Palmetto State Armory (PSA) is redesigning the X9 pistol due to engineering challenges encountered after its initial SHOT Show debut. The company acknowledges significant community demand, stating they were 'bullied' into bringing the X9 back. The redesigned X9 will feature a delayed operating system and maintain its magazine-in-grip configuration, though its final appearance will differ from the prototype. PSA plans to reveal an updated version within months.
This video showcases the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) X9 prototype, a 9mm pistol inspired by the aesthetics of the 5.7mm X57. It features a delayed blowback bolt system, ambidextrous charging handle, threaded barrel with a tri-lug, and a Picatinny rail. The design utilizes B&T APC9 magazines, with PSA considering Glock magazines as an alternative. The prototype's textured 3D-printed receiver is highlighted, and PSA plans to offer aluminum handguards with hand stops. The X9 is a result of customer feedback and is currently a top contender in a PSA poll for future production, with a potential release in mid-next year.
