Design and key features

The GEN 3’s 17" threaded barrel allows easy attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors where legal, and the flat top upper accepts optics directly — a must for quick target acquisition. The 6-position black stock provides a range of length-of-pull adjustments for different shooters or when wearing body armor. With a clean black finish and 13-round magazine, the carbine balances concealability and capacity for defensive scenarios.

Barrel, controls, and ergonomics

The threaded 17" barrel extends sight radius and improves velocity for .45 ACP loadings while preserving compact maneuverability indoors. Controls are laid out for practical use; the flat top simplifies mounting a red dot or low-power variable optic. The adjustable stock and carbine-length handguard make this platform adaptable for multiple roles.

Caliber considerations: .45 ACP

.45 ACP is known for solid terminal performance at typical pistol and carbine ranges. In a 17" barrel, certain .45 loads gain a modest velocity increase and can improve reliability in feeding and extraction. For defensive use, .45 ACP offers controllable recoil in a carbine chassis while delivering strong momentum on target.

Performance and applications

Expect predictable recoil impulse and straightforward follow-up shots thanks to the carbine platform and stock. The 13-round magazine aligns with common defensive loadouts for those prioritizing larger caliber hits over higher capacity. The 6-position stock helps tailor comfort for home defense, range work, or truck carry.
