Questions & Answers
This might seem like dumb question but here goes. I want to convert my AR to shoot Glock 40. Besides this kit, I would have to buy a barrel, correct? Expert Answer

You would need a barrel, a BCG, and most likely a heavier buffer.

by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, September 23, 2019
Will S&W magazines work with this?

This MAG-AD is for glock magazines. You will need the MAG-ADMP9&40/P20 one for 9mm S&W magazines.

It Just Works! by Erwin, Verified Owner, February 21, 2025
I bought this for my first AR-9 build since I had a couple spare lowers and didn’t want to spend money on a dedicated 9mm lower. I did also order Stern’s Glock compatible bolt just to be on the safe side. I have had it in and out of a receiver two ...

Works very well (if you install it correctly) by pazmaker, Verified Owner, January 17, 2021
I installed the Stern Defense MAG-AD9 in an 80% lower that I finished and it works very well. I suspect a lot of the negative feedback is due to improper installation. Sure, follow the instructions, but you have to understand how the adapter, especia...
