I asked in the Pistol Cal forum, but not everybody goes there.

Since my M4 project will be complete on, oh, Friday when my CMMG upper comes in, naturally I must look to the future. I'm considering doing a 9mm SBR project, and since I can't afford full auto I figured I'd go quiet.

I'm quite taken with the two below and was told by one dealer here that they're both pretty good. So I figured I'd ask around some more.

SWR Alpha SD

LRM M-169

All the normal questions. How does it sound, maintenence, overall length, etc. The length question is one I'd like answered. I can't seem to get a good idea in my mind how big each of these is compared to, say, my new M4 14.5 with perm Phantom.

Thanks for any and all help and advice.

Somebody must've handled one of the goddamn things.

I have the LRM M-169 and all I can say is WOW!!!!

It is reliable, extremely quite, and I can use and grain 9mm ammo (115, 124, and 147) where other uppers/suppressors require you to use sub-sonic ammo. Plus, Lee @ LRM is one of the best guys in the business regarding ethics.

I would suggest posting this in the full-auto forum and watch the replies fly in!!!!! He has quite a number of customers that hang out there.

Did you also consider the GemTech Trinity-Talon?

I've decided to go with the LRM M-169, but I'd like to hear your thoughts and compare notes.

Another +1 for Lee at LRM.
The page has the specs www.lrmfirearms.com/pages/863787/index.htm
A very effective suppressor and a great guy to do business with.
