Sub 19-inches overall and sub 5-pounds? Sign us up. Of course, with both 5.56 and 7.62×39 offerings we can't inagine 300blk will be too far behind.

We can't wait to get hands on with one. Stay tuned.

Here's what Maxim Defense tells us:

St Cloud, MN – Maxim Defense, the premiere manufacturer in PDW-stocks, pistol braces, and accessories, is unveiling it's newly-designed PDX™ in 7.62x39mm and 5.56 NATO calibers at SHOT Show 2019 in both SBR and Pistol formats.

Born from the SOCOM PDW solicitation, the NEW Maxim Defense PDX™ is designed to handle the fierce demands of the Tier-1 community. The PDX™ dominates in close quarter encounters and achieves maximum energy on target without sacrificing accuracy at distance. At just 18.75″ in overall length and 5 lbs 11oz. in weight, the PDX™ is the ultimate choice for when concealment and personal defense is non-negotiable.

At the heart of the PDX™ is our newly developed Maxim SCW™ stock system. This patent-pending design cuts down the length of the stock from the 7” collapsed length of a GI M4 stock to only 4.” Additionally, it features an integrated BCG with interchangeable buffer weights to give you the flexibility to maximize performance and versatility without sacrificing functionality or form.

The PDX™ is equipped with a newly invented Maxim HATEBRAKE™ Muzzle Booster. This patent-pending device significantly reduces recoil, decreases the flash signature, pushes gasses and concussion waves downrange away from the shooter, improving overall experience with short-barrel pistols and rifles.
