Also, you might be concerned about the reliability of the platform. You also probably don’t want to purchase expensive proprietary magazines (or an expensive firearm for that matter). Here’s how I look at this novel platform (seriously Flux Defense crew, kudos on thinking outside the box and taking advantage of the p320 modularity): If you’re looking for a 9mm carbine-style firearm, you probably want it to be small and light. It may not look like what you expect to see but it is AWESOME. Once I realized that it wasn’t adding things to a p320 but rather it was its own thing, that is the smallest and lightest 9mm carbine-style platform available that used readily available parts and magazines, with some p320 parts inside, I saw its genius. I couldn’t understand why someone would put all of that…stuff… onto a Sig P320. The Flux Defense crew sent us an MP17 (pistol brace version) for us to review.įull disclosure: My first thought upon seeing the MP17 online was…. It’s a really novel idea by Flux Defense. This means that most parts between a completed MP17 and Sig 320 are interchangeable and the magazines can be used in both! By making a platform for a firearm (and not a firearm itself), the MP17 can take the guts of a Sig p320 and it uses p320 magazines. Also, parts between the two are not interchangeable.įlux Defense solved these problems and more. If a soldier or officer has a 9mm PDW, there’s a good chance that they have to carry two different types of magazines for their PDW and sidearm. The problem with this is, especially in a tactical scenario, lack of commonality of parts and magazines. However, most 9mm carbines/PDWs are dedicated platforms that don’t share anything in common with a sidearm. And why not? They’re a ton of fun to shoot, low recoil, compact/concealable, and they shoot inexpensive ammo.Īlso, the PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) style is popular with executive protection teams. It seems like the industry is flooded with 9mm carbines.
