Nice 9mm barrel
The barrel is accurate fit and finish is very good nice barrel.

Great 16” 9mm barrel option!
If you are wanting to stick with a 16” barrel and note go the 9mm pistol or SBR route, the integral flash hider and muzzle brake 9mm barrels are awesome options! As usual for Faxon, great fit, finish, and accuracy!

Fantastic idea
I have both the 5.56 and 9mm 3 port integral barrels and I really hope you expand to other calibers as well. 45 ACP, 10mm, 300 blackout, .308 ect as well as maybe making pistol length versions as well. Can't ask for anything more then these except well... more of these!

This barrel is fantastic! It shoots sub MOA and everyone I let use the rifle was amazed that they could ring 4" steel disks at 150 yards.
