Looking for a solid review of the Crusader 9

[Greenman]

Does anyone have a hands on review for the Crusader 9, accuracy , reliability?

Best I've seen is Code of Arms or Justin Doe on Youtube.

Not a lot of independent info on these currently.

I saw those thank you . I was looking for some additional ones as well

Avoid...expensive, heavy and poor QC.

I agree with buddy above. Also, if your buying it hoping to add the 223 upper later, do you really want a 223 blowback rifle?

The .223 upper is not blowback, it is piston 180 based design, but it uses a thicker, mid length piston that should have a gentler recoil impulse and be more durable then the thinner, carbine length one found on the MCR and WK. The Code of Arms spent the day with the Crusader/Spectre crew pumping 1300 rounds through the upper, so at least one example is quite robust. Only time will tell if its durable, and if the blowback based Crusader 9 upper is durable.

You may want to message Justin Doe on YouTube, he posted some videos recently of firing at both an indoor and outdoor range, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5bKoQcVME_w_BwVXkNC3cg/videos.

I stand corrected, thanks for the info. I guess time will tell.
