    Hey all
    I'm interested in building an AR pistol which accepts glock mags.
    I'm in the research phase of this and looking for thoughts, experience, or any direction in this.
    Leaning more towards pistol configuration over carbine due to likelihood future change to SBR.
    Interested in components sourcing, reliability, ar style vs manufactured pistols such as scorpion, etc.
    Thanks for the help guys.

    I did a Colt pattern AR9 build awhile back, while reading and looking around for info on that I always seen Quarter Circle 10 being the main name thrown out as the go to for Glock style AR9 parts.

    New Frontier armory makes a great Glock compatible lower. I did one a little while back with a side charging upper and I love it.

    Joebobs has a lot of 9mm parts.

    I know a guy that bought this from Orion.

    Thor 9mm AR Pistol Glock mags

    He doesn't have but maybe 300 rounds through it yet but no jams or feeding issues. He called Orion and they were great to deal with. They told him they put it together and test run each one before shipping. I put the Thordsen stock kit on his for him and it is even better now. The BCG in his says RRA on the side of it. (Rock River AR9 bolt?)

    I'm still building mine because I know I can do it cheaper and shorter OAL. Besides I like the build factor it.
