Military Armament Corporation (MAC) introduces the MAC IX pistol, a large format semi-automatic handgun chambered in 9mm Luger that combines features of the AR-15 with those of the MP5. Its chrome-lined 6.5″ barrel is made of 4140 steel and Melonite coated, and has a tri-lug adapter machined into its muzzle, as well as 1/2×28 TPI threads, for attaching suppressors and other muzzle accessories. The MAC IX is a rugged, modular 9mm PCC built for reliability and performance. It features a proven direct blowback system for minimal recoil and fast follow-up shots, and accepts MP5-style magazines for dependable, familiar feeding.
The MAC IX’s upper and lower receivers are made of 7075 T6 aluminum alloy and given a hard anodized finish and it also has a steel spring-loaded dustcover. Its monolithic 7075-T6 upper and M-LOK® hand-guard ride a full-length Picatinny rail, giving nearly 16 in of uninterrupted real estate for optics, BUIS or night-vision bridges. In addition to the optics mounting rail, the pistol is supplied with iron sights that are adjustable and detachable.
Controls are ambidextrous, with a bilateral safety lever, AR-15-style rear charging handle, and an MP5-style magazine release system that includes both a magazine release button and a paddle-type magazine release. The package includes a hard case, 2 magazines, cleaning kit, sling, flash hider, and owner’s manual. The MAC IX has an overall length of 15.97″ and weighs 5.10 lbs.
