Most Helpful Positive Review Stern Defense has the best customer servise!
Purchase this adapter for my AR 9 build. Had issues with jamming if I put more than 3 rounds( didn't matter if flat or round nose) in the mag. Re-installed the adapter three times and had the same result every time. Called Stern Defense left message and though well that was a waste of time, but t...

Most Helpful Negative Review Feed issues
While it is well built, I could not get HP or flat tip rounds to feed without lots of jams. And the jam is actually within the adapter itself. The small feed ramp it has built in it has a very sharp edge on the bottom. I tried three different brands of glock mags. All would every so often do the sa...

doesn't work with cmmg banshee uppers

by Josh A, Verified Owner from AL, United States Written on August 2, 2025
Doesn't work with cmmg banshee uppers, but no where is it mentioned that it will only work with certain 9mm bolts. Waste of time and money. Returning asap.

No more failure to feed issues!

by cz1970, Verified Owner from KY, United States Written on July 22, 2025
Tried to use Endomags on my 9mm pcc build. I could never get them to be even close to reliable. Just bought another pcc that takes Glock mags, so I decided to convert my stock 556 lower to Glock mags with this Stern Defense adapter. I wish I would have went this direction in the first place. It is very easy and quick to install and I have had no ftf issues.

ar-15 to 9mm

by Blademanmax, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on May 14, 2025
Does exactly what it’s supposed to do have about 500 rounds through it so far and had zero issues, bolt locks open on last round every time. Great way to practice with rifle/pistol with cheaper ammo

Works great so far!

by Jack, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on April 24, 2025
I used this to make an Ar9 build using an Aero lower. I put about 200 rounds through it so far with no feeding issue or jamming. The last round hold open has also worked everytime.
Pros:
  • reliable
  • Last round hold open
Cons:
  • Cost about the price of an Ar9 lower

Didn't work with a spikes 9mm upper and stag ar lower

by pwsdude, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on April 4, 2025
Followed the instructions to the letter. Did some research online in regards to possible user related issues. Adjusted several times, tried different ammo, tried different glock mags, and no amount of tinkering would make it work. Reached out to Stern Defense customer support and they never responded. Save yourself time and money and go with a dedicated 9mm lower.

Works as expected, would recommend

by CD, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on March 22, 2025
I wanted to build a 9mm AR and had a few mil spec lowers laying around, so I decided to get this instead of a dedicated AR-9 lower. It was easy to install as long as you follow the easy instructions. I had no issues with it at the range the other day. I used both Glock mags and Magpul mags for a Glock 19, and had no issues of any kind. They was little to no mag wiggle when seated and they ejected cleanly when empty. It fed great using Remington range ammo and the LRHO worked every time. The only issue at all, if I had to find one, and this is just a muscle memory issue for me, is the ejection lever will take some time to get used to. I knew this when I bought it, and like any new gun it will just take rounds down range to get used to.

Excellent fit and finish

by John Greco, Verified Owner from RI, United States Written on February 28, 2025
This adapter fits perfectly in my 5.56mm lower. Glock magazines fit with ease and the mag release is in the perfect spot.
