The AR9G uses receivers made from 7075 grade aluminum billet that fit very tightly together because of a tension buffer installed in the rear of the lower, and close manufacturing tolerances.Īdd to that a match-grade free-floating Shaw barrel, Wilson’s own aluminum handguard, Q-COMP Flash Hider, drop-in trigger group, and optional flip-up iron sights. BCM GUNFIGHTER grip is more comfortable than milspec grip. Large, integral winter trigger guard aids in operation with thick gloves. Location of controls duplicates AR-15, but bolt catch is much wider and easier to reach. The result is a highly accurate, reliable and very easy to shoot carbine. Bill Wilson designed the AR9 for home defense and competition, so he carefully selected features and incorporated premium components with those uses in mind. The AR-15 is a somewhat modular design, so selecting suitable components for its intended use matters considerably in how this gun performs in the field. Now that the FBI has a newfound fondness for the round after testing the newest loads, the perceived need for agencies to upsize to the. Short Barreled Rifle versions with 8- and 11.3-inch barrels are also made, for those who desire a briefcase-length rifle of 25.5 or 28.5 inches, but 9mm is the only intended caliber, and a select-fire version will not be made. Two other versions that use Beretta 92 and Smith & Wesson M&P magazines are also offered. The “G” in the model name designates the use of Glock magazines. The AR9G was released in early 2016 and is Wilson Combat’s first blowback operated AR-15 style rifle. Wilson Combat TRIM rail handguard is also an option. Customers can order Wilson Combat AR9 in various configurations, including SBR shown here with KeyMod-type handguard. But perhaps the best advantage of the 9mm over the 5.56 NATO is the interchangeability of ammunition and sometimes magazines with duty sidearms. The 9mm also generates less muzzle flash and noise, and its ballistics grant greater access to indoor ranges that often lack backstops that can accommodate the 5.56 (Frangible ammo solves the backstop problem, but at much greater ammo cost).Īmmunition is also less costly, and most 9mm sound suppressors can be used on pistols and carbines. Operationally, the 9mm is ideal in extreme CQB/room-to-room maneuvers where the added range and velocity of the 5.56 are not necessary. Though the 5.56 NATO does not look like it will be supplanted any time soon, 9mms compare favorably in several respects, especially since newer 9mm loads with modern bullet designs perform much better than in the past. Carbines such as the Beretta CX4 are used by several state university police departments, while a few sheriff’s departments use the CZ EVO. The 5.56mm NATO caliber AR-15 holds sway for police patrol rifles, but 9mm shoulder-fired weapons occupy a place in many armories, typically as submachine guns.
