The 870 Perfected? Nighthawk's Shotguns

The 870 Perfected? Nighthawk’s Shotguns

Stag Model 9T–Game Changing 9mm Carbine

Some 9mm ARs feel a bit half baked, like the gun can’t decide if it wants to be a carbine or an AR pistol. Others cobble together parts to make the mags fit. Not this one. Stag’s new 9T is a full on rifle. There’s nothing about this gun that’s a compromise, and it may change the way you think about the pistol caliber concept.
