FM15 9in 5.56 accuracy?

I'm looking for a bag gun, debating between a 9in FM15 upper to put on an SCO-15 Ambi lower and a Flux P365 Raider. Both are gonna cost me about $500 to get set up from what I've got.

I've heard the short barrel FMs have some accuracy issues. This is for event and executive protection, as a civilian, for an organization and people (myself included) that are facing an uptick in actionable threats (yay politics).

What are we looking at for 100y, 250y and 500y accuracy on the 9in FM15 uppers?

Vendor for custom suits?

Here's what im working with:

- Work is giving me a $500 bonus in the form of any non-visa gift card (think Nordstrom, Indochino, any larger retailer, local custom tailors less likely)

- $750-$1000 budget ($500 + [$250-$500])

- I'm getting married in February '27, and need a tux

- 46L jacket w/ 13 in drop to waistline, 32/36 boot cut pant (wearing python square toe boots

- Local to Colorado Springs, willing to drive to Denver

​

​

So my question is, for a custom Tux, sub-$1000, somewhere where my employer can figure out how to get a gift card, what would you all recommend?

Suppressor Holsters?

Strike Arms g19 lower and upper with an Obsidian 9, and ive got a tlr 1 hl-x and a tlr 7 that I could holster it with.

​

Im aware of Rounded holsters, Hush holsters, and Close Quarters Carry. I'm looking to get two holsters for it, one for a drop leg (true north concepts) and one for a bag (kydex/carbon direct mount).

​

Any other brands or custom shops to consider? CQC looks great but it's pricey...

Best muzzleloader for Colorado bear hunting

Fiance pulled a muzzleloader bear tag, we've been tracking two of them, both 400+ lb black bears, and we need a CO Legal muzzleloader for the fall. Looking to get something cheap but effective, pre-owned is fine! What are we getting ourselves in to and what would you recommend?

Planning to carry a Beretta PX4 in .40 with 200gr underwood as a last resort, any concerns with that?

Budget Laser/Illum

Pulling the trigger on a budget (sub $500) Laser/Illuminator to deal with chicken predators (suppressed .223/22lr). Pretty much set on the SMS Trinity, but want to gut-check it. Any reason I should get the HFXC, RovyVon, or some ebay/evolution/specprecision clone?

Few Questions:

  1. Any issues with an ambi lower on the FM-15 upper?
  2. Any issues with the AS Design Arc-Fire FRTs on the FM-15 upper?
  3. Planning to build it as a suppressed 300blk, anyone had success with a cheap gas block or should I just get an AGB?
  4. Anyone know the interior dimension of the handguard? Wondering how short I can run the barrel with a Nomad-L tucked. I can also put a smaller 30 can on it.
