The Grand Power Stribog SP45A3 delivers .45 ACP stopping power in a compact PDW platform designed for maximum versatility. This 8-inch barreled pistol combines the proven Stribog operating system with a factory-installed Tailhook brace for enhanced stability and control.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional pistol-caliber carbines, the SP45A3 utilizes a delayed blowback system that reduces felt recoil while maintaining the .45 ACP's terminal ballistics. The integrated Tailhook brace provides shoulder contact for improved accuracy without NFA classification. Factory Picatinny rails and ambidextrous controls accommodate both left and right-handed shooters with equal effectiveness.
Key Features
- Delayed blowback operating system reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil
- Factory-installed Tailhook Mod 1 pistol brace for enhanced stability
- 8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:16 twist rate
- Ambidextrous magazine release and charging handle operation
- Full-length Picatinny top rail plus M-LOK compatible handguard
- Accepts standard 1911-pattern .45 ACP magazines
- Non-reciprocating charging handle with last-round bolt hold open
The SP45A3 excels in close-quarters scenarios where .45 ACP's subsonic velocity and heavy bullet weight provide tactical advantages. Law enforcement and security professionals appreciate the platform's compact 26.5-inch overall length while maintaining rifle-like accuracy potential. The delayed blowback system functions reliably with both standard pressure and +P ammunition loads.
