CMMG Banshee MKG 45 ACP 8" Pistol with RipBrace

CMMG Banshee MKG: The Modern 45 ACP Pistol

The CMMG Banshee MKG represents a significant advancement in pistol-caliber firearm design. Chambered in 45 ACP—the cartridge that proved itself across two World Wars—this platform delivers the reliability and stopping power shooters have trusted for over a century.

Revolutionary Radial Delayed Blowback System

At the heart of the Banshee lies CMMG's proprietary Radial Delayed Blowback operating system. This engineering breakthrough addresses traditional straight blowback limitations by delivering:

• Softer recoil impulse for improved control and faster follow-up shots
• Lighter bolt carrier group reducing reciprocating mass
• Reduced buffer spring pressure for smoother operation

The result is a 45 ACP platform that handles like a modern sporting rifle while maintaining the power of the classic cartridge.
