| I'm thinking of buying a 9mm upper with a 5" Tros barrel and a 9" YHM rail to put my Trident on. For those of you with similiar setups, any regrets? Love it? Hate it? |

You getting a thread mount or a 3-lug?
If you get a thread mount, it is very possible to unscrew the can from the mount, leaving the mount attached to the barrel. This is kind of a bugger if your handguard is longer than the barrel. Makes it kind of tough to get at the mount to remove it. If you are getting a 3-lug, it should be fine. |

One other thing you might do is try handling guns with those setups. I found that the longer rail added noticeable weight, with no significant benefit (other than aesthetic).
I have a pistol forend, and a carbine forend. I tried both, plus I've tried joining the two together. It looks good with the can underneath, but makes it a bit muzzle heavy. And as I've noted, with a thread mount, you may end up with the mount stuck on the barrel under the handguards. I finally just went back to the pistol-length rail. I might go with a slightly longer rail some day, but first I would need to get a 3-lug mount, and semi-permanently attach a 3-lug adapter to the barrel.

Do yourself a favor and replace your barrel w/a TROS 3-lug and put a 3-lug mount on your suppressor. You'll not regret it and won't look back. My setup w/the 7" M4 rail balances out perfectly. |

I have a RRA 9mm upper, TROS 5" 3-Lug barrel, KAC 7" FF RAS, and a Gemtech Multi Mount 9 w/3-Lug adapter mount that really balances out well, and I really enjoy it alot. If my pic'r taker was here, I'd post a pic of it? I'll try to get one posted later today?
Not as quiet as expected for the shooter (no hearing ptotection needed at all/IMHO) very pleasant to shoot, but almost "scary" quiet for the spectator standing to the side or standing behind w/147gr Speer Lawman & 158gr Fiocchi ammo? AR15 port noise, for the shooter, you just can't get away from? YMMV teamroper Here's all the specs, runs 100% after tuning the ejector. Doesn't like fully loaded CP 32rd mags???

I love this set up! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/jerad/GunPics2-23-2009043copytagged.jpg That is a sweet setup. What kind of mags will the RRA magwell insert run? |
