The modern shooter — whether preparing for close-quarters scenarios, duty carry, or a compact range rig — values a platform that balances control, concealment, and durability. A lightweight, snag-free tail section can change how quickly you manipulate an AR pistol under stress or transition between positions.

MAXIM DEFENSE PDX 505-SPS

The MAXIM DEFENSE PDX 505-SPS brings Maxim Defense’s proven platform into a more compact, tactical package without sacrificing reliability-enhancing technology. Priced at $2183.99, this configuration swaps the SCW stock or brace for Maxim’s SCW Pistol System — a purposeful design choice for operators who need a clean, low-profile rear end that won’t snag on gear or clothing.

Design and Weight Advantages

The SCW Pistol System is the standout feature. At just 5.3 ounces, it trims more than 10 ounces compared to the SCW Stock while maintaining the ergonomics and sling-compatibility operators expect. Its streamlined form has no protruding angles, reducing hangups when moving through tight spaces or transitioning from bag to ready position. The integrated rear single-point QD swivel mount puts the attachment point in an optimal location for sling use and accuracy-aiding shots down range.

Why that matters in the field

Every ounce saved improves muzzle control and reduces fatigue during extended carry. The PDX 505-SPS’s compact rear end enhances weapon manipulation during movement drills, rapid target engagement, and vehicle operations. For shooters who rig with a sling, the rear single point QD mount offers stable leverage for cheek weld and sight acquisition.

Applications and Fitment

Use the PDX 505-SPS as a compact patrol pistol, a maneuverable home-defense platform, or a range-focused build where minimal bulk is a priority. Its SCW Pistol System is ideal for builds that prioritize a smooth rear profile for holstering or movement in urban environments. While calibers and receiver choices vary, the PDX 505-SPS’s design benefits are universal across typical AR pistol chamberings.

For shooters seeking a refined, no-nonsense AR pistol tail that improves handling and sling use, the MAXIM DEFENSE PDX 505-SPS is a targeted upgrade. Shop this product on the Taylor Defense shop page to check current availability and purchase options from the retailer.
