a VERY WELL designed system that is well tuned. Do you still have yours? If so, any issues?
Upper arrives tomorrow for my FM9 build. 7” barrel with a 3 lug muzzle device. Lower is already built out & waiting, super excited as this is my first pcc. Yours is very nicely kitted out, you can never go wrong with Eotech.
Did you speak with foxtrot mike? They were awesome when I had feed and bolt hold open issues. Got both resolved. My bolt hold open was a faulty part... the feed issues was a break in issue that just needed more rounds through it. Honestly though... i cant say ive put much hollow point through it so it may be I still have a problem.
Team, how did you get the SilencerCo suppressor on it??? Was your FM9 a tri-lug barrel as well? I have that exact suppressor but can't find any attachments for a tri-lug. Help!!!!!
I really liked mine but I had too many issues trying to feed hollow-points and I use Federal HST like they recommend. I tried a variety of different OEM Glock Mags, cleaned and lubed it as it was supposed to be, and just continued to have issues with hollow points.
Which bullet weight were you using? Owner's manual and the FAQ on the website say not to use 147gr(subsonic) unless you're running a suppressor. I'm guessing removing the weight in the bolt carrier could be used as a workaround, but I haven't tried it with mine. I will say that mine will eat 124gr HST, 124gr +P HST, and a 140gr +P hollow point that makes HSTs look tame...and it will eat them all day.
@@NoCoBandit I used 124-grain HST. A buddy of mine was talking with a gunsmith he uses and he mentioned it's a common issue. He said what I could've done is had a modification to the feed ramp done. But I had sold it at that point
Late to this conversation but have you looked at macon armory barrels. His fees ramps are much better and mone chew threw any ammo i give it. Couple thousand rounds if various types and weights no failures. Aero ba is notorious for feesing issues.
Is that the FM 9B with the suppressor on it? If so I just bought it a couple days ago and it's in the mail shipping to me in Arizona. What kind of adapter you put on for a suppressor and size? Please let me know I'm interested in buying an adapter. Thank you very much you have a wonderful day.
Bought an FMP-9 7.5" last summer and put around 2k rounds through it. Only had issues on day one where I did not lube it properly and also when I decided not to clean it for months after much use. Lately, I had some odd primer strikes, some shallow, a few very deep. Took it completely down and cleaned the hell out of it - taking it to the range later today to see how it does. I'm using OEM Glock 33 rd mags (tested 9 of them) and tested 3 KRISS Glock 17 (+40) round extenders all feed great and no issues. The only replacements that I've made were upgrading to the "paratrooper-style" charging handle since I have the front charging model (you get used to it). All in all, I love this gun and very happy that I made the purchase.
What's to be gained in a 10", 12 "or 16" inch barrel in 9mm? I've read there is really no gain going for the longer barrel because the pistol caliber bullet loses velosity? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I was leaning toward the FM- 9 with the 10" or 12" barrel, but I'm a little puzzled on what's best!
I went with the aero epc version of this. I was on the fence on buying the fm upper but it seems like it’s solid. And if it holds up you can really save some coin going with the FM over the aero by a lot. On the mag fitment, the aero accepts all brands of mags. Including kci
I have an FM 5" with the forward blast diffuser on it and I want to remove it to add a suppressor.. where can I get the barrel extension with tri lug tip you were talking about because I definitely can't find it on the FM website and I want one that is of good quality because you know I don't want to accidentally UNALIVE MYSELF shooting my suppressor.
I have a FTM9 with a 4.5” barrel. Love it but…. I Added a suppressor now the last round bolt hold open bolt catch is no longer keeping the bolt open after emptying a mag. Any ideas?
so someone I know told me its stupid to put eotech on ar9 pistol, where thats its not practical and it will add on weight. anyone have good argument against this?
I just got the fm9 and I was having misfeeds with the Glock 33 rd mags. The first few rounds get jammed causing phase 2 stoppages. It has actually pushed the bullet into the cartridge a couple of times. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this
I use the 33 rnd OEM mags and never had an issue and tested around 9 of them along with the KRISS Glock 17, (40+) round extenders. I’m using a FMP9 7.5” . On its initial shoot out of the box I had a few hand ups but that was because I didn’t lube it properly.
With federal ammunition I’m surprised you’re having that issue. I had several instances where the projectile would be knocked back into the casing when attempting to run some older Aguila hollow points. It would be on both auto feeds via the magazine and by manually trying to chamber a round with the charging handle. It’s been well lubricated every time so I know that wasn’t the issue. The Aguila rounds were so frustrating that I ended up discarding half of a 33 round mag. I also have a couple of ETS mags and had the same issue with them. I switched over to some older hornady critical defense and Winchester +p+ I had and I haven’t had a single misfire over 200 rounds. Again, this was with older ammo so take from that what you will. FM customer service is top notch so if it persists I would reach out to them.
Good gun. I made a video on the FM9 as well, but I had the sense to do it before getting shitfaced drunk. Not the case while I’m typing this though… It’s all good, I do my videos in one take and make a lot of mistakes, plus I’m old, and not usually too drunk just a little buzzed. Gives the videos character I think.
What suppressor did you go with? Also was there an adapter you had to use to get the suppressor to work efficiently? I watched the vid 3x and I may be missing it, but thanks!!
