The MAXIM PDX SCW 5.56 AR Pistol is engineered for high-performance close-quarters applications and discrete deployment. This platform integrates 5.56x45mm NATO ballistics into an exceptionally compact form factor, providing significant terminal performance within a minimized footprint.
Key Features
Compact Form Factor
The PDX SCW design prioritizes reduced overall length without compromising operational reliability. Featuring a 5.5-inch barrel, this AR pistol configuration optimizes maneuverability in confined spaces, making it a viable option for vehicle operations or specialized assignments where permissible. The PDX SCW’s signature Sub-Compact Weapon (SCW) system contributes to its minimal length while offering enhanced stability and adaptability.
Caliber Integration
Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, the PDX SCW delivers standard service cartridge performance. While barrel length impacts projectile velocity, the 5.5-inch barrel is specifically calibrated to ensure reliable cycling and effective projectile delivery. The gas system is engineered to manage the increased pressure curves inherent to short-barreled 5.56 platforms, maintaining consistent function.
Construction & Materials
Constructed from robust materials, the PDX SCW is built to withstand rigorous use. Components are precision-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring durability and consistent performance under stress. The ARID BRC finish provides a durable, low-visibility coating, resisting abrasion and environmental degradation. The system incorporates standard AR-15 fire control components, enhancing parts commonality and user familiarity.
Reliability & Ergonomics
The MAXIM PDX SCW features a direct impingement gas system tuned for the 5.5-inch barrel length, promoting consistent cycling. The ergonomic design facilitates rapid deployment and target acquisition, with controls positioned for intuitive manipulation. The included 20-round magazine capacity balances a compact profile with adequate ammunition reserves for critical engagement scenarios.
