Product Overview
The MAXIM PDX 7.62x39mm AR Pistol is engineered for discreet carry, close-quarters engagements, and vehicle operations where compact size and potent terminal performance are critical. This platform integrates a proprietary short-stroke piston system with a highly maneuverable form factor, delivering consistent reliability and controlled handling in a 7.62x39mm configuration.
Key Features
Proprietary Short-Stroke Piston System
The PDX utilizes a Maxim Defense proprietary short-stroke piston operating system. This design mitigates fouling in the receiver, contributing to enhanced reliability and reduced maintenance requirements. The system also optimizes the recoil impulse, providing a flatter shooting experience that aids in rapid target re-acquisition.
Compact 5.5-inch Barrel Configuration
Featuring a 5.5-inch barrel, the PDX is optimized for extreme maneuverability and compact storage. The barrel is constructed from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel, nitride finished for corrosion resistance and enhanced durability. This length is precisely tuned for effective ballistic performance of the 7.62x39mm cartridge within its intended operational envelope.
Optimized 7.62x39mm Integration
This platform is specifically designed to reliably feed and extract the 7.62x39mm cartridge. It incorporates a dedicated bolt carrier group and refined receiver geometry to ensure consistent cycling with various ammunition types. The system is compatible with standard 7.62x39mm AR magazines, providing a 20-round capacity.
Maxim Defense SCW Brace System (ARID Finish)
Equipped with the Maxim Defense SCW (Sub-Compact Weapon) brace system in an ARID finish, the PDX offers a robust and rapidly deployable personal defense solution. This adjustable brace provides a stable point of contact, enhancing control and precision, while its compact collapsed position maintains the weapon’s minimal footprint.
Precision-Machined Construction
The MAXIM PDX is constructed from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum receivers, precisely machined to KFF Defense’s stringent specifications. Components are hard-coat anodized for superior wear resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring a durable and reliable firearm for demanding operational use.
