Over the past few years, you’ve probably seen a massive resurgence of the pistol caliber carbine, most notably the 9mm carbine. Stability is the most significant advantage of the pistol caliber carbine over any sidearm.
You’ve probably also seen some crack shots at the local shooting range who can shoot the wings off a fly at 25 yards with their sidearm. However, for the majority of shooters, handgun accuracy tends to begin dropping off around 15 yards, especially in kinetic situations where the adrenaline is surging and stress levels are through the roof.
The pistol caliber carbine gives you added stability to hit your mid-range targets more accurately and consistently. Maxim Defense recognized this demand in the industry and answered with the MD9 9mm pistol caliber carbine. The Maxim Defense MD9 offers a PDX-like platform chambered in 9mm.
Maxim Defense MD9 Pistol Caliber Carbine
When you’re looking for Maxim Defense ingenuity in a new standard AR-9, the MD-9 is your answer. The MD-9 was engineered to fit the growing demand for cutting-edge AR9-style rifles for today’s Military and commercial market.
Every MD9 features Maxim’s free-floating barrel and custom handguard for increased comfort and versatility. These handguards provide a monolithic-like upper receiver platform and M-Slot compatibility.
Features
• Modified Maxim Defense HATEBRAKE
• M-Rax and M-Slot compatible handguard
• Military-grade materials
• 5.8″ barrel
• ALG Combat Trigger
• Radian charging handle and selector
• Maxim CQB stock
• Ambidextrous magazine release
• Fully floated barrel
• The last round holds open
• Compatible with Glock 9mm magazines (Glock 19 and larger)
The package weighs in at just over six pounds unloaded, and 20 inches collapsed, adding to the small footprint. The MD9 also boasts an ambidextrous magazine release, Radian charging handle, and selector. It accepts all Glock 9mm pattern magazines, G19 or longer. Rounding out the set-up is a modified Maxim Defense HATEBRAKE muzzle booster and ALG Combat trigger.
An issue seen in previous pistol caliber carbine designs is that the shooter would use the magwell for their support grip, which would cause the magazine to move just enough to cause failure to feed malfunctions. Maxim Defense recognized this issue and mitigated it by extending the length of the magwell, giving the shooter a full support hand grip without interfering with the function of the magazine.
The Modified HATEBRAKE emulates the back pressure of a suppressor. So not only is it directing the blast forward and away from the shooter and those around the shooter, but it regulates the cyclic rate. The advantage of this is whether you’re running the included HATEBRAKE or a 9mm suppressor, the cyclic rate will be consistent and not over-gassed.
Maxim Defense went with a barrel length of 5.8″ to maximize the velocity and hence accuracy of this PCC. The optimal barrel length for the 9mm cartridge is roughly 6″, so with the MD9, you’re getting optimal performance out of the 5.8″ barrel. In addition, the MD9 was tested with 124gr FMJ, which resulted in a muzzle velocity of 1,150 feet per second.
When it comes down to defending your home and keeping your family safe, stack the odds in your favor with the Maxim Defense MD9 pistol caliber carbine.

The Emissary Paddle shifter is a drop in replacement for the activation paddles on a Streamlight TLR7A, TLR7 Sub, TLR8A, TLR9 or TLR10 Weapon light.
It is designed to bring the activation paddle index point closer to the users thumb when using a natural thumbs forward grip position therefore making it easier to reach and more intuitive to activate. This gives the user more control over the pistol due to a more consistent and secure grip compared to a grip when using the stock activation paddles. The main activation surface is designed to be located in an optimum position right underneath the frame towards the front of the trigger guard.
The TLR7A Paddle Shifter is designed to be holster compatible.
Standard and extended models are available in both two or four pack options.

Columbus, GA – Taking heed to end user and market demand, Digital Concealment Systems, LLC., parent company to the A-TACS camo brand, is bringing back original
A-TACS FG, it’s flagship Foliage Green camo pattern variant.
First introduced in 2010, A-TACS FG established itself as a truly unique alternative to the heavily digitized foliage patterns that were then common in the tactical market.
When designing a green variant follow-up to the already popular original A-TACS AU Camo pattern, the easy answer would have been to simply re-color the existing pattern and release it as a green variant. Taking that approach may have been easier and faster however, it was not the approach DCS took to create an effective temperate climate pattern. The characteristic environmental elements and shapes found in greener, more temperate settings needed to be addressed. The answer was to create a brand-new pattern from the ground up.
Utilizing numerous shades of green sampled directly from a variety of forested and transitional terrain elements combined with various shades of earth, A-TACS FG Camo was developed to be effective in a wide range of temperate environments. As with the original A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) Camo pattern, the organic pixels in the micro patterns are grouped into larger, more defined “macro” shapes creating larger more defined patterns. The larger organic shapes and strategically placed shadow elements within the macro pattern help to create a unique three-dimensional effect. Additionally, strategic use of blending and color overlays were used to create a more organic soft-edged look to the pattern.
With the introduction of the A-TACS “X Line” of camo patterns in 2015, the decision was made to begin phasing out the original two patterns in favor of new updated designs. “Almost immediately after that time, end-users and manufacturers alike have been asking for the return of our classic pattern lineup” stated Phil Duke, Pattern Designer and President. ‘Based upon this continued demand, we have decided to bring back the original line-up of Original A-TACS AU and Original A-TACS FG. Both of these patterns are joining our newly introduced A-TACS U|CON (Universal CONcealment) pattern”, Duke continued. “We are excited for manufacturers to bring forward a whole new generation of gear in these classic patterns”.
