Modified FM9: Faster Than Jerry Miculek. Maybe.

[@jcnikoley]

Fast only counts when you hit what you’re aiming at. You can’t miss fast enough to win. The muzzle was all over the place in the intro. Definitely not threatening Jerry.

[@tangomantactical]

I have the FM9 with a 10.5" barrel and rear charging. I've got over 1000rds in it. Mine dumps mags naturally. I have the Franklin Arms Gen 3 binary titanium nitride coated and it's shoots completely opposite how yours shoots. I'm not downing.your gun. It looks very cool. I guess I have mine tuned better than what set up you have. I'm using a Odin Works 7.5 lbs buffer and a Tubbs precision 308 flat wound coil spring. My gun absolutely rips. Yes the LPS happens now and then, only have steel with hard primers. Mine shoots like a dream. Zero issues. The customer support treatment too me was excellent. I broke the bolt catch and they sent me out 100% free 2 bolt catches, 2 rods, 2 springs, and 2 mag release springs and several stickers. It got too me 2 days after I called. I have a small you tube channel. 62 subs but over 30 videos. Raw videos but straight to the point. Drop a sub on mine " TANGO MAN TATICAL ". And I will sub yours. Take care God bless

[@michaelrohaley9230]

My FM9 came with a polymer trigger assembly too. I've ordered a CMC drop in single stage trigger, no polymer triggers!!! I also put a SBA4 brace on it. The blade wasn't comfortable for me.

[@marcusxavier4436]

Good review dude straight and to the point

Got this gun in 5” with the tri lug. Love it. I accidentally put (and left) a stock and vertical grip. Oops!! I’ll SBR it when I send off for a CAN for it. Going with the Wolf

Might wanna take that off until you get your tax stamp, just one gun owners to another.

[@cjcoolmoed]

Was able to trigger bump on 1st couple of clips. This gun like shooting fast. Had hang ups with failure to shoot, had primer hit indentation but no ignition. Pulled it apart and found the the striker doesn’t fully extend when pushed in. Pushing bolts and extractor assembly you can see it doesn’t fully extend. Weird but it works some how.

[@morrius0757]

it's made to be 25yrds, 9mm will drop 1.8" at 50, so the drop and rise is very predictable setting it at 25

I think everyone that watched this just went full dad mode watching this , I was about to say watch that index and pinky, I built pretty much the same gun and got bit, chunk of my pinky went missing... but I found it... smashed between the bolt and the upper

@@WoodsDog Any idea for a good red dot??

[@WoodsDog]

@@illmatic826 I have holosun on some of my pistols. They're reliable even Regular Guy Training has used them tens of thousands of rounds. Some people don't like them though because they're a Chinese company. I have the HE510C on an AR, 507C (1 green 1 red) on a couple pistols, and recently got a 407K on my P365. They're all good. Some friends have the Vortex viper red dot. Bushnell is another brand they use too. As for 1-6 scopes if I had the money I'd go with the Viper or even better the Razor HD from Vortex. I have a strike eagle but rather have the others. Sorry I don't have 1 specific recommendation. There's so much good stuff out there.

In the first clip, lean forward a bit as if you’re firing an SMG, that’ll help with the recoil 😉

The hammer was plastic?? Did you physically see this hammer? There's no way there was a plastic hammer on your friend's gun, no way! By the way I have an FM 9 and I love it!

[@ffarmchicken]

Get the Echo II tune up kit. It shortens up the reset and weight.

[@CosmolineDaydream]

Did you take the weight out of the BCG? Is there any safety issue associated with doing do?

[@WoodsDog]

I only added a heavier buffer I think an H3 and leveled the hammer on the trigger. Nothing done to the bcg. I know the lighter weight of a bcg is not bad depending what you're trying to achieve, but the modification of it can disturb the integrity of it. I know people have done it, but I've never done it myself.

[@CosmolineDaydream]

@@WoodsDog thanks for the reply buddy. I have a FM and my bolt extension for my Sylvan won’t stay in with it folded because the weight is in the way. Did yours not come with a weight?

[@WoodsDog]

@@CosmolineDaydream oh! The sylvan weight. Sorry dude I thought you meant the bolt itself. Yeah the weight for the Sylvan doesn't stay in when folded. The Law one does have a safety feature that holds it in but not the Sylvan. It might be do to patent infringement but not sure. And if you remove the plug, the gun won't cycle.

[@WoodsDog]

@@CosmolineDaydream also, if you fire the Sylvan folded, the plug will go flying. I've tested it at the range.

[@CosmolineDaydream]

@@WoodsDog nope. Ha. I meant the weight in the BCG that’s held in place with a roll pin. Did you leave that in? If so, how do you keep the Sylvan plug from just wobbling out when it’s folded?

[@capt.sardonico2197]

Thanks for making this video. I have an FMP-9 and an Echo ARII trigger I was thinking about installing in it. Watching your experience with the jams I'm not so enthusiastic about it. What brand magazines are you using? P.S. Mine came with a metal hammer and trigger.

[@WoodsDog]

Thx. The mags I used were Glock and a korean brand that I can't remember the name of. The Korean mags were really hard to load after 20 rounds unless you hit them on the mag floor plate.

[@summers9911]

Just bought mine today,do they all come with a binary trigger from the factory,i did not get a manual with mine

[@markalton4610]

None of them come with a binary trigger. They are like half the price of the entire gun

[@jeremiahmalsack4718]

With the Sylvan folder, did you have to take out the weight in the FM9 bolt carrier?

[@WoodsDog]

Not that I can remember. Haven't seen that gun in a long time.

[@MrRoro256]

Could you do video installing the folding adapter

[@WoodsDog]

I might do one in the future. I had the footage for it on my 300 blackout but wasn't happy with how it turned out.

[@summers9911]

Can those 2 screws that hold the buttstock tight be loosened & the buttstock be pulled out to make it longer or does it have to stay pushed up all the way,in other words,can the buttstock screws be loosened to make the buttstock longer for a better fit.
