Maxim Defense PDX Now in Urban Grey
Maxim Defense have announced a new Urban Grey version of their PDX AR-pistol. The PDX was first introduced back in 2019 and has since been made available in a range of calibres including .300BLK, 5.56 NATO, and 7.62×39mm. Maxim Defense currently list the Urban Grey PDX at $2,065 MSRP.
THE PDX @ TFB:
Here’s what Maxim Defense have to say about the PDX:
Born from the SOCOM PDW solicitation, the NEW Maxim Defense PDX™ is designed to handle the fierce demands of the Tier 1 community. The PDX™ 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 of the PDX™ is our newly developed Maxim SCW™ stock system. This patent-pending 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 newly invented Maxim HATEBRAKE™ muzzle booster. This patent-pending device significantly reduces recoil, decreases the flash signature, pushes gasses and concussion wave downrange away from the operator and improves overall performance in short barrel pistols and rifles.

Worthless ballistics in an obnoxious platform, what a dumbass idea...
It they wanted to make an AR with a pistol length barrel, why not use a pistol round, basically make it a true SMG. IMHO, 10mm or 9x25 Dillon would be better choices. Even 350 Legend would likely be a better fit for a barrel that short.
