The Recover Tactical P-IX+Basic PG9 Metal Front Guard Tan (Model PIXPBST02, UPC 7290117420799) is a modular AR-style chassis and stock system that transforms your compatible Glock pistol into a stable, optics-ready, carbine-style platform—finished in a sleek tan (FDE-style) color. Built around a glass-reinforced polymer chassis with a metal front guard, this P-IX+Basic kit is ideal for shooters who want better control, more rail space, and AR-like ergonomics for tactical shooting, home defense, and serious range training.
AR-Style Platform for Glock Pistols
Part of Recover’s P-IX AR platform for Glock pistols, the P-IX+Basic PG9 Metal Front Guard Stock gives your Glock a rifle-like feel while still using your original frame and magazines:
AR ergonomics – extended chassis with stock and PG9 grip for a familiar shouldered stance.
Uses the same base platform as other P-IX+ models; only the bundled components and color differ.
Designed for many popular double-stack Glock pistols (G17, G19, 19X, 22, 23, 25, 31, 32, 45, etc.; always confirm your model with the current fit chart).
For shooters who already run AR-15s, this setup makes your Glock-based rig feel more like your carbine, helping standardize your training and manual of arms.
Glass-Reinforced Polymer Chassis with Metal Front Guard
The PIXPBST02 kit combines lightweight polymer with a rugged metal front end:
Glass-reinforced polymer chassis for durability and reduced weight.
Alloy metal front guard included (MFG), providing added rigidity and protection up front.
This hybrid design gives you a system that:
Feels solid under recoil and high-volume fire.
Provides a stable base for mounting lights, lasers, or hand stops on the front guard.
Picatinny Rail System – Optics & Accessories Ready
The P-IX+Basic PG9 Metal Front Guard Stock (Tan) is built to carry modern accessories:
Top Picatinny rail along the chassis for red dots, prisms, or compact LPVOs.
Metal front guard with rail interface for weapon lights, lasers, and other accessories as part of the P-IX/P-IX+ ecosystem.
This lets you easily configure a home-defense ready pistol-carbine, a nighttime training gun with white light and optic, or a PCC-style range toy with all your favorite gadgets.
PG9 Ergonomic Grip – AR Feel, Glock Compatibility
The PG9 grip is at the core of this kit:
AR-style grip angle and contour for a natural, vertical hand position and improved comfort.
Integrated magazine holder in many PG9 configurations; dealer listings for PIXPBST02 specify PG9 grip type, and some note an integral mag holder for similar SKUs.
That combination gives you enhanced recoil control, better weapon handling, and a grip that feels right at home for AR shooters.
Integrated Stock – Carbine-Style Stability
The P-IX+Basic configuration includes a stocked chassis, giving your Glock an extra point of contact for stability:
“Stock” layout designed to shoulder like a compact carbine, improving accuracy and control.
Adds approximately 14.8" overall length, turning a standard pistol into a much steadier platform.
With the stock, you get:
Tighter groups and faster follow-up shots, especially at extended pistol distances.
A more forgiving sight picture when using optics.
(Always verify that your configuration complies with current federal, state, and local laws regarding stocks and pistol builds.)
Quick, No-Gunsmithing Installation
One of the biggest advantages of the P-IX+Basic PG9 system is how easy it is to install:
Designed for tool-free or simple-tool installation—retailers highlight “easy installation with no permanent modifications required.”
Drops on in just a few minutes—no cutting, drilling, or frame alterations.
Because it’s a non-permanent conversion, you can always remove the chassis and return your Glock to its original configuration if your needs change.
Tan Finish – FDE Look with Tactical Function
This model is finished in a tan / FDE-style color, which offers both style and practical benefits:
Sleek tan finish that looks great with desert, multicam, and FDE accessories.
Helps break up the silhouette of the gun in outdoor environments compared to pure black.
If you’re building a two-tone Glock PCC-style rig or matching existing FDE AR gear, PIXPBST02 is the colorway you want.
Ideal Applications – Tactical, Home Defense & Range Training
According to multiple retailers, the P-IX+Basic PG9 Metal Front Guard Stock is purpose-built for:
Tactical shooting & drills – AR-style ergonomics and a stock help you drive the gun harder and faster.
Home defense setups – Add a red dot and a light to create a compact, highly controllable defensive platform.
Range training & PCC practice – Enjoy carbine-like handling while shooting economical pistol ammo.
The added stability and rail space make it a strong option for shooters who want more performance from their Glock without moving to a full-size rifle.
