    Mpx vs Ar9

    in Pistol Caliber Carbine

    Posted

    I've stated this on other posts, but since this is a new post on the same subject, I'll go over it again.  I have a Gen 2 MPX and a home built AR9 with JP guts that is sorted out over two years.  I bought the MPX, put a Hiperfire 24C trigger in it and went shooting.  The MPX eats anything with no complaints or hiccups.  It also is a soft shooter.  My AR9 shoots just as good as the MPX but it has taken time and money to get it that way.  If I was doing it all over again with the knowledge I have now, I'd buy the MPX, put a HIperfire trigger in it and go shooting without the tuning and testing that my AR 9 needed.  It would be faster and cheaper in the long run.  That being said, I'm quite geeky, so the long tuning process of the AR9 was quite fun, but time consuming.  And yes, the MPX does take a bit more time to clean.  I hope this helps you with your decision.  Good Luck.  As a side note, I put Ultradot Match Dot 2 optics on both guns.  Yes these aren't as light at a small red dot, but their versatility and quality do it for me.  Another 2 cents.


    I hear you on the ar9 r&d. Luckily I have a couple of buddy’s that love that s#!t so I basically bought most everything they run on the ar9. The mpx I shot a couple of weeks ago was so nice. Loved my load. I run the holosun 510c on my Pcc.

    Try both, ask local shooters to try their PCCs. They both can be reliable and fun to shoot. Most of these qualities are shooter preference at the end of the day.
    In fairness, I've seen a fair share of AR9s that fail, too. Any platform will potentially have issue. The key is knowing what's worth changing (ammo, parts, accessories, etc.) and what not to touch. Some PCCs run out of the box, but most IPSC/USPSA shooters will tend to tweak their platform sooner than later.
     
    I started with JP (no complaints, excellent almost every aspect) and ended up with a Sig MPX G2. Several factors made me keep the Sig. I come from Open Div so I like pushing my equipment. Cleaning frequently is an ingrained routine. I like it clean. Cool factor, magazine is curved. I think mags with more than 15 round should have a curved configuration, just my opinion.
     
    Either way, get what fancy you most and make it work. Shooting season has started here in the south and it'll be over with before you know it.
    Cheers!
     


    I shot an ar9 last season. I loved it until I shot one of the new gen 3 mpx’s. That thing was amazing!

    I have an AR9 and thought I had it where no more improvements could be done, thought that it was extremely soft shooting, them I shot an MPX. I ordered one the next day and have been shooting it since. Every once in a while I'll take them both out and shoot them side by side and then I kick the AR9 back to the curb again.
    I have had no issues with my MPX shooting a wide range of power factors. It cycles just fine on 95 grain 93 PF loads too.
     
    OK, I had one issue with the MPX, the trigger sucked so I replaced it with an Eclipse, problem solved. You will clean it a little more than the AR.

    I will definitely be buying an eclipse if I do this.

    So I shot an Ar9 all last year. Shot an mpx last weekend and fell in love. Looking for honest opinions from people who have run both. A buddy has told me about a few issues with the mpx regarding gas port flame cutting, extractors, etc.... I’m looking at the new gen 3 Pcc model. Also I don’t care about the magazine prices lol.

    Looking at chest rigs.

    Not in any way trying to be a dick but going from belt to chest isn't going to solve any loading technique issues.


    For me, everyone is different, the angle I set the shells at to load strong hand, makes it super awkward weak hand. Just want to explore options.

    I have the Invictus 20 round chest rig, works great for what I need it for but I couldn't possibly fit a larger capacity rig on my person. 
    Are you wanting a chest rig for the occasional huge round count shotgun stage or for primary loading use? I ask because depending on your build you might not be happy with using it as a primary system. Without a bit of a belly you'll be pushing out hard on your diaphragm to keep it in place till the end of a stage. It really is exhausting.


    I like to have options. I’m new to shotguns and I’m really struggling weak hand loading.

    Sorta maybe???.....but not really, the TACCOM buffer has a secondary cushion to super slow down the bolt so that it doesn't slam into the back of the buffer tube. We are in the testing phase now......pretty much fast tracking it so it will be available soon.

    Let me know when I can order one. ;)

    So apparently I ordered 3 comps from advanced tactical. [emoji2359] 1 is mine, 1 is sold and I have one more available if anyone missed out. $107.89 shipped is exactly what I paid. Let me know if you need one.
