CMMG Banshee MKGS
Best compact pistol for shooters seeking reliable, high-capacity tactical performance.
This is the ultimate compact platform for those who want the familiar ergonomics of an AR paired with the convenience of common pistol magazines. The radial delayed blowback system significantly tames recoil, making it incredibly shootable, though you sacrifice the raw simplicity of a standard direct blowback design for that added mechanical refinement.
