I'd never heard of it.   Intriguing.   Looks like something out of a futuristic sci-fi shooter.

But.....I kinda like the idea of an integrally suppressed 9mm.....Though it's big and bulky enough I'm thinking a standard 9mm+can is a better alternative.

 

A local shop had them to try out, but I didn't make it over there. I like the idea. Maybe if the HPA ever passes I'll think more heavily about it. Until then, waiting a year to get a pistol you can't take the can off and put on another pistol? How about if you ever wanted to sell it? Gotta sit on it for a year once you find a buyer so they can get their tax stamp? Nope. I realize that's the same with suppressors and other NFA items, but you can't sell the pistol by itself.
I'll stick with my current cans that I can put on just about anything.

Silencerco sent me an email blast talking about their new Maxim 9 Patches.

This got me thinking about the Maxim 9.  Honestly, I've never taken this handgun seriously.   I like the looks.  I like the idea of a quiet pistol.  But is it ready for Prime Time?
Has anyone here seen one up close or tried it out?  Have one?
What do you guys think?

I have had some local shooters test it out.  It is quieter than they expected.  One guy does IDPA a lot and he said he'd consider shooting with it.  I missed the local range day when they had these available to shoot but I will probably pick one up in the future.

Y'know... they might as well integrate a light or a laser into the blessed thing... at least a wee bit o' rail... I mean, it's whole raison d'etre is self-defense...

Due to the cost and restrictions involved in the NFA I just can't justify getting a integrated nfa item like the maxim 9. I'd buy one in a minute without the restrictions and hassle but until they are lifted I need to maximize the utility of each of my nfa items.

They had an entire wall of Maxim 9s at the show and the booth was absolutely packed. The consensus was that if the Hearing Protection Act gets passed, and the pistol functions as promised, Silencerco is going to get very rich very quickly.

Not really...



Now, there are any number of guns from different anime that look similar...

I wasn't going for autism level  specific.

 

Me thinks she's a bit front heavy.

Remind y'all of anything?

Yeah, that looks better for one thing.
And it has a cooler muzzle flash.
