PSA 9mm Glock mag AR mini review

[batmunch]

it's just a 16" barrel.

I know. I've only seen pistol length AR-9s so I was curious if there were any benefits to a longer barrel length.

I'm surprised you've never seen an AR9 carbine. There are a lot of them out there from several different companies. Pistol caliber carbines are fun to shoot and practice with. Plus, the ammo costs less. As far as benefits, a little higher velocity and longer sight radius. I've shot AR9 pistols before, and they are fun to shoot. But I have no need for one. That's what my Glocks are for.(Not trying to be a smart ass.)

I do like the idea of an SBR AR9. I've seen many nice ones here on INGO.


Btw, welcome to

First off, thank you for the welcome! And along those lines, I've just recently started getting into guns so there's still a lot to learn! I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I wasn't trying to be bothersome, just ignorant I guess? Haha

No bother at all. Many helpful people here. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Got one on it's way, wondering if I can adapt or just slap on my Colt Mag upper, it's also a PSA AR9 (earlier version) and it runs very well, with the PSA/Colt style mags. I have at least 99 rounds (3 mags) through it so far. I now have a G34 and a good # of Glunk mags in 9mm, including a drum, so a forged blemished lower for $119.99 was too good to pass up! Merry Xmas to me, I guess

Should have asked before you bought. Might be wrong, but pretty sure the Glock and Colt versions are not compatible.

I think the PSA G9 ar's use dedicated components.
I have had good results from mine. Haven't had any feed issues or failure to eject. I ran cheap blazer brass ammo.

You will need a new bolt carrier (or modify the current one) to use your Glock magazines in the existing upper. The Colt magazines are double stack and the Glock magazines are single stack, so the bottom of the bolt carrier is too wide on the Colt mag bolts.

Finally built it, just waiting on the KAK AR-9 buffer kit, gonna run it around the 5.5oz that PSA recommends, heavier if I suppress it.
I can run the 16" carbine upper on the glock mags, if I use the G9 bolt. Prolly not really ever do that, no reason to have a 16" barrel on a pistol lower.
