Obviously it's a compatible system since a lot of guys use them on pistol caliber AR's.  I'm wondering how the cocking lever grabs the bolt since on a 9mm bolt, there's no special cam pin for the cocking handle to catch.  
Just curious

nope it works with any 9mm bolt.

I'm guessing the side charger handle grabs the bolt carrier the same way a standard charging handle does, by interfacing with the step on the top-front surface of the carrier.  I think the modified cam pin is only needed on normal AR BCGs because the location of the side charging handle would interfere or run into a standard cam pin, so you need the "relieved" pin in that application.
