The Patriot Ordnance Factory Phoenix is a semi-automatic, AR-style pistol chambered in 9mm Luger with an 8.5-inch threaded barrel finished in Flat Dark Earth Cerakote. It runs on blowback operation and uses ambidextrous controls, so it handles the same for right- or left-handed shooters. The upper and lower follow the AR pattern, which keeps the manual of arms familiar to anyone who already runs an AR rifle. The pistol ships with a 35-round magazine for extended range use.
