    Aero makes like 30% of the lowers on the market, for various companies.

    Lowers are lowers, unless you want something like an SR-15 ambi lower. The PSA complete lowers for $150 are a smoking deal (the MOE version even moreso). My dealer here in VA sells Aero lowers for $65. Can be found cheaper if u look.

    Buy em cheap and stack em deep. Hell the anderson lowers are 10 for $500.

    I can't remember where I heard this but I think it's a good quote: Never sell a reliable semi-auto.

    I'm a longtime "lurker" and this is obviously my first post, but here's what I did two years ago. I sold a Nighthawk 1911, bought an LMT lower from Ranier, stuck a Spikes upper on it, and bought a Glock 22. (The $ worked out pretty close) I have since replaced that upper with one from BCM. My situation is obviously different from yours but my point is this, if you buy a quality lower as your base, you can always switch uppers based on your needs/preferences. If I were you, I'd at least buy a lower now. There's no right way, but that's how I'd do it.

    Lowers are lowers. Unless you want certain features like billet, Ambi controls or weird cuts they are all just about the same.

    Yes some are a bit better than other, but for the most part, everything on the market right now works.

    Buy whatever is the cheapest and you find for accetable rollmarks and carry on. Most are made by a handfull of companies and other than the name on the side, they are the exact same product.

    Lowers are lowers until you get a crummy one. For the most that they all work. The important part is the parts you install in them.

    I have had high end lowers with out of spec Holes and I have had cheap $50 specials that fit a quality LPK like a glove.

    The probability of getting a bad lower is pretty small. Due to the sheer number of lowers sold, yeah there will be some bad ones that slip through QC. Its not like BCM or DD or Noveske are doing QC for each lower from whoever they source it from. Without fully building the lower out and doing a function test, you wouldn't know anyway.

    As I said earlier, the vast majority of lowers are made by a handfull of the same shops. Hell, if they wern't classified as a firearm, they would cost about $10-20 each. Same principle as cans.

    Two Glock 17's are perfect. Keep them as is.


    You never know what crazy legislation is coming.

    Agree 100%

    Keep the Glocks and buy a BCM lower now - these will be very hard to get if there is another panic.

    Save up for the BCM upper - they were around enough even during the last craze.
