9mm Straight Pull Options
Hi
I'm looking to buy a 9mm straight pull AR, has anyone got experience with one? I've seen a few YouTube videos from the shooting show a while back, there is a video of a Lantac being tested on a range, a few websites listing things but not much else. The options that I've found seem to be Lantac, Calibre Innovations, Schmeisser and T2, have I missed any? I don't know who's actively building and shipping them though. I assume that everybody direct except from Schmeisser which I've seen advertised through Valmont. I like the idea of a full size lower but I've also seen issues in the US of with 9mm inert thingie that goes into a P-Mag. I also really like a right hand charging handle on the bolt rather than an enlarged T handle.
I'd had a play with a lever release before I bought mine but I'm totally in the dark with these straight pulls.

I’ve only seen two, Calibre Innovations that was proper pants. Felt cheap and it certainly wasn’t. And the Lantac, which I saw at a distance. And I’d like other Lantacs will ouse quality and feel very expensive, which it is!
Schmeisser do one? That could be interesting.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: 9mm Straight Pull Options
I haven't actually seen a Schmeisser other than a video of an overseas glock mag semi auto one so maybe they are still being developed for the UK market. I've seen a 223 straight pull version with a nice chunky bolt handle on it which looked quite nice.

BamBam on this forum owns a 9mm Lantac straight pull, I have seen it and as usual for Lantac is seems a very well built firearm.

Re: 9mm Straight Pull Options
My Lantac works great and unlike a few of the other offerings doesn't require a hefty pull on the charging handle to get it to extract properly.
Can get empty cases to land at my right elbow or go half way across the range.
They start at £2195 for the 16" and various option are available.
Only the coating, optic and mount are different on mine from standard 16", so the Radian CH and ambi safety are standard, as is the trigger 3.5lb single stage.
Magpul stock and grip as standard, can't remember if MBUS were included as I never take these out of the bag, 9mm version of the Lantac Dragon muzzle brake.
Magazines use an internal adapter to feed 9mm from a standard PMAG.

Re: 9mm Straight Pull Options
Thanks BamBam. Very nice looking rifle. I'm hoping to get one in a shorter barrel but I don't know if they are available.

Re: 9mm Straight Pull Options

Re: 9mm Straight Pull Options
I’ve just ordered one in 14.5”. The barrels come in at 16 and have to be cut down and recrowned.
Thanks for the help everybody. I’ll post a pic when it arrives.

Re: 9mm Straight Pull Options
You'll probably want a 13.5" handguard at that barrel length.

Yes that's the one that was recommended to me so I've ordered it with one.
