Dark Storm Variant 1 Fixed Magazine Pistol
The Variant 1 Fixed Magazine Pistol is built for compliance in all many states with "assault weapon" bans, including Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York (varies by County), Washington DC and Washington State. With a permanently affixed magazine and patented fixed mag lower receiver, it does not meet the definition of an "assault weapon" in these jurisdictions. This pistol is currently NOT for sale in California or Massachusetts as they are not listed on the roster.
Built on a precision matched billet receiver set, the Variant 1 features competition performance and combat reliability. The Tungsten Cerakote finish over the detail rich design by Ed Earle makes the Variant 1 stand out in a drown of boring black guns. The Variant 1 includes partial ambidextrous controls and an compact 6" M-Lok handguard for mounting a variety of accessories. The SOCOM profile 7.5" barrel minimizes overall length while maintaining functionality with a pistol length gas system. On the front end an expansion chamber based Competition Compensator nearly eliminates muzzle rise and felt recoil. The Variant 1 includes Hogue rubber over-molded polymer pistol grip and SB Tactical SBA brace for rock solid control in any conditions.
Every firearm is hand assembled and individually tested at our factory in Rockledge, Florida with All American Made Components and Materials
