There are many reasons to own a firearm, but there are also a few key things to consider when choosing your next gun. One of those critical factors is the safety features.
Among those safety features is last round bolt hold open and magazine release controls that are ambidextrous. This means the FM-9 is compatible with both right and left-handers.
Safety
The FM9 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to take their AR training up a notch. Its unique design incorporates a patent-pending para-style charging handle to allow shooters to load without coming off their sights.
In addition, the FM9 features a last-round bolt hold-open feature that allows users to determine when they’ve fired all their rounds quickly. This allows for a quick and easy reload and helps prevent the gun from accidentally firing when you’re not meant to do so.
GLOCK has a revolutionary safety system that consists of three passive, independently operating mechanical safeties built into the pistol’s fire control system. These safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released. This system is safe even when the pistol is dropped. It also functions at temperatures from -40deg to 122deg Fahrenheit.
Accuracy
One of the best things about FM-9 guns is their accuracy. They are built to be very accurate and can be sighted in at 50 yards with a rifle optic and a laser.
A full 50-round belt of 9mm can be fired into a 6-inch by 6-inch target at that distance. This is an awe-inspiring performance for a blowback-operated PCC or sub-gun with a quick attach barrel!
In addition, the FM-9 is very reliable. During the Glock tests, they had zero malfunctions or hiccups with the unit.
Reliability
The FM-9 boasts some features you won’t find on your average sub-caliber AR. For starters, the upper receiver is crafted from solid forged 7075 T6 aluminum, making it one of the lighter 9mm PCCs on the market. The lower receiver is also made from a more robust grade of aluminum. The FM-9 is also the first sub-caliber 9mm carbine to utilize a 4340 bolt-carrier group based on the Glock and Magpul (Glock-pattern) magazine dimensions instead of the more clumsy 5.56 NATO standard.
The FM-9 has its drawbacks, however. It’s not the most user-friendly or convenient to carry around. Still, it does offer some exciting features that make it a worthwhile investment for anyone in the market for a reliable sub-caliber 9mm carbine. The most notable feature is the above patented and licensed last-round bolt hold-open that enables reloading the gun’s magazine. This technology is accompanied by an impressively designed mag well that flares the big ball. In short, the FM-9 is a well-built and stylish 9mm pistol that’s worth the hype.
Versatility
One of the most appealing aspects of owning an FM-9 is its versatility. It comes in three different barrel lengths and is a drop-in unit that can be used with either an AR-15 semi-auto lower receiver or a select-fire M-16 rifle lower receiver.
It also has a bolt and carrier that interfaces with the 5.56 lower receiver’s existing buffer and recoil spring. It can also be adjusted to accommodate the cyclic rate of various types of ammunition.
The FM-9 also features a patented bolt hold-open feature that allows you to reload the gun with a single hand without charging it as you would on an AK. It has a forward charging handle that lives in an ergonomic position on the handguard, so it’s easy to operate with a weaker hand.
In addition to these significant advantages, the FM-9 has a grip mag holder that can be adjusted to hold any Glock magazine. It’s a feature that can be very useful if you carry the gun for home defense purposes.
