Very nice. I guess I could have included a pic, but compared to yours I would be embarrassed.

No need to be embarrassed Bob, especially since it will perform its intended purpose. I have some in the same configuration as yours (most though do have braces), this is just the one I have on the side of my bed (among othersVery nice.

Nice, I have a lower like that with the foam on buffer tube that I can swap 556 and 300 Blk Out uppers. If memory servers, they're in the 9"-10" range and both have cheap red dots on them, but will do the job.No frills. Everything I need and nothing I don't.
Here's my bedside keeper an Aero M4E1 .300BLK I currently have the mag topped off with 30 rounds of 240gr Cor-Bon subsonic ammo, Holosun 510c and a Rugged Razor suppressor attached to the muzzle just in case something goes bump in the night I can bump back quietly....

Nice 10mm. I need to get me a suppressor like that for mine.Here's my bedside keeper an Aero M4E1 .300BLK I currently have the mag topped off with 30 rounds of 240gr Cor-Bon subsonic ammo, Holosun 510c and a Rugged Razor suppressor attached to the muzzle just in case something goes bump in the night I can bump back quietly....

It's a lot easier now with the E-form process live. You can setup an account with Silencer shop to make the process really easy and have your suppressor approved in as little as 90 days. My last suppressor was filed through E-form and I took a little longer to get approved but I filed when they were still working the bugs out of the E-form system.

That's great! When can I expect your check so that I can pay for one?
The Rugged Obsidian 9 on my Scorpion can be used for 9mm (any velocity) and also .300BLK (subsonic ammo only) which makes this a pretty versatile option also.
The Scorpion is loaded with 35 rounds of 150gr Federal Synech subsonic.
I know you have a few Scorpions so I thought I'd share this info.

One thing I'll mention about a 5.56 AR for home defense is that no matter how you set it up, if you aren't wearing ear pro or using a suppressor you will go deaf after the first shot and you will have permanent hearing damage. Successive shots will only damage your hearing more. An enclosed CQB environment amplifies gunshots tremendously.
An AR-9, PC Charger, CZ Scorpion, etc...etc... are all great options for an HD weapon.

I put various platforms into three classes.
CQB = less than/equal to 50 yds.
Mid-Range = 50 to 200 yds.
Long range = 200 yds +
Each class has it's representive platforms.
Agreed!
I live by modest means so the interior of my house has never exceeded 50 or more yards.....

Yup, I do have 2 scorpions, so thanks 10mm. You know I'm kidding with ya on this suppressor subject . I appreciate the info, and may ask more questions when I get my financial house in better order. I did know you could use some suppressors for multiple caliber, but truthfully, when finances allow, I'd like to get one for some of the 30 cals I own, and one for my 9mm & 45 acp caliber firearms. The info you provided on the E-forms sounds like it will speed the process up immensely.

Yup, and I got a bunch of them (not only those you mentioned, but HK SP5, PTRs 9ct & 9kt, MPX K and Copperhead, Stribogs 9A1K & A3, and CMMG Banshee MKIII. Probably forgetting some too)
