Angstadt Arms MDP-9 Gen 2 Handgun 9mm Luger 17rd Magazines (2) 6″ 1/2×28 Threaded Barrel FDE

The Angstadt Arms MDP-9 Gen 2 Handgun in 9mm Luger with a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish is a compact, roller-delayed blowback pistol designed for personal defense and tactical use. Below are the key specifications and features based on available information:

• Caliber: 9x19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger)
• Action: Roller-delayed blowback, which reduces recoil and muzzle rise compared to traditional blowback systems, offering smoother operation and improved accuracy.
• Barrel: 5.85″ (often listed as 6″) chrome moly with a black melonite finish, threaded 1/2×28 TPI, compatible with suppressors or other muzzle devices. Includes a removable 3-lug muzzle device for added versatility.
• Magazine: Accepts GLOCK® 9mm double-stack magazines. Comes with two 17-round OEM GLOCK magazines (some listings mention 27-round Magpul PMAG GL9 magazines, so confirm with the retailer).
• Weight: Approximately 3.6–3.7 lbs, making it lightweight and portable.
• Length: 14″ overall, enhancing concealability and ease of carry in a backpack or on a sling.
• Upper Receiver: 7075-T6 aluminum monolithic upper with a continuous top Picatinny rail, M-LOK interface, and QD sling points.
• Lower Receiver: 7075-T6 billet aluminum with a flared magwell, extended magazine release, and threaded bolt catch screw.
• Charging Handle: Non-reciprocating, ambidextrous forward charging handle (can be swapped from left to right).
• Fire Controls: Angstadt Arms EMT-9 trigger and Radian Weapons Talon ambidextrous safety selector. Compatible with most aftermarket 9mm PCC triggers.
• Grip: B5 Systems Type 23 pistol grip with an Angstadt Arms handstop.
• Finish: Magpul Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Cerakote for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Additional Features:
  • Last round bolt hold open (LRBHO) for faster reloads.
  • 1913 endrail with QD sling socket, compatible with most 1913 side-folding or telescoping pistol braces and stock options.
  • Designed for ultra-concealability and low recoil, ideal for law enforcement and civilian self-defense.
• Compatibility: AR-15 platform compatible, with the ability to work with many AR9 or AR15 lower receivers, though optimal performance is with Angstadt’s AR9 lower. Also supports aftermarket 9mm PCC triggers (see Angstadt’s trigger compatibility guide for details).

Performance Notes:

• The roller-delayed action minimizes muzzle rise and recoil, making it one of the softest-shooting pistol caliber carbines (PCCs). Testing by outlets like TFB and Military Arms Channel showed it had the lowest muzzle rise among 9mm subguns tested, with smooth operation even when suppressed.
• The compact 14″ frame and light 3.7-pound weight make it highly portable, fitting into small backpacks for discreet carry.

Availability and Pricing:

• Available at retailers like GrabAGun, Impact Guns, Rainier Arms, and Zack’s Sports, though stock can be limited (some sites note it may sell out quickly).
• Pricing varies; check specific retailers for current deals. For example, GrabAGun and Impact Guns list financing options like “Pay in 4” or installments up to 36 months.
• Some listings mention free shipping or in-store pickup options (1–7 business days depending on the retailer).

Considerations:

• This is the pistol variant, not the short-barreled rifle (SBR) version, so no ATF tax stamp is required unless modified with a stock.
• California residents should note a warning about chemicals (e.g., arsenic) in the product, which may require compliance with state regulations.
• Always verify magazine capacity (17rd vs. 27rd) with the retailer, as listings differ slightly.
• For legal compliance, ensure your dealer confirms the firearm’s legality for your state and handles FFL transfers.
