Compact 9mm Pistol Performance

The 11-inch barrel length chambered in 9mm (9x19) delivers excellent ballistic performance while maintaining a compact overall footprint. This configuration provides effective range capabilities in a maneuverable package ideal for close-quarters applications and pistol-caliber competition.

Nitride-Finished Straight Profile Barrel

The straight profile barrel with nitride finish provides consistent accuracy while the nitride coating delivers a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that resists fouling and wear. The 1:10 twist rate ensures proper stabilization for common 9mm projectile weights from 115 to 147 grains.

Heavy-Duty Pistol Buffer System

The heavy-duty pistol buffer tube paired with a 5.5 oz buffer weight is specifically tuned for reliable 9mm blowback operation. This combination ensures proper cycling across various ammunition types while minimizing felt recoil for faster follow-up shots.

Gauntlet Arms Polymer Stabilizing Brace

The Gauntlet Arms Polymer Stabilizing Brace provides enhanced control and stability during shooting while maintaining a lightweight profile. This brace allows for improved shooting dynamics without adding excessive weight to the compact pistol platform.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Verify compatibility of all components before assembly. Designed for pistol-caliber builds—confirm 9mm compatibility with your lower receiver and magazine system.
