Taking a legendary ancient Greek short sword as its namesake, Battle Arms Development designed their XIPHOS AR-Pistol to be the next generation of blowback operated AR15 style pistol caliber firearms. With the foundation of a billet aluminum receiver, this compact pistol caliber carbine is lightweight, maneuverable, and filled with highly coveted attributes. The XIPHOS features a 4150 chrome-moly steel barrel and an 8620 steel blowback bolt to create a gun with top-notch reliability that's also easy to clean. Around the barrel is a 6.7" WORKHORSE free float handguard with M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. Additionally, a top Picatinny rail runs from the rear of the upper receiver all the way to the front of the handguard, so mounting accessories and optics is easy as can be. Battle Arms included a Gear Head Works pistol brace to the XIPHOS for a bit of added stability while firing. The XIPHOS also contains Battle Arms' specialized 9mm buffer system that reduces weight, recoil, and wear. In addition to that, the XIPHOS features a RACK ambidextrous charging handle, extended magazine release, enhanced takedown and pivot pins, a one piece magazine catch, an extended bolt catch, and an adjustable 3 position pistol grip. If you need a pistol caliber carbine for home defense, competition shooting, or just a fun plinking gun, the XIPHOS should be at the top of your wish list.
