Panzer Arms ARP9 9mm 6.5" 33rd Pistol

The Panzer Arms ARP9 is a 9mm built on an aluminum receiver and handguard, with a 6.5 inch barrel and a full length Picatinny top rail. It feeds from Glock pattern magazines, which is the practical choice: they are everywhere, and if there is already a Glock in the safe the magazines carry over. A 15 round and a 33 round magazine come with it, along with a sling and a muzzle brake.

Controls are fully ambidextrous, so they work from either side without adapters or aftermarket parts. The handguard uses M-LOK slots for lights, hand stops and sling mounts, and there is a second Picatinny rail at the rear of the receiver. Flip up sights are adjustable and fold down out of the way once an optic is mounted. The fire control group follows the AR pattern, so the grip and trigger accept common AR parts instead of proprietary ones. A tri lug adapter is included. Aluminum for both the receiver and the handguard keeps the weight down for the size of the gun, and 9mm keeps the recoil light and the ammunition cost sensible for high volume practice.
