SD9VE, glockenspiel clips, & AR9

[MarkStar81]

So. Now that your head is exploding because you saw "glock" lol... I feel I need to say I love my SD9VE and it was the first new sidearm I've ever owned

I am trying to decide on what to get (style/brand/mag type) in an AR9. I respect your opinion if you're not a fan, I have a 5.56 and it's just cheaper in 9mm.

Also, for the same reason they had winmag rifle/revolver sets in the same cal, I want the mags to fit either the side arm or the rifle. I am unfamiliar with the excessive variety in the civilian market, and it is just a lot to sort for my super busy life. I need to know if the SD9VE mags are close enough to the glock mags to fit in a "glock style mags" lower for an AR9?

So, I am here to consult with the experts...

P.S. I have no idea why the title ended up "glockenspiel"

I want an SD9VE with 7 factory mags. I also own. 3 GLOCK 17 factory mags I picked up because I love GLOCKs and plan on having a few someday. As far as I can tell, the magazines are not compatible.

No where near close. And as far as I know no one makes a carbine with an SD mag

Most popular 9 carbines that use a pistol mag are going to be Glock and Beretta. Some older carbines use A&W 59xx mags

Is there an SD mag adapter for a 9mm carbine? I have seen other 9mm blocks for 5.56 versions.

Would be more cost effective to buy a bunch of GLOCK magazines.

Hmm... I'm torn. I really like the concept of dropping one of my pistol mags into the rifle if needed. I want the cross functionality. If I have to go to glock for that, I'd be a bit disappointed. I like my SD9VE. It's a durable lil *******, and pretty awesome.

SD are not that popular. Not enough to make proprietary rifles for or spend the money to make an adapter.

Well, thanks for the feedback. That's disappointing.

If you have a 556 you already have a cheaper option. You already own it. However, you're willing to spend $500 - $1000 (that's anywhere between 1.5 and 3.5 cases of 556) on a rifle to sometimes save $0.15 cents.

Fair point, but the other reason was the versatility. Anyhow. Thank you for your input.
