9mm BCG – AR-9 & PCC Bolt Carrier Groups | Glock & Colt Compatible
9mm BCG – Bolt Carrier Groups for AR9 & PCC Builds
High-Performance Bolt Carrier Groups for Your 9mm AR-15 or PCC
Looking to build or upgrade your 9mm AR-15 or pistol-caliber carbine (PCC)? The bolt carrier group (BCG) is one of the most critical components for reliable cycling, smooth operation, and long-term durability.
At Mounts Plus, we carry a handpicked selection of 9mm BCGs compatible with Glock and Colt magazine lowers, designed to perform under pressure and keep your PCC or AR9 running smoothly.
🔧 What Is a 9mm BCG and How Is It Different?
Unlike 5.56/.223 AR-15 rifles, 9mm AR builds use a blowback system rather than gas operation. This means the 9mm BCG must be heavier, optimized for recoil management, and compatible with direct blowback mechanics.
Key differences:
-
No gas key or gas rings
-
Heavier to manage 9mm blowback forces
-
Built to interface with Glock or Colt mag-fed lowers
-
Often designed for last-round bolt hold-open (LRBHO) systems

⚙️ Glock vs Colt Lower Compatibility
BCG Feature | Glock-Compatible | Colt-Compatible |
---|---|---|
Mag Catch Cutout | Yes | Optional |
Ejector Interface | Glock-specific | Standard AR |
LRBHO Support | Usually yes | Often optional |
Popularity | Most PCC builds | Less common |
Most of our 9mm BCGs support both platforms, but always check compatibility before you buy.
🔍 Nickel Boron vs Black Nitride Coating
Feature | Nickel Boron (EXO) | Black Nitride |
---|---|---|
Lubrication | Self-lubricating | Needs oil |
Cleanability | Wipes clean | Moderate |
Wear Resistance | Excellent | Very good |
Corrosion | Superior | Very good |

Both finishes are rugged — choose EXO NiB for high-use builds or Black Nitride for great value and durability.

❓ FAQs – 9mm AR BCGs
Q: Will these BCGs work with both Glock and Colt lowers?
Many will. Always check the product description for Glock mag catch compatibility and ejector clearance.
Q: Can I use a standard AR-15 BCG for 9mm?
No. 9mm uses a blowback system and requires a purpose-built BCG without a gas key.
Q: Should I choose Nickel Boron or Black Nitride?
Nickel Boron offers easier cleaning and is ideal for high-volume or suppressed shooting. Black Nitride is budget-friendly and extremely durable.
Q: Are these compatible with LRBHO?
Many of our 9mm BCGs support last-round bolt hold-open (LRBHO) when paired with compatible lowers.
