The Grand Power Stribog SP9A3 delivers proven blowback reliability in a compact PDW platform designed for professional and civilian applications. This 9mm pistol combines European engineering precision with practical American features like the SB Tactical Tailhook brace for enhanced stability and control.
What Makes This Different
Unlike direct blowback systems that slam the bolt against the receiver, the Stribog SP9A3 utilizes Grand Power's delayed blowback action for smoother cycling and reduced felt recoil. The roller-delayed system allows for a lighter bolt while maintaining reliable extraction and ejection. This translates to faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire sequences compared to traditional straight blowback designs.
Key Features
- Delayed blowback action reduces recoil impulse and bolt slam
- 30-round magazine capacity with last-round bolt hold open
- SB Tactical Tailhook Mod 1 brace for improved stability
- Non-reciprocating charging handle prevents interference during firing
- Ambidextrous magazine release and safety selector
- Full-length Picatinny top rail for optics mounting
- Threaded 1/2x28 muzzle for suppressor compatibility
The SP9A3's 8-inch barrel provides excellent ballistic performance from 9mm ammunition while maintaining overall compactness at just 19.7 inches with the brace collapsed. The aluminum receiver features a hard-coat anodized finish for corrosion resistance, while the polymer grip module offers ergonomic control surfaces. Law enforcement agencies and competitive shooters appreciate the consistent trigger pull and reliable feeding from various 9mm ammunition weights.
