Greetings.  Does anyone have experience to share with toolcraft's bolts?  I am wanting to build on a Spikes Colt type lower and upper.

I currently run a stock Colt upper on a Spikes Colt lower and it is 100% reliable.

I've got one in my 6.5 Grendel.  Works just fine, no issues.  Well made IMHO.

Thanks. Their AR15 bolts get good reviews, but their isn't a whole lot of feedback on their 9mm bolts.

I have a Toolcraft 9mm Nickel Boron bolt in my Glock based build. Good quality and functions perfectly.

Thanks. It doesn’t look like they are widely used. I would use another colt bolt but I am on a budget for this build.

Thanks.  Looks like everyone is out of stock on the FM9 bolts so the Toolcraft is the the next closest in price

A highly respected AR9 smith located in Georgia says that they work ok, with maybe only a little extractor massaging needed.

So I ordered one.  The bolt looks really well made.  The only downside I can see is that it weighs in at 14.25 oz., two full ounces below my factory colt bolt.  

With a standard 5.6 oz. buffer i am right at 20 oz total reciprocating weight.  

Running a 11" barrel will that be enough?  Or at least a place to run it and see how it does?

It is a little on the light side, but try it.  Buffers aren't too expensive so not a huge hit to get a 7.5 if it doesn't run.

That’s what I was thinking.   I have a call in to Toolcraft to see what their reasoning was for going so light.
