Looking for a AR9 lower WITHOUT a built-in trigger guard.  I am partial to a specific grip that has on it.

Solutions would be:

  • A stripper lower under $125

  • or
  • A complete lower under $200

  • or
  • A complete gun under $600 (like a PSA pre-built)

Leads?

What magazine do you plan to use?

I dont think I've ever seen 9mm dedicated lowers other than colt stick mag that had a standard TG...

H&R would be one but outside your price range.

PSA has thier brand complete colt mag lowers for $199.

I’ve heard fairly good reviews on the CMMG gen2 9mm magazines, which are standard size.

I’d probably run those on one of my existing lowers rather than buy a glock/uzi mag type lower, mainly because I think it’s ugly(DOE reps notwithstanding).

Black Creek Precision made a forge lower with the skinny mag well with the replaceable trigger guard. Not sure if they are still in business anymore. I think this lower is being used by Springfield and many other co for their Colt style 9mm.

Thanks guys for the responses.  I missed a critical need as one of you pointed out.  I am looking for a Glock mag lower.

Those will only work with the CMMG fixed ejector uppers. The mag dosen't have an ejector.

MEAN ARMS Exomags w/ejector and the older endomag w/ejector inserts for pmag M2 bodies will work if you wanted to use a standard lower/blowback upper. Downside with either option, when you drop the mag you cannot clear a chambered rd since the ejector is on the removed magazine... the live rd will just stay with the bolt.

If you're looking for 80%, there's THIS
They also sell an anodized lower, but it's currently OOS.

Given the design, I don’t see how that’s possible with a Glock mag lower.
