Man up and make your own decision. Only you know what you want. If money isnt a issue then get both.

Personally I would need to have a full stable of 5.56's before I would buy a 9mm AR...that said I am not a big 9mm fan in anything.

Since you are just looking for arguments for one or the other, I'll say that I'd go for 5.56 if tack driving accuracy is at all a concern. If not, I'd consider 9mm because it would be really cheap to shoot. I reload.

With an SBR'd lower, you can have both. Build as you can afford it, but get that paperwork in now.

You will probably like the 9MM's lack of muzzle blast and noise, compared to the .223.

But recoil might be a little more because of the heavy 9mm bolt.

thanks for the help. i guess after a few days of ponderin i will keep 5.56 an build 9mm. take me prolly a year instead od 6 months but in the end it will be worth it. especially wen the hig hrollin turds aka politicians pass there bullshit laws in years to come.

this will be a range toy... 150 yards max, sbr. suppressed if i do 9mm. which one? money isnt an issue because i will build as i can. 5.56 or 9mm and why plz.?? The 9mm is cheaper to shoot and I have two of them and they are VERY DIRTY as they use the blow back system. I have a Timmney trigger in one with a Adco ramped bolt and it works 100% but after 500 rounds my trigger system is no longer gold it's black with spent powder so it's time for the birchwood casey gun scrub clean out. If you think the DI 223/556 get dirty the 9mm is the dirtest of them all(but they are fun to shoot and mine holds some good groups out to 75 yards). |

Just get a LMT MRP and you can have both.
Spike's Tactical makes 9mm MRP barrels. Switching calibers is easy and only takes a couple minutes. You said money is not an issue? |

Suppressed 9mm is more fun than .223 (in quiet or loud variations).
I'd do the 9mm first. And eventually get both. 
(and yes - only 1 SBR lower, so the pistol is just somewhere for the "other" upper to live. They tend to swap back and forth and mostly just get shot on the shoulder-stocked lower)
