Maxim PDX Semi Automatic AR Pistol 5.56 NATO 5.5″ Barrel 20 Round Maxim Defense SCW Stock Arid Brown
Born from the SOCOM PDW solicitation, the Maxim Defense PDX is designed to handle the fierce demands of the Tier 1 community. It dominates close quarter encounters and achieves maximum energy on target. At just 18.75″ in overall length, the PDX delivers groundbreaking power and performance in a sub compact platform. At the heart is a patent-pending, Maxim SCW stock system. This system cuts down the length of the stock to 4″. The integrated BCG with interchangeable buffer weights gives you maximum performance and versatility without sacrificing form and functionality. The PDX is also equipped with a Maxim Hate Brake muzzle booster which significantly reduces recoil, decreases the flash signature, pushes gasses and concussion wave downrange.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner’s engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles. — Craig Boddington
