FAXON SPORT 16" 9MM PCC RIFLE
FaxonDescription
FAXON SPORT 16” 9MM PCC RIFLE / FXSPT916TA15
The Faxon Sport 16” 9mm PCC Rifle (FXSPT916TA15) is Faxon’s entry into the pistol caliber carbine category: a complete, factory-built 9mm rifle that feeds from Glock® magazines and is built around Faxon-made upper components throughout. The Faxon Duty Series 16” barrel, Faxon Gen 2 full-mass blowback BCG, and Faxon Streamline 15” M-LOK handguard are all machined in-house in Ohio and assembled into a Glock-pattern lower with last-round bolt hold open (LRBHO). A 30-round ETS magazine ships in the box. At $997.00, the Sport 9mm PCC delivers proven Faxon internals on a mil-spec platform at a price that makes sense for shooters who want a factory-built PCC with quality components — not just a budget carbine wearing an unfamiliar badge.
The Faxon Sport 9mm PCC is a serialized firearm and must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer. Contact your preferred FFL to arrange transfer before ordering. Verify state and local laws regarding pistol caliber carbines before purchase.
If you own a Glock® 9mm pistol, the magazines you already have work in the Sport PCC. No separate magazine ecosystem to maintain. Run the same 17- or 33-round Glock mags in both the pistol and the carbine, and standard 9mm defensive and range ammunition works in both platforms. This is the defining feature of the Glock-pattern PCC lower and the primary reason shooters choose it over a dedicated-mag PCC.
The Glock-pattern lower includes last-round bolt hold-open linkage, so the bolt locks back when the magazine runs empty — just like a standard centerfire rifle. Many blowback PCCs do not include LRBHO, requiring the shooter to infer empty by feel or round count. LRBHO tells you immediately when it’s time to reload, which matters for both training and competition. It works with standard Glock magazines without modification.
The blowback system means there is no gas block, gas tube, or adjustable gas setting anywhere on the rifle. The Faxon barrel has no gas port. The Faxon Gen 2 full-mass BCG cycles by direct blowback: the spent case pushes the carrier rearward against the buffer spring. Fewer parts to tune, fewer parts to fail, and no gas block to time or swap. Maintenance is straightforward: keep the BCG and barrel clean and the rifle runs.
The barrel, BCG, and handguard are all Faxon-made and machined in-house, not sourced from outside vendors and assembled under the Faxon name. The Duty Series barrel is 4150 CMV, salt bath nitrided inside and out, with Glock/Colt feed ramps, 1:10 twist, and 1/2×28 muzzle threads. The Gen 2 BCG is MIL-SPEC 8620 steel with a full-mass blowback carrier and removable weight. The 15” Streamline M-LOK handguard is hard coat anodized 6061 aluminum. Every component in the upper is covered by Faxon’s Lifetime Guarantee.

The result is a rifle where the components that directly affect function, accuracy, and longevity are Ohio-machined and Faxon-guaranteed, while the stock, grip, and trigger are honest mil-spec parts that work. Upgrade the furniture when you want to; the upper is already there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this require an FFL transfer?
Yes. The Faxon Sport 9mm PCC is a serialized complete firearm and must ship to a licensed FFL dealer. Contact your preferred local FFL to arrange transfer before placing your order. You will need to provide your FFL’s information during checkout. Verify state and local regulations regarding pistol caliber carbines in your area before purchasing.
Which Glock® magazines work in this rifle?
The Glock-pattern lower accepts all standard Glock® 9mm double-stack magazines, including Glock 17 (17-round), Glock 19 (15-round), and Glock 33-round extended magazines. It also accepts aftermarket Glock-pattern 9mm magazines such as ETS, Magpul PMAG 27 GL9, and others built to Glock magazine specifications. Single-stack Glock 43/43X/48 magazines are not compatible — this lower requires Glock® double-stack 9mm pattern magazines.
What is LRBHO and why does it matter?
LRBHO stands for Last Round Bolt Hold Open. When the last round in the magazine is fired, a linkage in the lower receiver catches the bolt carrier and holds it open, just like a standard centerfire rifle. Many blowback 9mm PCCs do not include LRBHO; the bolt simply rides forward on an empty chamber and the shooter has no immediate tactile or visual indication that the magazine is empty. LRBHO eliminates that ambiguity — the bolt locks back, you know you’re empty, you reload and release the bolt. This is especially useful for competition shooting and training where split-second awareness of round count matters.
Does this rifle need a gas block or gas tube?
No. The Sport 9mm PCC uses a blowback operating system. There is no gas port in the barrel, no gas block, and no gas tube. The Faxon Gen 2 BCG cycles by direct blowback — the fired case pushes the carrier rearward against the buffer spring — not by gas diversion. This makes the system simpler to maintain and eliminates gas-system-related malfunctions entirely. No gas adjustment is needed or possible.
What ammunition does this rifle use?
The Sport PCC is chambered in 9mm Luger (9x19mm SAAMI). It runs standard 9mm defensive and range ammunition including FMJ, JHP, and most 9mm loads. The 1:10 right-hand twist and 11° target crown on the Duty Series barrel are optimized for standard-weight 9mm projectiles. Subsonic 9mm loads will function but suppressor use would require a muzzle device swap since the rifle ships with a flash hider, not a suppressor mount.
Can I swap the stock, grip, or trigger?
Yes. The Sport 9mm PCC is built on a mil-spec platform. The M4 GI pattern stock uses a standard mil-spec buffer tube, compatible with any mil-spec AR-pattern collapsible or fixed stock. The grip is standard mil-spec AR grip pattern, compatible with any mil-spec AR grip. The trigger group uses standard AR/mil-spec dimensions, compatible with drop-in trigger upgrades from any AR trigger manufacturer (Geissele, TriggerTech, CMC, LaRue, etc.).
What muzzle devices fit the barrel?
The Duty Series barrel has 1/2×28 TPI muzzle threads. Any 9mm-rated muzzle device threaded 1/2×28 will fit, including the Faxon MuzzLok® 9mm flash hider, 9mm compensators, and direct-thread suppressor mounts in 1/2×28. Note that the barrel is not a .30-caliber bore — use only 9mm-rated (or larger bore) muzzle devices; 5.56/.223 muzzle devices threaded 1/2×28 have a smaller bore diameter and must not be used on a 9mm barrel.
Is this covered by the Faxon Lifetime Guarantee?
Yes. The Faxon-manufactured components (barrel, BCG, handguard) are covered by Faxon’s Lifetime Guarantee against manufacturing and material defects to the original purchaser.
