I havent seen alot of posts about forum members documenting their conversion journey but I have seen other ppl posting unanswered questions, so I am putting this together to hopefully help others...
I started out with a Century MKE AP5 SD with the magpul brace bought directly from Atlantic.
Shopped conversions and looked at greasegunner (very helpful), hitec arms (very helpful), ronin (his SD-K conversion was very tempting and looks awesome), and RalphSr & RalphJr (both very helpful)
It was a hard decision to pick from the above conversion teams because they really all seem to really know their craft, are all very cool to speak with personally, and each seem to offer something unique or of their own to the process.
At this time, I also was really struggling with a suppressor decision - HTA 9" is serviceable and gets good reviews (I do like shorty); ronin K option seems amazing; spoke with Ralph Sr about his secret sauce supp and looked at B&Ts both new and old... hearing about BRT adapters nearly melted my brain...
I had almost firmly landed on a BRT with Cash Mob since this would be my first 9mm can and I wanted to get to use it on other things; but I was worried about my MKE cage being bent/ crooked and causing rubbing etc... so I priced out switching to TheOneCage to ensure the cage was true and had a larger ID - but that cost as much as a suppressor! So then HTA had a price reduction/ coupon on the BLACK (not weird grey) PrintX SD modular... ok that narrowed it for me... Im going HTA with the coupon and going dedicated with the B&T SD modular can.
[still think i will pick up a BRT adapter just need to figure out what general 9mm can i will get in the future]
I would feel 100% confident going with any of the builders listed above - not a single concern... the ronin K still has me intrigued TBH!
So off my upper went to HTA... should be there today... more to come...
