Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF) released the Phoenix 9mm pistol at NRAAM this year. It’s a straight blowback AR-style gun with a non-reciprocating, forward-mounted side charging handle on its monolithic upper receiver and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear.
Magazines are unique to the Phoenix and hold 35 rounds.
Mag release and safety are fully ambidextrous, and the charging handle can be swapped from left to right side.
The charging handle folds flat so it’s out of the way.
It flips up easily for use.
With an M1913 Picatinny rail at rear, there are plenty of compatible pistol brace, pistol support, and shoulder stock (SBR laws would apply) options.
