Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I have a Diamondback DB9R that works great with and without a suppressor. I rarely shoot it now due to my Colt SBR 9mm getting out of jail but still take it out on occasion. Only issue is bolt lock back with Magpul mag. It works fine with factory Glock and the one it came with.
What are thoughts on Aero lowers?

Aero 9mm lowers or just Aero Lowers in general?Originally Posted by Ah Pook
You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
Aero 9mm dedicated. Saw one at Tanner last weekend. I would just stick with Spikes and have a dedicated bolt, upper and lower from the same manufacturer.

I cerakoted an Aero 9 setup for someone, and while I didn't shoot it, it did look nice and reports are that it functions fine. Don't know anything beyond that
I'm "someone" now!?
I built this for my cousin, the cerakote job was super nice. The Aero buffer and spring are good for a regular mil-spec tube. The buffer tube for this PDW brace was a little short so I had to file the plastic off of the buffer a little bit.
Bolt didn't hold open on the last round but bending the little wire inside the upper receiver solved that.
I personally run a Colt pattern and never had any issues.
Quarter Circle 10 Colt Pattern....here's mine with it's new Stern Defense 16" 9mm upper attached.
Reviving this thread to see if there are any new opinions in the last 4 years. Looking to actually make this a reality in the next few months.

I just read through the whole thread. I think the opinions expressed previously still stand. However, I want to expand my previous answer.
Option 1 is to get an upper and a mag-well converter to use an existing AR lower. This works fine.
Option 2 is to get a dedicated lower. I have built a few of these now and recommend getting a glock mag pattern lower for simplicity, chosen for the roll stamp you prefer, and going for a Sharps Bros dedicated lower if you want to go all-in on a different look. I have a handful of the Sharps Bros lowers just because they are different.
Side note, I built a side-charging upper for a .45ACP build a few years back and think that's a good way to go for a PCC. Like the Sharps Bros lowers, I built one just because it was different. All AR pattern rifles look the same, so something different was appealing to me.
Never complain; never explain.
My Feedback
I do like my FM9, but the QC-10 is hard to beat. Slapped this thing together and put the final touches on it.
