The CMMG Banshee MKG 45A150F-AB transforms the familiar AR-15 platform into a reliable pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 45 ACP. This compact firearm delivers the stopping power of a full-size pistol cartridge with the accuracy and handling characteristics of a carbine platform.
What Makes This Different
CMMG's radial delayed blowback system eliminates the need for a traditional buffer tube, allowing for true folding stock compatibility and overall length reduction. The MKG (Mike Gordon) lower receiver accepts standard Glock magazines, providing widespread ammunition compatibility and reliable feeding. This system operates at lower bolt velocities than straight blowback designs, reducing felt recoil and improving component longevity.
Key Features
- Radial delayed blowback operating system for reduced recoil and reliable cycling
- 5-inch barrel with 1:16 twist rate optimized for 45 ACP ballistics
- MKG lower receiver accepts Glock 21 magazines (13-round capacity)
- M-LOK compatible handguard for accessory mounting
- Ambidextrous safety selector and magazine release
- Standard AR-15 trigger group compatibility
- Cerakote Armor Black finish for corrosion resistance
The Banshee MKG excels in close-quarters applications where 45 ACP's subsonic characteristics provide tactical advantages. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the familiar AR-15 manual of arms combined with pistol-caliber effectiveness for indoor operations. The platform's inherent accuracy makes it suitable for precision shooting within 100 yards, while the compact profile enhances maneuverability in confined spaces.
