Battle Arms Development Xiphos-005 Pistol, 9mm, 5.25-Inch, Gray

The Battle Arms Development Xiphos-005 (Battle Arms part no. XIPHOS005) is a purpose-built, next-generation blowback AR-style pistol chambered in 9mm. At its core is a billet BAD-GS 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum receiver paired with a free-float M-LOK handguard, giving the Xiphos a rigid, precise foundation to build on. A 5.25-inch chrome-moly steel barrel and 8620 steel black nitride blowback bolt keep the pistol running reliably and easy to clean. Finished in gray, the Xiphos-005 is built for shooters who want a pistol-caliber AR with premium billet construction rather than a standard mil-spec build. Battle Arms Development loaded it with enhanced ergonomic upgrades throughout.
