This review of the Recover Tactical P-IX kit for Glocks highlights significant issues with its 'AR platform' conversion. The kit includes a brace, grip, stock, buffer tube, and mag holder. A major concern is the included buffer tube, which is described as airsoft-grade and incompatible with standard mil-spec braces like the SBA4, requiring excessive force or preventing proper attachment. The reviewer also notes that attaching a stock without proper NFA paperwork constitutes an illegal SBR. Ergonomic flaws, including the placement of the grip and accessory rails, and a stiff, cheap safety selector are also criticized. The reviewer strongly advises against purchasing this kit due to its poor design, fitment issues, and lack of genuine AR platform functionality.
