wild bill from United States, CA Public Profile

I use my side charging 16 inch carbine for pcc competitions and have never had a failure to feed that wasn't a problem with a reload I made. I use primarily ETS clear magazines all work well and i love the 40 rounders. I did have some magazine problems with the stock springs but wolf springs cured that problem.

The side charge is cool and ambidextrous for you lefties, but I wish for an ambi bolt release, guess you cant have it all. Last week I had a roll pin bust in the bolt weight but was very easy to replace. I also added a taccom buffer and its a very smooth shooting carbine. Customer service is great and Paul Noonan is super helpful. Its easy to clean and runs excellent. I learned that the difference in the fm-9 and other carbines is the magazine angle, its designed to use glock mags but what most people fail to recognize is that the glock pistols rock the barrel for feeding and not so in a carbine which led to many feed problems with pcc's using glock mags.

FYI like many I started with the ruger pcc and i liked it but it was very heavy and not suitable for USPSA run and gun. The fm9 is the perfect match of weight speed and accuracy. All for half the price of a JP carbine
