The Battle Arms Development Xiphos pistol in 9mm Luger with a Combat Gray finish (brand part no. XIPHOS004) is purpose-built as a next-generation, blowback AR-style pistol-caliber firearm. Battle Arms Development machines the receiver from billet BAD-GS 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and pairs it with a 4150 chrome-moly barrel and an 8620 steel Black Nitride blowback bolt for reliability and easy cleaning. The free-float rail handguard carries M-LOK at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions with a full-length Picatinny rail at 12 o’clock, and the RACK ambidextrous charging handle uses a monolithic handle and a smooth side-sliding latch built to take abuse. An adjustable three-position pistol grip and an enhanced single-side safety round out the controls. Among AR pistols built around a purpose-designed blowback platform, this Xiphos configuration favors shooters who want enhanced controls throughout.
