Sig MPX vs AR-9mm

[neomedic]

I like the AR 9 option because u can customize it a lot more ... Also u might want to look into the Scorpion Evo Carbine option ... Great gun ... I have both of those and luv them ... My AR 9 is on a pistol configuration since I live in state that allows them as CCW ....

Consider a CZ Scorpion Evo.....reliability report? How many rounds down range and any issues to date? Thanks.

I think I know the answer but. .......which one has the best trigger, or trigger option. Might to be fun to use at 3-guns with shorter shots, under 70 yards.

I actually have both.

I built a AR-9 with a DDLES lower a few year back. It was the non-glock version and uses Colt pattern mags. It took a few tries to get the everything "tuned" so that it would be reliable. To me, the recoil is more than what a AR-15 would deliver, but still manageable. I was and am very happy with my build, but was a bit frustrating to get it right. If you intend to use Colt pattern mags, stick with Metalform. Skip the C-Products. That was part of the problem. Also, took a few tries to find the right balance between buffer weight and bullet.

I really liked, but had no intention of buying an MPX. However, I had an opportunity to shoot one and it just felt "right". The recoil is soft and it was very accurate. A real pleasure to shoot. So I bought one just this past summer.

While both shoot 9mm, they are very different experiences.

I spent about $1500 on the AR-9 build and about $1900 for the MPX - not including mags. Don't know if that helps your decision, but that's been my experience.

It's also worth noting, that your mileage may vary when you build your own 9mm AR.

Yes, the answer is "E. All of the above"



What if Sig decides to drop the entire line, like they did with the 556/556xi series when they decided the MCX line had better sales potential.

556xi caliber conversion kits, anyone?

The 556 is still for sale and listed on their website.

Probably the Sig, never had any issues finding parts for any one of their guns.

put it this way. Which would be easier to get parts for in the next 8 years or so...

Probably the Sig, never had any issues finding parts for any one of their guns. The AR9 and all its variation has zero standardization so if the OEM goes down, then so does my gun.

MPX built to be a 9mm, not adapted to be a 9mm. The CZ scorpion and Kriss Vector gen 2 should also be considered.

Controls arent very stoner like on the CZ and Kriss but i have looked in to them.

MPX built to be a 9mm, not adapted to be a 9mm like the AR. The CZ scorpion and Kriss Vector gen 2 should also be considered. Kriss has the advantage of time in production, comes in three calibers, and Glock mags. CZ scorpion has a price advantage. MPX gen 2, trying to make up for the false start of the gen 1. Mags are expensive. All three have military/police subgun acceptance. The AR 9, more of an interesting platform adaptation.

The last couple threads on this exact subject seem to be quite personal preference. Both are great for different things. You need to be much more specific on your intended needs and purposes and current magazines you posses

Currently have no glock mags.
