The Shark Coast Tactical Sneeky Pete 9mm pistol is a compact AR-pattern pistol built around a 5.5-inch threaded barrel and an SB Tactical SBA3 adjustable brace (brand part no. SCC06735SPFDE9). Because it wears a brace rather than a shoulder stock, it is a pistol under federal law and transfers like any other handgun, with no tax stamp involved. The threaded muzzle is the obvious tell for what this platform is really built around, and a suppressed 9mm carbine-length host is about as pleasant as shooting gets. Flat dark earth Cerakote on the receiver set contrasts with the black Melonite barrel, and the whole thing feeds from Glock-pattern magazines, which means cheap, available, and reliable. Shark Coast Tactical builds the Sneeky Pete line on billet receivers with a free-float rail, and the result handles far better than the barrel length suggests.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 9mm Luger, keeping recoil light, ammunition cheap, and suppressed operation genuinely quiet.
• The 5.5-inch barrel keeps the pistol short and balanced while still burning enough powder for reliable 9mm velocity.
• The barrel is finished in black Melonite, a hard surface treatment that resists wear and corrosion inside and out.
• The muzzle is threaded, so a suppressor or compensator mounts directly without gunsmithing.
• Capacity is 30 plus 1, giving a full magazine of defensive or range ammunition on board.
• The pistol feeds from Glock-pattern magazines, the most widely available pistol-caliber magazine on the market.
• The receiver set wears a flat dark earth Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance and a distinctive two-tone look.
• An SB Tactical SBA3 adjustable brace provides multiple length positions and keeps the firearm classified as a pistol.
• The Sneeky Pete platform uses a free-float M-LOK handguard so accessories mount without touching barrel harmonics.
• Receivers are billet machined with a Picatinny top rail, giving a continuous mounting surface for optics and sights.

What magazines does it take? Glock-pattern 9mm magazines, which keeps feeding devices inexpensive and easy to find.
