    If you have a 9mm lower. It's made to work with a specific type of 9mm magazine. Contact who ever you got the lower from. To find out the type of magazine.

    The PSA web site lists these (4), 9mm AR 15 magazines. Being it's a PSA 9mm lower. Believe that would be the correct 9mm magazine, for your PSA lower. Don't seeing them selling a different magazine, for their PSA branded lower.

    Which lower did you get? It looks like they make some that take Glock magazines, some that take other mags. We need to know which lower you have so we can better advise what else you may or may not need.

    IF it is a 223/556 lower, you will need a mag adapter to use the COLT style magazines. There is NO adapter that works with the Glock style mags. If you purchased a 9mm lower, it will come set up like you need it for either COLT or GLOCK pattern mags. Glock lowers can be made, but no one has made an adapter that works (think RRA made one for a while, but they did not work properly IIRC). The Colt pattern mags are basically an UZI type mag, but made to have a last round bolt hold open. They are very reliable when made correctly. If you do have a normal lower, BE SURE TO GET A HEAVY BUFFER made for 9mm!!!!
