It has finally arrived. Kytac’s big announcement is the unveiling of the fully licensed Silencer Co Maxim 9 Gas Blowback Pistol. For “The Division” fans, this will be a collectible for them and for airsoft players it’s a welcome change from the usual 1911-style, Glock-style and SIG-style airsoft pistol offerings in the market.

We are curious on how stealthy the Krytac Maxim 9 GBB Pistol is since the real world Maxim 9 is the world’s first first holster-able, integrally suppressed 9mm pistol. Though the airsoft version’s suppressor is a mock suppressor, a reduction in sound signature can still be a big welcome. It can use either CO2 or Green Gas as power source.

For the trigger happy airsoft player, the Krytac Maxim 9 has semi and full auto modes so if they want to empty their magazines of 6mm BBs, they can do it in no time. With the 11mm positive CW thread and removable front plate makes it ready to take it airsoft tracer units made by companies such as Acetech with the use of Tracer and Extension Kit.

No need to worry about mounting optics as it is already optics ready and can be compatible with RMR, RMRcc, and RMS optics with the multi-footprint mounting plate.

If you ask us what is an airsoft pistol for the 21st Century, then this is it. Apart from the features already mentioned above, the Kytac Maxim 9 is also rail-equipped, allowing for the mounting of weapons accessories. It is fully ambidextrous and can use compatible with Tokyo Marui gas blowback inner barrels and buckings, making it easy to find such parts.

The Krytac Maxim 9 Gas Blowback Pistol is now on pre-order with an expected release in November 2022. If you want to place you pre-order now, airsoft players in the U.S.A. can go to Evike.com and for UK-based airsoft players, they can go to Land Warrior Airsoft.
