The Maxim Defense PDX 505-SPS represents a refined evolution in compact AR pistol design, maintaining the inherent reliability of the platform while integrating the highly efficient SCW Pistol System. This configuration is engineered for operators requiring maximum maneuverability and a reduced footprint without compromising performance.
Key Features
Optimized SCW Pistol System
The PDX 505-SPS incorporates Maxim Defense’s SCW Pistol System, replacing traditional stock or brace configurations with a highly streamlined back end. This system eliminates protruding angles, mitigating snag hazards and enhancing operational fluidity in confined environments. Weighing only 5.3 ounces, this component reduces overall firearm weight by over 10 ounces compared to the standard SCW Stock, contributing to improved handling dynamics. A rear single point QD swivel mount is integrated, providing a secure attachment point for slings to assist in stabilizing accuracy-critical shots.
Enhanced Compactness
Designed for discreet carry and rapid deployment, the 5.50-inch barrel chambered in 300 Blackout contributes to a minimal overall length. This compact architecture optimizes the system for specific operational parameters where reduced size is a primary requirement without impeding terminal performance.
300 Blackout Caliber Performance
The 300 Blackout chambering provides effective terminal performance in a short-barreled platform, excelling in applications requiring subsonic operation with a suppressor or efficient energy delivery at close to moderate ranges. Its versatility with varying projectile weights is a key advantage.
Robust Construction and Ergonomics
The firearm features an Urban Grey metal finish, offering both corrosion resistance and a non-reflective aesthetic. An Urban Grey polymer grip ensures positive weapon retention and operator comfort, critical for maintaining control during sustained engagements or rapid transitions.
System Reliability
Built upon Maxim Defense’s established “reliability enhancing technology,” the PDX 505-SPS maintains consistent function across diverse operational conditions, affirming its utility as a dependable short-barreled platform.
