The foundation of this build is the Tennessee Arms Company TAC-9 polymer lower, finished in Flat Dark Earth and designed for Glock-pattern magazines. Per maker literature, the lower uses fiber-reinforced nylon with embedded metal or brass inserts at stress points. Controls include a manual safety, and a QD-socket end plate is installed at the rear of the receiver.
The 8-inch 9mm upper uses a simple blowback action with a left-side charging handle and no forward assist. The ejection-port dust cover is marked 9MM. The barrel is threaded and fitted with an A2-pattern birdcage flash hider.
A free-float aluminum handguard with vent cuts and a short forward rail section surrounds the barrel. A continuous 1913 Picatinny top rail runs the length of the upper and handguard, and low-profile folding iron sights are installed.
Ergonomics and handling are supported by a Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer mounted on a carbine receiver extension and a Hogue overmolded rubber grip. The build presents a two-tone FDE upper and lower with black furniture and brace. Capacity is 15+1 with the included 15-round Magpul PMAG GL9 magazine.
