The CMMG Dissent delivers the ballistic advantages of 5.7x28mm ammunition in a compact, reliable platform engineered for precision shooting and tactical applications. This pistol combines CMMG's proven manufacturing quality with innovative design elements that set it apart from conventional pistol caliber carbines.
What Makes This Different
The Dissent utilizes a delayed blowback operating system specifically optimized for the 5.7x28mm cartridge, providing smoother cycling and reduced felt recoil compared to straight blowback designs. The 6.5-inch barrel maximizes velocity from the high-performance 5.7x28mm round while maintaining overall compactness. Black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance and durability beyond standard anodizing or phosphate coatings.
Key Features
- 5.7x28mm chambering delivers flat trajectory and minimal recoil with 32+1 capacity
- 6.5-inch barrel with 1:9 twist rate optimized for 5.7x28mm ballistics
- Delayed blowback action reduces bolt velocity and mechanical stress
- Zeroed drop-in single-stage trigger provides consistent 4.5-6 lb pull weight
- Picatinny buffer tube adapter enables AR-15 stock compatibility
- Black Cerakote receiver finish rated for 2,400+ hours salt spray resistance
- Standard AR-15 grip interface accepts aftermarket pistol grips
Performance testing demonstrates consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition at 50 yards. The 5.7x28mm cartridge maintains supersonic velocity beyond 200 yards, making this platform effective for precision shooting applications where standard pistol calibers fall short. Weather-sealed construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable function in adverse conditions.
