Design and key components

The ALEX PRO 223 REM/5.56 NATO 10.5″ PISTOL is a semi-automatic platform built around a 10.5″ barrel with a 1:7 twist and a matte black finish. The shorter 10.5″ barrel keeps overall length compact for maneuvering in tight spaces while the 1:7 twist stabilizes heavier projectiles often used in defensive scenarios. The APF 9″ MLOK handguard provides ample real estate to mount lights, lasers, or grips without adding unnecessary bulk.

Controls and shootability

Factory-equipped with a Single Stage Mil-Spec Trigger, this pistol gives a predictable, straightforward break that many operators prefer for defense. The SB Tactical SBA3 Brace enhances cheek weld and stability without converting the pistol into a rifle configuration; users should always confirm local and federal rules before modifying or shouldering any brace-equipped pistol.

Caliber and magazine

Chambered for .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, the platform offers low recoil, wide ammunition availability, and effective terminal performance within typical defensive engagement ranges. It ships with one 30-round magazine, supporting sustained follow-up shots when needed. The included 30Rd magazine is standard for tactical setups and allows operators to focus on rapid, accurate pairs and controlled bursts.

Accessories and mounting

The APF 9″ MLOK handguard accepts modern attachments while keeping weight forward and balance centered. Between the handguard, the SBA3 brace, and the 1:7 barrel twist, this configuration supports a range of optics and suppressor-ready back-end upgrades for users who plan to evolve their setup.
