Maxim Defense started as a one-man operation in 2013 with an idea for a new PDW stock. That stock begat a PDW brace, and then acquisition of an awful lot of talent. Three years ago in RECOIL Issue 41, we showed you their PDX, a 5.5-inch barreled PDW — because a PDW stock needs a PDW to live on. But what really impressed us is that the PDX actually functions properly, even chambered in the difficult-in-ARs 7.62x39. At the end of that article, we said there was a lot more to come in the future, and here we are now in the future.
Some of what you’ll see in these pages are previews, and most are pre-production prototypes but should be representative of what you’ll soon see on store shelves, including new weapons, specialty ammunition to make those weapons more effective, and silencers to go on them. Some names and a weight here or there may change, but the bones are all here. If you’re attending SHOT Show in January 2022, you can see all of this firsthand on the show floor yourself.
