Key features and tactical applications

The 17-round magazine capacity gives a balance between capacity and compactness for close-quarters scenarios and range sessions. Magpul MBUS flip-up sights are durable and suppressor-ready in layout, allowing quick co-witnessing with compact optics or backup iron use. The M-LOK handguard offers multiple mounting points for lights and grips without adding unnecessary bulk, while the Magpul hand stop promotes positive muzzle control during transitional movement.

Condition notes and Certified Used benefits

The Certified Used stamp means the firearm has been inspected and graded as very good to excellent and comes with a ‘no questions asked’ return policy. The advertised gouges in the buffer tube are cosmetic, but buyers should verify the fit of any stabilizing brace or buffer-tube-mounted accessory prior to installation. Classified in the Semi Auto category, this platform is straightforward to maintain and upgrade with common AR-pattern parts.

When evaluating a used pistol like this, check the action, sight alignment, and magazine lockup; these items are most important to reliable operation. For those who want immediate usability and a clear upgrade path, the KE ARMS KE-9 covers the basics well.
