The Mimic Speed 9 is a 9mm PCC built around a proprietary 60-round, dual-stack flip magazine that keeps AR-style ergonomics but lacks broader compatibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Different Take on High-Capacity PCCs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At SHOT Show 2026, Mimic Firearms showed off the Speed 9, a pistol-caliber carbine that looks familiar at first glance but quickly separates itself. The rifle runs a proprietary steel magazine that holds 60 rounds of 9mm in two opposing 30-round stacks. When the first stack runs dry, the shooter removes the magazine, flips it, reinserts it, and keeps going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That system keeps the magazine dimensions comparable to a standard 5.56 AR mag. The goal is simple: higher capacity without oversized mags or awkward handling. Mimic says the design maintains reliability while improving efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n

Both the rifle and magazines felt exceptionally sturdy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Proprietary, But Not Completely Alien<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the Speed 9 uses a proprietary upper and lower receiver<\/a>, it does not abandon common AR controls entirely. The rifle accepts standard AR triggers<\/a>, safeties, and charging handles. The magazine release, bolt catch, and other internals are proprietary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver uses a removable insert that houses the feed ramp and bolt catch. Mimic placed the bolt catch on the opposite side of the magwell and links it with a lever. This design increases leverage from the mag follower and improves last-round bolt hold-open consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up top, the receiver includes an ammo depressor secured by two screws. This component pushes the rear stack down, keeping it clear of the bolt so the rifle only feeds from the active front stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A picture of a loaded mag is what drew me to the booth. It looked more like AI gone wrong than a new product.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Options and Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mimic offers the Speed 9 in roughly 90 configurations. Buyers choose between standard and Pro models, three barrel lengths<\/a>, and multiple color options for receivers and furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrel options<\/a> include 5.5-inch, 8.5-inch, and 16-inch variants. The standard model starts at $1,799. That gets you a non-dimpled bolt carrier, standard handguard, Magpul furniture, and no ambidextrous controls. The Pro model jumps to $2,499 and adds upgraded features, materials, and ambi controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazines cost $59.99 each, or $165 for a three-pack. They\u2019re made from stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mimic plans to start production toward the end of Q1 2026. A firm shipping date is still up in the air. As with many SHOT Show<\/a> launches, real-world availability will be the real test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
