The GForce Arms Blade8 9mm pistol (GForce Arms part no. BLADE8) is the longest-barreled Blade, a blowback pistol with an 8-inch barrel that runs on Glock magazines. GForce Arms gives it an aluminum receiver with a black anodized finish, a QPQ-treated 4140 steel barrel and a 1/2-28 threaded muzzle. One 33-round magazine is included, and the extra barrel length adds sight radius and velocity over the 6-inch Blade6. It makes a stable range pistol and a solid base for a light, an optic or a brace.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 9x19mm, a common round with plentiful ammunition.
• The barrel is 8 inches, which adds sight radius and a little more velocity than shorter Blades.
• Weight is 6.2 pounds, enough mass to tame recoil on rapid strings.
• Capacity is 33 rounds in the included magazine, for long strings between reloads.
• The barrel is 4140 steel with a QPQ finish, which resists corrosion and wear.
• The receiver is aluminum with a black anodized finish, a hard surface that stays light.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28 UNEF, the standard pitch for 9mm muzzle devices and suppressors.
• The pistol has top and bottom 1913 Picatinny rails, with a rear Picatinny rail for a brace.
• Sights are flip-up polymer, a built-in backup that folds out of the way of an optic.
• The safety is an ambidextrous selector, so left- and right-handed shooters operate it alike.
