The Wilson Combat AR-9 Carbine in 9mm is a pistol-caliber AR with a 16-inch barrel and a lower receiver that takes Glock magazines (brand part no. TR-AR9G-B91610). Wilson Combat designed the AR-9 from the ground up for reliability rather than converting an AR-15, with billet upper and lower receivers and a closed-bolt blowback action. The 5/8×24 muzzle comes with a Q-Comp, and the carbine is finished in Armor-Tuff over hard anodized receivers. It makes a soft-shooting choice for patrol, home defense and low-cost training.
