What are the opinions on dedicated 9mm lowers that don't need a mag block. Anyone here with experience care to comment on these?

If you've used them, any thoughts between the 9mm colt mag version or the glock mag version?
Thanks in advance for the thoughts.

I love mine. Runs like a Swiss watch. Works great with Metalform and C Products mags.. I think the key to it being so reliable is the floating ejector.. YMMV though...

I've not used the double d but I have run the CMMG dedicated 9mm lower on full auto and it ran great.
Personally, I would prefer a dedicated lower that uses Glock mags.

I have one of the early builds (very low serial no.). It had a bit of a purplish hue and the mag release had to be bent in to get it to work. I tried a Norgon thinking my original mag release was out of spec. It wasn't...it just needed a bend.
Those were the only issues I had. Jon (the owner) is extraordinary in the customer service area. A very good guy that is willing to do what it takes to make his customers happy. (There was a lot of bad blood when CNC upgrades forced delayed shipments.)
Last time I spoke to him, he said he'd gone to a new anodizer and the current finishes look better, but may not be as durable as the purplish finish mine has. (FYI, I got the impression that whatever he's using is still pretty durable, just a not AS durable as mine)
Was it expensive? Hell yes. (my build went over $4k) But I know I got the best 9mm lower out there. And when I go to TOS and see and the bitching and moaning coming from people having issues with the Hahn block, Spikes block, or whatever...I kinda giggle. (Sigh, re-reading that...I'm such an a**hole.).
If you've got the coin, go for it. Everywhere I go people want to shoot "that little thumper ye got there." I love it.
One last issue though. And for the life of me I can't seem to get a solution to it:
Without the suppressor, it's a laser--32 rounds makes one ragged hole at 20 yards.
With suppressor, those groups open up to about 7 inches. It's the damndest thing...

I have a RRA and have yet to have a problem with it. The DDLES lower looks fantastic, it the company could produce them in quantity, they be even better. I just don't think they'll be around in a few years. The Lone Wolf lower, which uses Glock magazines, is a sure fire way to get around magazine related issues. The only issue is hat the bolt must be machined to clear the Glock magazines dimensions. There was talk that LW would sell a modified bolt as well, I just haven't seen if they are doing it. They do supply you with the dimensions that the bolt must be machined to, but you gotta get that done on your own. Good luck, the 9mm is a fun cartrage in the AR.
