I like to pair my pistols with a carbine that accepts the same mags. I could have bought a Response or FPC from Smith or a Sub-2000 from Kel-Tec (I have one, it's nice) but I had parts that included a AR-9 barreled upper and a AR lower. Talk about a perfect match. It went in easy and setting it up (the three set screws) was quick. After one trip to the range it has been flawless. It stayed secure and no issues with mags, feeding or ejecting. If you have an M&P in 9mm or .40 S&W this may be a way to add a long gun that shares mags, ammo and keeps the recoil down.
Pros:
- Solid well built
- easy to install
Would recommend: Yes

It's a nicely made adapter but very expensive for what it is. Perhaps the premium price is commanded by the best product in the market? Sure, if it works!
Had immediate issues with Foxtrot Mike FM-9 upper. The bolt would not close into battery. After some research, found this to be an issue but none of the sales info mentioned it. It was a bad surprise at the end of a highly anticipated build. I could send the bolt in for modification but then the FM warranty might void.

This adapter may not fit all receivers well. It is tight on mine but works.

Fits and works great. Money and time saver not having to buy and build a stripped lower.

I don't have Glock mags but i do have 320 mags and i wanted to try doing some PCC stuff. So far fit and function is good and the system works well. Only real "complaint" is that it does take some adjusting to operate smoothly and if your system is already heavy this won't make it any lighter. If you can use a dedicated lower like the epc it would be better but if you have a spare standard lower then this is great.
Would recommend: Yes

The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the bolt will hold open with 1 bullet still in the mag.
If there are any suggestions, I’ll be more than happy to listen
I would definitely recommend this item !

The last round hold open never worked. Contacted Stern and they sent out a part for something completely different. Contacted them again and they sent another part that still didn't work and then never responded to me again.
Pros:
- M&p mags fit into an AR magwell
Cons:
- bad customer service
- No last round bolt hold open
Would recommend: No

I was building an ar-9 when the choice of how I was going to feed it came up.I chose a Stern Defense magwell adapter for M&P pistol mags(I own a 2.0 and have many xtra capacity mags already).Assembly took 5minutes(literally) and it cycled and ran perfectly.Ets plastic,m&p oem and pro mags ALL RUN PERFECTLY with no issues.This adapter cost a little more than the sylvan and endo mags but it perfectly suits my needs.Sterns customer service was top notch and I was actually very impressed at their attention to the small details and making sure I was totally satisfied with my purchase.

Seems like good construction but does even come close to accepting Glock Magazines. This was one of the reasons I bought the product. Don’t know how it functions since I haven’t found a mag that works with the item. False advertising! Do not buy!

The item says it takes Glock Mags. It does not. Had to return for the right one. Great quality and fit and finish. Wish the naming was a little more clear and the product description was correct. USA made product
