Good afternoon, I finished my first 9mm build last night and took it out to the desert for some testing today.  I put 300 rounds through it with various types of ammo and am happy to report zero malfunctions so far!  Here is a rundown of the build along with some of my accuracy testing from today with pics.

LOWER:
RunnerRunner Thor Glock stripped billet lower (Same as the other New Frontier lowers).
Rise Armament Trigger
Seekins Bolt Catch
Noveske STS 60 Degree Selector
MAGPUL K2
KAK Shockwave Buffer Set
KAK 9mm Buffer with NFA Stopper
MAGPUL ASAP Plate


UPPER:
Spikes Stripped AR-15 Upper
KAW Valley 8.5" barrel
KAK Slim Flashcan
NFA Modular BCG
UTG PRO Super Slim 7" Rail
Primary Arms Advanced MicroDot RDS
BCM Mod4 CH


As part of my 300 round break in today I did some accuracy testing with both FMJ plinking rounds and some HD rounds.  All groups were 5 rounds shot off of my ammo box with the PA RDS at 25 meters.  There was an 8mph cross wind but I'm sure at 25m it didn't affect much.  The rifle seemed to be plenty accurate with everything I tried.  For reference the size of the green postage stickers are 3/4"

Remington Golden Saber 124gr +P


Federal HST 124gr +P (My Go-To Round)


Federal Hydra Shok 124gr +p+


Winchester PDX1 124gr +P


Winchester 115gr FMJ


Blazer Brass 124gr FMJ (Flyer was totally my fault, I knew as soon as I squeezed the trigger)


Wolf WPA Steel Cased 115gr FMJ


Thanks for checking out my post.  Now I just need to find a good light and keep putting rounds through her.

Definitely good enough for "inside my house" distances haha.  The barrel was cheap, $99 delivered for JoeBob's.

Looks good!

You will starting shooting alot of 9mm with this thing.  Might be time to start reloading?  I know my 9mm loading more than doubled after I finished mine, heh

Its a trap dude... hehe

I started out "Oh yeah, Ill save some money".  Now Im shooting 8000+ rounds a year.  Eventually my presses will pay for themselves, I hope

On a side note, 147gr HiTek coated shoot great out of these guns.  And its cheap at about 11 cents a round and suppressor ready

Very nice build!
how do you like the Primary Arms Advanced MicroDot RDS ?
Subcribed for your accuracy testing
You can't go wrong with the Sabers,Fed's & my favorite now the PDX in my baby Glock.
Waiting for my 6450 to get out of jail to start my own testing on my Colt shorty
