Fits like a glove
Not the most expensive...But fits like a glove. Fits the lower perfectly. I have a dedicated 9mm lower and other regular lowers. This is way cheaper and I don't have to buy another lower for a pistol caliber AR. Mags lock up tight and drop free. I will buy more.

Excellent
Works like a charm, good price, good quality. I did have bend the ejector down a bit, but I'd expect to have to do a little tuning on any of the adapters.

It works as advertised.
I originally purchased a competitor's two piece magazine insert. I could not even reliably cycle the bolt by hand without double and triple feeds. I wanted an insert that was easily removable to convert back to a rifle caliber AR. Even Colt uses an insert on their dedicated AR 9mm platform that is affixed by two roll pins. I liked the fact that the KAK insert uses a bolt hold open that works with a standard AR15 bolt catch. It does hold the bolt open on factory Colt magazines that I had for my Colt 9mm carbine. Loosen two set screws and remove the top screw and it will slide out. I had purchased a Spikes Tactical 9mmX buffer. On my first trip to the range, I did still have some issues. Believing it was due to the length of the buffer, I replaced it with a standard length 9mm buffer. I also polished off the feed ramps a little bit with a Dremel tool. Today's trip to the range I ran hollow points and ball ammo with not one malfunction and 100% lock open with the Colt Mags. I couldn't be more pleased. The first day of shooting when I had lock back and a few feeding issues, I sent an email question to company. It was a Friday evening. I wasn't expecting an answer until the next work week. I received an email back from the owner within a half an hour. Very impressed with the customer service.

Get it
Why would anyone attempt to re drill to match holes or drill and install a 2 piece mag well adapter when this product is available??? It’s absolutely perfect for fit, finish and quality. Although I haven’t put it to use yet as in slowly gathering up bits and pieces, I have no doubt this will function flawlessly. Well done kakindistry for offering this ingenious product.

Excellent product
Even without instructions this was a no brainer installation, the magazines slip in and lock without difficulty and feeding has been positive with the limited shooting I have done so far. The unit is used in a pistol build which has turned into a fun project. I use Colt mags to match my Colt AR 9mm.

buy this adapter
Thank you to other reviewers and KAK. I also made the mistake of buying a cheaply made plastic insert. I had constant feeding issues. I didn't know why until I got this one. The other ramp was not angled enough to feed the round into the chamber. I got this one a few days before a steel challenge shoot, as an AR-9 pistol with Anderson lower, CMMG upper. I am using ASC and unknown brand Uzi style mags. I ran well over 150 rounds in one day and ZERO malfunctions. If you have any doubts, buy this one. It works.

Perfect
I say perfect but I don't have anything to compare it to. I was excited about installing and trying this thing out. I have heard some horror stories about adapters and was told to only by a different brand at almost twice KAK's cost. Based on reviews here and other sites I decided I'd throw down the $100 and give it a try. It came with installation hardware, tools and instructions. Installed the adapter in a PSA SBR AR-15 lower. The installation was very easy and only look a couple of minutes. I tested out the mag release function with a couple of 32 round ACS metal Colt/Uzi magazines. They dropped free as expected. I added a 8" 9mm upper that I purchased from PSA and went to the range. The mag well adapter worked perfectly. I did have a couple of very small issues but none were related to the magwell adapter. I put about 400 rounds through the gun and the adapter held strong. I will be shooting this in a USPSA PCC match soon. I highly recommend this adapter to anyone looking to convert a AR-15 lower to a 9mm. Buy this one and use your extra money for another magazine or a heavy buffer.

No complaints, it’s great
I wanted to build a cheap AR9 as a project. I originally got the ProMag magwell, which is why I bought the KAK version. The PM did not hold the mags (ASC and Pro Mag) and had FTF and FTE. My setup is about as budget as it gets, PSA upper and BCG, Anderson lower. Do yourself a favor, buy this adapter, you won’t be sorry. I used CCI, American Eagle , AE Target brass, no issues. Also no issues with Blazer aluminum. I put about 300 round total, not one issue. Easy to install, comes with everything you need. If I do another AR9 build, I will absolutely buy another! To me, being $100 is a bit much form what it is and does, but it works perfect, and at half the cost of the others.
