ArmaLite M-15 PDW 9mm Carbine 33+1 16" Barrel Glock Compatible

The ArmaLite M-15 PDW transforms the proven AR-15 platform into a versatile 9mm carbine that accepts widely available Glock magazines. This configuration delivers rifle-length accuracy with pistol cartridge economics and reduced recoil.

What Makes This Different

Built on ArmaLite's proven M-15 lower receiver, this PDW variant chambers the popular 9mm Luger cartridge while maintaining full compatibility with Glock magazines. The 16-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for the 9mm round, achieving approximately 1,200 fps with 124-grain ammunition. Unlike dedicated pistol caliber carbines, this platform offers familiar AR-15 controls and modularity.

Key Features

• 16-inch barrel optimized for 9mm Luger performance and legal compliance
• Glock magazine compatibility accepts 17, 19, 33-round and extended magazines
• Magpul STR stock with multiple length-of-pull positions and storage compartment
• MOE+ grip provides enhanced texture and ergonomic finger grooves
• Magpul MBUS flip-up backup iron sights for reliable target acquisition
• Integrated muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise
• Full-length Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories

The 9mm chambering makes this carbine ideal for training applications where reduced noise and lower ammunition costs matter. Indoor ranges often prefer 9mm over rifle cartridges, while the familiar AR-15 manual of arms transfers directly from standard rifles. The Glock magazine system eliminates proprietary magazine concerns and provides access to high-capacity options.
