Single shot 9mm rifle8/16/2023 ![]() ![]() It is an easy shooting carbine that is light and easy to accessorize if needed. All of the mags fed fine and dropped free. I tried the gun with G17, G18 and G19 magazines. This may be a minor thing to some people, but it is worth noting. The castle nut did not appear to be loose, but the entire assembly, including the sling mount plate, would move left and right about 1/8″. The buffer tube assembly had loosened to the point of noticeable wiggle. Nearly everything appeared to function as it had prior to shooting. I strongly recommend these for any rifle equipped with a KeyMod hand guard.Īfter about 300 rounds, I closely examined all parts of the rifle. I like the thinness of KeyMod hand guards, and these panels improved the support hand grip on the gun without adding bulk. These panels are very thin, textured polymer that snap very securely into the KeyMod attachment points. The Winchester PDX1 also had the best group of the day: 5 shots into ½”.ĭuring shooting, I added Bravo Company rail panels to the forward end of the hand guard. This 124 grain hollow point is a bonded bullet meaning it is designed to expand but retain its full (or nearly full) weight throughout its journey – even if it encounters auto glass or other hard barriers. In the closed confines of a home, that could make a huge difference – especially if you are not running a suppressor.Īlso impressive was the more conventional Winchester PDX1 Defender load. At more than 2,500 fps, the Liberty 9mm round is moving at true rifle round velocities but with a mere fraction of the recoil and report. 223 round, but it is worth consideration as a self-defense load in a carbine. I am not about to suggest that a 9mm round will behave the same as a. 223 Rem rounds between 2,800 – 2,950 fps from a 16″ barrel. As a comparison, I typically will measure 55 gr. With the 16″ barrel of the DS-9, that load averaged 2,563 fps. All measurements are an average of five shots.Īs I’ve seen in prior reviews, the Liberty Ammunition load is impressive out of a longer barrel. Performance measured with a Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph at an approximate distance of 15′ from the muzzle of the pistol. For example, the Team Never Quit was a 100-grain frangible and the Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense round used a 50-grain hollow point. Some of the loads fell outside of the typical 9mm weight range of 115 – 147 grains. With all kinds of ammunition, the gun was completely reliable. I ran 16 different factory loads through the gun to check for reliability and to measure velocity. ![]()
