BAD Xiphos-005 9mm 5.25″ Gray | 30+1

The Battle Arms Development Xiphos-005 is an AR-style, blow-back 9mm pistol built around a billet BAD-GS 7075-T6 aluminum receiver and a 5.25″ 4150 chrome-moly steel barrel. It features a free-float rail handguard with M-LOK slots and a full-length Picatinny rail at 12 o’clock for optics and accessories. The Xiphos uses an 8620 steel black-nitride blow-back bolt and the RACK ambidextrous charging handle for reliable operation and straightforward maintenance. Recommended optic pairing under $1,000: a compact prism or red-dot sight such as the Trijicon MRO or equivalent red-dot for rapid target acquisition without exceeding the optic budget.

Applications: range training and pistol-caliber competition (production-class PCC-style matches).
