CMMG Dissent Pistol, 5.56 NATO, 6.5-Inch, Black Cerakote

The CMMG Dissent pistol in 5.56x45mm NATO with a Black Cerakote receiver (brand part no. 55A938FAB) is one of the shortest, most stowable personal defense weapons CMMG builds, using the company’s buffer-less Compact Action to house the recoil system entirely inside the upper receiver. CMMG free-floats the 6.5-inch barrel inside a 5.5-inch M-LOK handguard, and a ZEROED drop-in single-stage trigger sharpens the trigger pull. The rear Picatinny buffer adapter plate takes the place of a conventional buffer tube, and an OEM CMMG grip and ambidextrous safety round out the controls. Among AR pistols built for maximum portability, this Dissent configuration favors shooters who want the smallest possible 5.56 AR pistol.
