Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Freedom Ordnance FX-9 unique compared to other 9mm PCCs?

The Freedom Ordnance FX-9 stands out because its receiver is specifically sized for 9mm, making it about an inch shorter than standard AR-15 receivers. This purpose-built design contributes to a more compact form factor and potentially lighter reciprocating mass.

How does the Matador Arms adjustable brake on the FX-9 function?

The Matador Arms adjustable brake allows users to tune muzzle blast and concussion. It can be opened up for a softer shooting experience outdoors or closed down to reduce noise and concussion in crowded or indoor environments, offering quick adjustability.

What is the benefit of the Pistol Storage Solutions device on the FX-9?

The Pistol Storage Solutions device on the FX-9 has a unique ATF classification, meaning it's not considered a brace or stock. This provides a legal alternative that avoids the regulatory uncertainties surrounding pistol braces.

Does the FX-9 lock open on an empty magazine?

With the stiffer recoil spring installed by the presenter, the FX-9's bolt does not travel far enough to lock open on an empty magazine. This modification is made to soften recoil, though it sacrifices the last-round hold-open feature.
