Anyone other than Quarter Circle 10 (Link) have dedicated 9mm lowers with small magwell?  Only interested in Colt magazine styles.

I've found Rock River, CMMG etc but they all have the magwells that look like a regular AR15.  Plan a dedicated 9mm SBR and like the look of the magwell sized to the magazine.



Also, any other source of side-charger uppers for 9mm.  I've seen Matrix.  Hoping to do a side charger to minimize gas in the face (will be suppressed)


Small Magwell 9mm Lowers:
Quarter Circle 10
Black Creek Precision
MGI
Gun Point
Palmetto State Armory


9mm Side Chargers
Matrix
New Frontier

I don't know if this will help but SMF Tactical, out here in Calif, has dedicated 9mm 80% lowers, I believe they start at $89 and depending on finish go up.  I have 2 and several partners have them also.
JoeBob outfitters was selling side charging uppers for $199 last week, two of us have them and they work great.

This is a dedicated 9MM lower I've been interested in. Gun Point 9MM AR Lowers
ETA: Now that I look at the Black Creek Precision I think I prefer the look of the forged lower.

When I bought my Black Creek EF9 last year, I waited a couple weeks. The guy I talked to recommended the Gun Point if I was in a hurry. I got the impression BCP makes the Gunpoint Lowers.

If you do some looking, you'll find more lower and upper receivers.

I'm currently running a NFA side charger upper with great results.
I'm using their BCG, but that shouldn't make a difference if you use a different BCG.

If you can find a Palmetto State Defense lower still floating around, they use colt mags with a regular AR  mag catch.

Also....search these threads for information.

The Gibbs side charger works great on 9mm. I used it before I replaced it with my Matrix side charging 9mm. My Matrix 9mm took some break in time. American Spirit arm made a side charging up but expect grit in your teeth with it when shooting suppressed. They designed it wrong.

Add PSA to your list.

Thanks for all the replies, many more options than I knew about (updated list in the OP for a quick links).


For side chargers: will any AR side charger work or is there something different in the bolt/carrier?  ie. the GIBBZ side charger mentioned above looks to be for a "normal" AR15, I assume any side charging upper will work with a 9mm?

Nice to see PSA has them, all the others are quite expensive for a lower.

If you already have your rail, make sure the side charger will work. I bought the NFA side charging upper for my QC10 build and it wouldnt fit with my rail(Rainier Force). I ended up using the QC10 mur upper.
