We brought you a sneak peek at Maxim Defense’s MD9 pistol from Houston back in May and the company has now announced it is shipping, along with some more details about the PCC which stands as Maxim’s first handgun-caliber firearm.

As the pistol caliber carbine gives you added stability to hit your mid-range targets more accurately and consistently, Maxim recognized this demand in the industry and answered with the MD9, a PDX-like platform chambered in 9mm. Every MD9 uses a free-floating barrel and custom handguard for increased comfort and versatility. These handguards provide a “monolithic-like” upper receiver platform and M-Slot compatibility.

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.
