The Freedom Ordnance FX-9 9mm 10-inch SB Mini pistol in black (brand part no. FX9P10SBM) is a blowback AR-pattern pistol built around Glock-type magazines. Its 10-inch barrel is the longest in the FX-9 pistol line, and the SB Mini brace keeps the rear compact. Freedom Ordnance machines the billet aluminum receiver and finishes the steel parts in nitride for long wear. A free-float M-LOK rail and AR-15 controls make it familiar to anyone who has run an AR. It works as a range pistol or as a platform for a light, optic and sling.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger (9×19), the most common handgun cartridge, so ammunition is easy to find for range sessions.
• The barrel is 10 inches long, the longest pistol barrel Freedom Ordnance lists, which gives the 9mm the most sight radius and velocity of the pistol options.
• The action is blowback, the straightforward operating system used by most pistol-caliber AR platforms.
• The rear is fitted with an SB Mini brace, a compact option that brings overall length to 25-7/16 inches.
• Weight without a magazine is 5 pounds 3.02 ounces, which keeps a 10-inch 9mm pistol easy to hold on target.
• It feeds from Glock-type magazines, a pattern that is available in many capacities from many sources.
• The handguard is a free-float M-LOK rail, which leaves the barrel unloaded and gives you slots for lights, grips and other accessories.
• The build is billet type III anodized aluminum with nitrided steel parts, including the barrel, bolt, ejector, last round hold open, feed ramp and extractor, for wear and corrosion resistance.
• The controls are AR-15 pattern, with an AR-15 safety selector and pistol grip plus a proprietary AR-style magazine release and rear charging handle.
• Freedom Ordnance backs the FX-9 with a limited lifetime warranty, which adds long-term ownership confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the black SB Mini FX-9 different from the other 10-inch versions? It carries an SB Mini brace on a black finish. Freedom Ordnance lists the 10-inch FX-9 with a pistol tube, an SBA3 brace or a KAK Shockwave Blade as separate versions.

What magazines does the FX-9 use? It takes Glock-type magazines. Freedom Ordnance ships it with a standard-capacity magazine, or whichever magazine is compliant with your state.

What ammunition does the FX-9 run? Freedom Ordnance recommends 115-grain FMJ and select hollow points, and says the FX-9 handles a wide range of jacketed and full metal jacket loads. It does not recommend non-jacketed ammunition, because unprotected lead can cause fouling and buildup, and it warns against aluminum-case ammunition and Zinc Point ammunition, which may damage the pistol and void the warranty.
