What’s Included
- PSA AR-V SBA3 9mm pistol
- One 35-round PSA U9 polymer magazine (CZ Scorpion-pattern compatible)
The 9.25-inch 4150 CMV steel barrel is nitride-treated for corrosion resistance and threaded 1/2x28 to accept common muzzle devices or suppressors. A 1:10 right-hand twist stabilizes a wide range of 9mm loads, from standard ball to subsonic rounds.
A free-float PSA Lightweight M-LOK aluminum handguard provides ample mounting space for lights, lasers, or bipods while keeping weight down. The slick-side upper omits a forward assist for a cleaner profile and reduced snag points.
Controls are fully ambidextrous, including the magazine release, safety selector, and an extended charging handle, giving left- and right-handed shooters equal access. The enhanced polished trigger offers a smooth, consistent pull compatible with standard AR-15 fire-control groups.
The forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers wear a matte-black hard-coat anodized finish for durability. A last-round bolt hold-open improves reload speed, and the adjustable five-position SBA3 brace aids stability while retaining pistol classification.
