So i have a gen 3 glock 17C im going to start playing around with more and a crazy idea crossed my mind. Since its a 17C, its already got barrel ports from the factory, what if i also put one of those rail mounted comps on it as well. would it be possible to make it run and how flat would it shoot, the gun already shoots flat as is. for now this gun is a range toy and if it works I might use it in local matches for shits and giggles. just a crazy idea I had and might want to try out

some quick backstory. I just shot my first match which was pistol only and enjoyed it and want to do more specifically of the 2 gun kind. unfortunately the only place that has matches near me only does pistol and PCCs. im looking to build a AR9 for those matches that takes glock mags since I primary shoot glocks. I was going to go with the Aero EPC 9 as a base but I think with their questionable situation it will be hard to come across parts from them. im not looking to build a total race gun but something decent for matches and as a range toy. any recommendations for parts like uppers, lowers, barrels, bolts and handguards if I cant just use standard AR15 handguards? I am planning on having a 16 inch barrel mainly cause i want to use an actual stock and not waste time filing a frankengun pcc as an SBR.

also i know the AR9 platform isnt known for its reliability but i would like these parts to work together for it to be as reliable as possible so I am willing to go higher quality in the areas where it matters to hit that goal
