A while back I was suggesting that someone [cough @Djstorm100 cough] design a 3D printed Glock mag adapter for AR15 lowers (the mag will physically fit in the magwell - it's a common misconception that it will not, but this is, as I said, a misconception. You just need an adapter to position the mag correctly so that the 9mm bolt can strip off a round and successfully push it into the chamber).
Turns out a couple of companies are making these now:

Pretty cool. MSRP is a bit much, but I'm sure that street pricing will come down quite a bit once more companies get in on these. If these work well, I'm sure the demand will greatly exceed the demand for Colt mag adapters.
This could be a great solution for someone with a SBR lower who doesn't want to buy and SBR a dedicated 9mm lower. Aesthetics aren't great, but for the cost savings over a dedicated 9mm SBR lower, a lot of people won't care. Hell, it even has LRBHO, which is very hit-or-miss with dedicated Glock mag lowers.
Here's a MAC review of the Stern Defense adapter:
