Maxim Defense Pdx Pstl 5.56 5.5" 20-Round Pistol

The Maxim Defense PDX Pistol 5.56 5.5" with a 20-round magazine capacity is a purpose-built pistol designed for operators who demand compact 5.56 NATO firepower in a highly maneuverable platform. This tactical rifle-caliber pistol bridges the gap between traditional handguns and short-barreled rifles, delivering intermediate rifle power in a footprint suitable for vehicle operations, close-quarters engagement, and specialized tactical applications.

Built by Maxim Defense Industries—a manufacturer with deep roots in military and law enforcement innovation—the PDX Pistol serves agencies and end-users requiring precision 5.56 performance without a tax-stamped short-barreled rifle classification. The 5.5-inch barrel delivers optimized velocity and terminal ballistics for 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining a compact overall length of 12 inches, critical for confined spaces and rapid target transitions.

At 8.69 pounds, the weapon maintains a balanced platform that reduces operator fatigue during extended operations while preserving the structural integrity necessary for reliable cycling and consistent accuracy downrange. The configuration supports mission-critical modularity, allowing integration with modern optics, lights, and accessories through standardized Picatinny rail systems.
