A roller-delayed blowback system has one or more rollers that must be overcome prior to the bolt moving rearward.<\/p>\n<p>This delay allows for pressure to drop and provides a noticeably smoother recoil cycle. For full-auto submachine guns, that keeps the muzzle down and allows for a very controllable firearm, even with guns that have a fairly high cyclic rate.<\/p>\n<p>That smooth action and spread-out recoil impulse is exponentially more valuable if the gun doesn\u2019t have a stock. With a roller-delayed blowback action, the shooter is much more likely to be able to control muzzle rise and get the pistol\u2019s muzzle back on target quickly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_530908\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-530908\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530908\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-560x560.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239.jpg 770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-700x700.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530908\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-700x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239-560x560.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111239.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-530908\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How well does it work?

That\u2019s simple enough, with a non-reciprocating charging handle that comes from the factory on the left side of the MDP-9, but can be easily moved to the right side if you like.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_530911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-530911\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530911\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829.jpg 770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530911\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111829.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-530911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For normal, decent right-handed folks, the non-reciprocating handle on the left side is just about perfect. With a \u201cC-clamp\u201d grip around the handguard, the charging handle makes a great front stop for your support hand, and really keeps the muzzle down and in line with the target.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, bump firing the MDP-9, even with the stock heavy-ish trigger, is easy to do when firing from the hip. Since the receiver includes a lower Picatinny rail, you could mount a laser or laser\/light combo there, put the dot on the target, and blast away from the hip like the 80\u2019s action star of your choice. I\u2019m pretty sure that 73% of the time spent with these types of guns is spent exactly in this manner.<\/p>\n<p>The full-length rail on the top provides plenty of real estate for mounting all sort of sights or optics, which is handy, as the MDP-9 ships without any sights at all.

If you don\u2019t like the black Type III anodized hard coat finish, you can have the pistol Cerakoted FDE or \u201ctactical grey.\u201d As it is, the finish is extremely well done.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_530918\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-530918\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530918\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835.jpg 770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530918\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220814_111835.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-530918\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are a couple weird things on the gun.

But also note those huge roll pins, and, for some unknown reason, they are all set in a little bit far to the left. I took a look at a few photos of other guns online, and they all seem to be this way. I have no idea why roll pins were used, or why they aren\u2019t centered.<\/p>\n<p>The MDP-9 is an extremely well-built gun. You\u2019re going to need a punch of some type to remove the rear take-down pin, and the whole thing is put together well. There are no rough machining marks in the gun. Everything is smooth and well polished, with sharp lines where they should be and smoothed curves where they should be, too. I can\u2019t find any part of the MDP-9 where the design wasn\u2019t well thought out, or the execution of that design looks rushed or compromised.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_530912\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-530912\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530912\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-700x420.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-696x418.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-560x336.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134.jpg 770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-700x420.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-530912\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-700x420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-700x420.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-696x418.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134-560x336.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220813_194134.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-530912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The end result is exactly what <a href=\"https:\/\/angstadtarms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Angstadt Arms<\/a> set out to deliver; a modern roller-delayed sub-gun that just happens to be lighter and with more complete options than anything else on the market. The Angstadt Arms MDP-9 is the new standard by which all others in its category should be judged.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Specifications: <a href=\"https:\/\/angstadtarms.com\/mdp9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Angstadt Arms MDP-9<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>ACTION: Roller-delayed blowback<br \/>CALIBER: 9mm NATO<br \/>COLORS: Black Type III Hard Coat Anodized, Magpul FDE Cerakote &amp; Tactical Grey Cerakote<br \/>MAGAZINE: Includes two (2) 27 round Magpul PMAG GL9 magazines.<br \/>ENDRAIL INTERFACE: 1913 endrail with QD sling socket.<br \/>UPPER ASSEMBLY: 7075-T6 aluminum monolithic upper receiver assembly with continuous top picatinny rail, M-LOK interface and QD sling points<br \/>CHARGING HANDLE: Non-reciprocating ambidextrous forward charging handle (can be swapped from left to right side)<br \/>LOWER RECEIVER: 7075-T6 billet aluminum lower receiver with flared magwell, extended magazine release, threaded bolt catch screw and B5 Systems Type 23 pistol grip<br \/>LRBHO: Last round bolt hold open on an empty magazine<br \/>FIRE CONTROLS: The MDP-9\u00ae is compatible with most aftermarket 9mm PCC triggers.<br \/>BARREL: 5.85\u2033 chrome moly black melonite barrel with a 1\/10 twist and threaded 1\/2\u00d728 TPI<br \/>MUZZLE DEVICE: Removable 3-lug muzzle device<br \/>OVERALL LENGTH: 14\u2033<br \/>WEIGHT (EMPTY): 3.7 lbs unloaded with no magazine<br \/><strong>Price: $2,699<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ratings (out of five stars):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Style and Appearance * * * *<\/strong><br \/>Industrial, as expected, but very well executed.

The Angstadt Arms MDP-9\u2019s really got what everyone has been waiting for. Half a star off for not including a better trigger or any sights at this price point. If this gun were mine, it would be SBR\u2019d already, and I\u2019d still be shooting it.
