So, I am putting together a build list and here is what I have so far. Let me know what you think. Part of the choices are due to a dealer relationship and I would like to get everything at one place Upper Receiver Gibbz Arms G9 9MM Side Charging Upper Receiver Lower Receiver Gibbz Arms G9 9MM Lower Receiver Handguard Gibbz Arms Gen 2 15.0" Ultra Lite Hand Guard Bolt Gibbz Arms G9 9mm pistol caliber ar Bolt Right Hand Barrel YHM 16.5" 9mm barrel non Chrom YHM-90-T Compensator YHM YHM-85-MB-A Slant Brake/Comp 1/2-36 9mm Lower Parts Kit DD LPK 556 BLK Daniel Defens lower receiver parts kit Trigger ELF AR9/AR45 Match Trigger Straight Stock Battle Arms Sabertube and Bad LBS combo buffer tube/butt stock (providing it will work with a 9mm buffer ) buffer and spring Angstadt AA09BUFKIT Buffer and spring kit

I'd read this thread and it will give you some ideas. When I had tumbling I was shooting Berry's bullets in my glock. I switched to xtreme and haven't had problems since.

So if I am understanding correctly you have fiber optic on both the front and rear sights? I should have clarified that I am only using fiber optics on the front site. I am not a fan of a 3 dot sight so I don't think I'd like fiber optics on the rear

I sure like my 38SC. Granted I watch brass like a hawk, but I do like it.

For rain and colder weather I use plain old gun oil. I had a match last month and had slide guide and had to clean it all off in the rain and switch to oil to get my gun up and running.

I have settled on Tripps cobra mags for my 1911. I ordered one of tripps, chip mccormic, and wilson Mags. I never had a problem with the tripps so I ordered more. I didn't have any issues with the chip mccormic mags either, but I liked the Tripps better. My gun doesn't like the wilson mags so I gave them to a friend.

I don't think a small rifle primer would bend this firing pin. I use small rifle primers in my 38SC open pistol and have no issues. They don't appear to be any harder than any other primers

I have an astigmatism and all dots in red dots are distorted. If there is a reticle, it is not distorted. I am running 1-6 ffp scope on my AR and when I am on 1x the reticle is small enough that it looks like a dot. I don't have a PCC set up yet, so it may not work well for that, but it seems to work well in 3 gun

memphis you do have a point. Maybe I should just go with an ar9

By extreme holdover do you mean the offset for the height over bore? I guess I am not understanding what you mean. Also, are reloads with a pistol caliber harder than with a rifle? While the reloads in my tavor are different in the AK or AR, I do not think that they suck. I started out with an AK and so I could say that reloads in my AR suck because they are different than my AK and I have thousands more reps of reloading my AK than AR. If it is much worse with the pistol than with Rifle magazines, that makes sense.

It is a very valid reason. I was just wondering if the tavor sucks for PCC. Unfortunately I cannot shoot one and see how it works and before I spend the money on the kit, I'd like to research it. If going the AR9 route is what I need to do, I can. I like my tavor but as I am playing the game I am learning that the gear won't win you matches, but you can be disadvantaged by the gear.

I have an EFK fire dragon Glock 20 conversion barrel in 40 s&w and it functions well and shoots better than I do. I’m not finding a g35 barrel in their site at the moment, but I’m also not seeing the barrel that I got from them. I’ll try to remember to check tomorrow when I am on the computer and not my phone

Did he ever say why he went away from the Tavor? Maybe he is just a guy that likes to buy new guns or maybe he had a valid reason for going away from it?

Yep. Couldn’t deal with the stock on.

Not really interested in the ruger carbines.

I replaced the trigger with a Geissle trigger and it is better than my Lantac trigger in my ar

Some valid points for sure

Very good thread. Makes me think that getting the conversion kit would be the better option

Why do you think that the Tavor is slower than other options?

I probably should concentrate on the ar if this would be my reasoning

Valid points for sure. The mental peace that is provided outweighs any advantage that a 9mm would provide. Plus you get a bigger bullet that might break the line in the score box in certain situations

Did you ever determine what your problem was?

I hate to sound like a glock fan boy, but I have a 2011 open gun and I am seriously considering listing it in the b/s/t because I shot my glock at a 3 gun match last weekend and it felt so good

I like the 115grain rainer bullets with 5.4 grains of unique powder and federal small pistol primers. Beware of Berry's bullets in glocks. I've had them tumble

Anyone use a 9mm tavor for PCC? I have a tavor and have considered getting the conversion kit for 9mm. I've also considered just getting an ar style PCC. Let me know what your thoughts are
