CMMG Dissent MK4 9mm pistol with 6.5" barrel, 33-round capacity, left-side charging handle, M-LOK handguard, and linear compensator. Midnight Bronze receiver with Picatinny brace adapter.
The AR-15 platform's greatest strength has always been modularity, and CMMG brings that advantage to the 9mm world with the Dissent MK4. This is a purpose-built 9mm pistol that leverages the familiarity of the AR platform while addressing the unique demands of pistol-caliber shooting.
The engineering here is straightforward: CMMG recognized that 9mm ammunition varies significantly in performance characteristics. Their solution—a lighter bolt carrier group with less felt recoil, combined with the radial delayed blowback system—delivers consistent performance across a wider range of ammunition while maintaining lower receiver compatibility. This is practical engineering that translates to reliable shooting.
Whether you're building a dedicated 9mm platform or exploring what modern pistol-caliber carbines can do, the Dissent MK4 delivers the modularity and performance the AR platform is known for.
