How do you feel about the Colt 9mm SMG?

I recently learned about this gun and it seems rather impressive. Has anyone hands on experience with/owns one if so what are the pros and cons for such a weapon?

Only consider getting a PCC (pistol caliber carbine) if your rifle needs are already filled. It's really hard to justify a PCC when you don't have a real rifle.

The Colt or any other PCC built on the AR framework are finicky. I've seen plenty, including real 100% Colt PCCs that just never worked all the time. Feeding problems seem to be the most common one I've observed. The PCC that Olympic Arms makes that uses a dedicated receiver and Glock pistol mags has had the best reliability, in my experience.

After watching the guys struggle with the 9mmP AR PCCs I went a slightly route. BSW

Welcome to THR.

Which model of 9mm? The carbine or the DEA9?

They are a lot of fun to shoot. The pro's are you can switch the upper to any caliber you choose.

The con's are, restricted where to shoot and ammo goes fast.

Personally, I went for the Beretta CX4 over the Colt.
