PDW Length 9mm Barrel for AR-15
For a personal defense weapon, a compact barrel that works in close quarters is a must. This 5.5 inch barrel from Ballistic Advantage features a straight, heavy profile, perfect for hosting a suppressor on the 1/2×28 threads. The barrel can be used with Colt or Glock style AR-9 builds, and will work with any standard upper receiver and handguard.
- Designed to work with both Colt/RR and Glock style AR builds.
- Straight profile barrel reduces weight and maintains high accuracy.
- Compatible with standard mil-spec uppers. There are also numerous dedicated 9mm upper options that work.
- Requires the use of a unique magwell conversion (Colt/Rock River style) with UZI mags or a dedicated 9mm lower with Glock mags.
- 9mm on an AR15 platform operates by blowback and does not need a gas block or gas tube.
- Integrated feed ramp and barrel extension.
Since the “barrel extension” is an integral part of the barrel, the length stated is the true overall length. For example, an 11” 9mm barrel has the same outer dimensions/length as a 10.5” 5.56 barrel.
Before installing a muzzle device, ensure a 9mm round will drop freely through the muzzle device bore.
