Been reading up a bit on AR9s.. not sure I will go this route but may pickup a dedicated lower for a rainy day.
From what I'm learning, they seem to have addressed bolt lock back on empty for glock mags, but maybe the solution isn't quite as eloquent as colt mags..
Glock mags are cool, but at the same time colt pattern mags are quite available, and few of us are going to want 33 round mags for an actual Glock pistol (ie so if you own both an AR9 and a pistol, although it's possible you aren't really sharing mags)..
I learned Aero is getting into the business (and I'm a huge fan of theirs) but will be patterning on Glock mags.. stuff is just showing signs of life on upper parts, lowers no SOL yet but I bet the virus crap is slowing them down..
Then on an aside I'm reading due to the blowback design and lack of locking lugs on the bolt, AR9s have an awful tendency to allow out of battery firing. I don't quite understand this part, seems like the bolt carrier should block the hammer from contacting the firing pin until the bolt is full closed. Anyone understand this feature/problem with AR9s?
Anyway, opinions? Ideas? Kinda leaning toward putting a Spikes colt pattern lower in the safe, see what Aero offers for upper and lower parts to build out the rest.
