The Grand Power Stribog SP45A3 delivers .45 ACP firepower in a compact pistol-caliber carbine platform designed for maximum versatility. This 8-inch barreled variant combines the proven Stribog operating system with SB Tactical's stabilizing brace for enhanced control and accuracy.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional blowback pistol-caliber carbines, the SP45A3 utilizes Grand Power's roller-delayed blowback system for smoother cycling and reduced felt recoil. The .45 ACP chambering provides superior terminal ballistics compared to 9mm alternatives, while the 8-inch barrel optimizes velocity and accuracy. The integrated SB Tactical brace transforms this pistol into a shoulder-fired platform without NFA requirements.
Key Features
- Roller-delayed blowback action reduces recoil and improves reliability
- 8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:16 twist rate
- SB Tactical SOB stabilizing brace with adjustable length of pull
- Accepts Glock .45 ACP magazines for ammunition flexibility
- M-LOK compatible handguard with integrated Picatinny rail sections

The SP45A3 excels in close-quarters scenarios where .45 ACP's stopping power provides tactical advantages. Competition shooters appreciate the flat-shooting trajectory and manageable recoil, while the compact 26.5-inch overall length makes it suitable for vehicle storage and confined spaces. The roller-delayed system maintains consistent cycling across various ammunition weights and manufacturers.
