Performance and Build Quality
The MAXIM DEFENSE MD9 CQB 9MM PISTOL 8.5" ARID is engineered for real-world reliability and performance. The 8.5-inch barrel delivers noticeably better muzzle velocity and energy retention than shorter barrels, resulting in improved terminal ballistics with defensive 9mm ammunition.
