Technically, no one really needs a car better than a K-Car. Most would strive for something better just because they can.
... and just what was on this shorty LMT to make it $4000? Was there two bolted together?
Anyone know if this company has canadian dealers?? Their AR's are sick

The LMT had like dual optics, handguards, you know totally souped up.
High end AR's aren't more dependable, if anything they are less dependable because of the tighter tolerences.

Oly generally suck, they are low quality, I would bet that the Chinese M4's are way better quality. On another note, they are the only ones which use the pistol mags in the rifle, that is why I bought it, so I can use my 10 rounds G17 mags in it. But now RRA has 10 round pistol mags for their 9mm AR's.

The practical limitation to either is about 100M...I've shot out to 200M but accuracy suffers and ballistic trajectory is like an artillery shell.
These carbines are intended primarily for CQB and really shine in that role, plus being much less expensive to feed.
In terms of "punch" how much is required to put a hole in a paper target or ballon? 9mm works just fine in that role. They'll also ring the gong okay and should work fine for IPSC poppers at CQB ranges.
I doubt if either a .45ACP or 9mm will have sufficient energy left at 200M to reliabily drop a heavy popper, but then again, I've never tried...so I could be completely out to lunch!
At the end of the day, the only guy you have to please is yourself, so if an Oly does it for you, then by all means have at it! I think most of the guys in this thread were genuinely attempting to offer you sound advice. For the same or near the same cash, you can purchase a higher quality rifle, with better fit/finish and which will offer better re-sale value.
I'm not currently aware of any retailer/distributor bringing in Oly stuff. IIRC, Questar brought some in several years ago, but nothing recently. You might try placing a WTB ad in the EE or attempt to import one yourself from the US. Questar offers the same service, but at a premium price these days thanks to the US State Dept. export restrictions. Whatever you decide, good luck!...and remember, a day at the range with a crappy AR is better than any other day you're not at the range!

yeah I did some reading and no one is importing them cause of problems. Oh well back to the drawing board
The AR platform is a RIFLE not a SUBGUN. The invention of Sub cal AR's was a solution to a mythical problem known as over penetration.

The 9mm Ar's are pretty good to 50yds, rediculously accurate considering it's a pistol round. I have no other experience past that distance. We use them for internal armed posts at work. They handle well and are well balanced. I'd own one but for the price.
