Maxim Defense Arid MDX:508 CP 5.56mm 8.5" Pistol - Gen. 7 CQB Brace

When precision meets power in a compact form, you get the MDX:508 Pistol—a tactical evolution born from the legendary PDX platform. Designed for operators who demand reliability, enhanced velocity, and superior control, the MDX:508 delivers uncompromising performance in a sleek, maneuverable package.

Featuring an 8.5” barrel, this pistol strikes the perfect balance between compactness and ballistic efficiency, making it ideal for close-quarters engagements and rapid deployment scenarios. The Gen. 7 CQB Brace ensures ergonomic comfort and stability, while the proprietary bolt carrier group and buffer system guarantee smooth cycling and long-term durability under extreme conditions.

What truly sets the MDX:508 apart is the HATEBRAKE muzzle booster—a patent-pending innovation that reduces recoil, minimizes flash, and directs gas and concussion away from the shooter for a cleaner, more controlled experience. Built from aerospace-grade materials and finished in rugged Type III anodizing, this pistol is engineered to perform and built to last.
