Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement.

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line.

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum.

As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters.

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line.

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag.

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His intellect, experience and passion for guns, politics and freedom will forever be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be able to call him a friend. We miss you, brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His intellect, experience and passion for guns, politics and freedom will forever be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be able to call him a friend. We miss you, brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His intellect, experience and passion for guns, politics and freedom will forever be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be able to call him a friend. We miss you, brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is a press release from Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF-USA) is committed to offering a diverse product line to fulfill the needs of the growing firearms industry. The Renegade Plus<\/a> is built on the POF-USA Gen 4 billet lower receiver which has completely ambidextrous features. The barrel is 16.5\u201d long; nitride heat treated, has a heat sink barrel nut, our patented E\u00b2 extraction technology and is topped off with our Triple Port Muzzle Brake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"POF-USA,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We use the Dictator 9 position adjustable gas block with straight gas tube to drive this rifle. The brain of the Renegade Plus is the POF-USA Ultimate Bolt Carrier Group which is NP3 coated, features an integrated key (no gas key screws required) and has the POF-USA Roller Cam Pin upgrade installed from the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Plus model utilizes our newly released FLAT trigger which is a 3.5lbs match grade, single stage drop-in trigger system complete with KNS Precision<\/a> anti-walk pins.

POF-USA is excited to announce that we have partnered with Mission First Tactical<\/a> for the furniture on this new rifle. The stock is the Mission First Tactical BMS- Battlelink Minimalist stock<\/a> which significantly helped us obtain our goal of making this rifle less than 6.5lbs. The grip and 30 round magazine are also 100% American made by Mission First Tactical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm pistol will be shipping in Q1 of 2022 with an MSRP of $1,699.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 28, 2015, Personal Defense World reported:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is a press release from Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF-USA) is committed to offering a diverse product line to fulfill the needs of the growing firearms industry. The Renegade Plus<\/a> is built on the POF-USA Gen 4 billet lower receiver which has completely ambidextrous features. The barrel is 16.5\u201d long; nitride heat treated, has a heat sink barrel nut, our patented E\u00b2 extraction technology and is topped off with our Triple Port Muzzle Brake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"POF-USA,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We use the Dictator 9 position adjustable gas block with straight gas tube to drive this rifle. The brain of the Renegade Plus is the POF-USA Ultimate Bolt Carrier Group which is NP3 coated, features an integrated key (no gas key screws required) and has the POF-USA Roller Cam Pin upgrade installed from the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Plus model utilizes our newly released FLAT trigger which is a 3.5lbs match grade, single stage drop-in trigger system complete with KNS Precision<\/a> anti-walk pins.

POF-USA is excited to announce that we have partnered with Mission First Tactical<\/a> for the furniture on this new rifle.

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil.

The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement.

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be more proud to finish it.\u201d says Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales & Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements.

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Cerakote finishes bump POF variants up to eight different color options. The new olive drab finish gives that old school military feel. But this is a high-end production, all POF in the firepower department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOD green has been a long-requested cerakote color option and we are happy to offer it as a new option to our customer base\u201d stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. \u201cThe feedback on the new color (olive drab green) has been very positive and we have had to adjust our build plan to accommodate for the demand\u201d continued Selting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge retails for $1,799.

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster.

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge retails for $1,799.

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge retails for $1,799.

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you are an enthusiast, plinker, home defense<\/a>-minded, or professional, high capacity is where it\u2019s at. Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.

    Roughly eight years ago, POF-USA<\/a> introduced the Renegade Plus AR-15<\/a> platform (below). The latest iteration of the Renegade Plus platform offers a more compact profile than the original with its 13.75-inch barrel. However, the addition of Dead Air Silencers\u2019 KeyMo muzzle brake brings the total barrel length to a legal 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF-USA Black Label Exclusive Renegade Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building on the company\u2019s Gen4 ambidextrous lower receiver and aftermarket furniture, the Renegade Plus provides enhanced ergonomics. Specifically, B5 Systems provide the Type 23 P-Grip and Bravo adjustable stock paired with an anti-tilt buffer tube. As a result, the rifle<\/a> promotes optimal handling and reduced fatigue during extended courses of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receivers feature a meticulously cerakoted olive drab finish for long-lasting durability. The M-LOK compatible rail features M-LOK slots along the side and a full-length Picatinny rail on top. So, users can customize their Renegade with the optics<\/a> and accessories<\/a> that best suit their operational requirements. However, the rail comes with Magpul<\/a> MBUS front and rear sights already installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Housed within the rail is the 13.75-inch nitride heat treated, 4150 chrome vanadium barrel chambered in 5.56<\/a>. The 1:8 rifled barrel features advanced barrel technology and a precision-machined receiver providing \u201cguaranteed\u201d sub-MOA performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the barrel is fitted with Dead Air Silencers\u2019<\/a> KeyMo muzzle brake to help mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise. Not to mention, the muzzle brake brings the 13.75-inch barrel to a legal overall length of 16.1 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Utilizing POF-USA\u2019s Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, the Renegade Plus provides reliable and consistent performance in various conditions. Likewise, the system helps reduce recoil and extend longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"We are thrilled to introduce the latest Renegade+ rifle, exclusively available through our authorized Black Label Dealers,\" said Jeremy Selting, VP of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. \"This exceptional rifle represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearms technology, providing shooters with an unparalleled shooting experience,\" Selting continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Black Label exclusive POF-USA Renegade Plus is available now with MSRP of $2,100.00. For more info, please visit POF-USA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now here's an update likely to really hit home with military-inspired gun enthusiasts. Or really just anyone that appreciates an awesome looking blaster. Patriot Ordnance Factory just added an OD Green Cerakote option to three different lines. The POF Rouge, P415 and Renegade jump to the front of the line for the new offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Debuts as Lightest .308 Rifle & Pistol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/RMOxHPQ4090\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Factory recently announced the release of its newest .308 rifle and pistol, the Rouge. Dubbed the \"Evolution of the Revolution,\" the POF Rogue builds on the phenomenal success of the Revolution<\/a> line of .308s. Boasting the size of an AR-15, the resulting Rogue .308 rifle weighs less than six pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[in_content post=\"208034\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\n\n

    POF Rogue Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Rouge comes either as a full-size carbine utilizing a 16.5-inch barrel, or in pistol form with a 12.5-inch barrel. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights come in nearly a full pound lighter than the previous Revolution DI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"These extreme weight savings were accomplished without needless lightening cuts commonly seen as weight saving measures\" says POF founder Frank DeSomma, \"and by using forged receivers, we've also cut the price significantly compared to our Revolution models.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Rogue boats some extremely useful features and innovations commonly seen from POF. These include many parts interchangeable with the AR-15 platform, including buffer, bolt carrier, charging handle and barrel nut. The Rogue features an ambidextrous QD endplate, ambidextrous selector, Renegade handguard and heat sink barrel nut, and match grade stainless steel barrel with a single-port Micro-B muzzle brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One afternoon in 2015, I found myself at Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> visiting with Frank DeSomma. While there we talked about various projects he was working on. In the middle of the conversation, he stopped, grinned at me and said, \u201cCome here, I want to show you something.\u201d It turned out to be the Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For the few on Earth that are not familiar with Frank, he was at his core an innovator. With this as the base, I was curious to see what was in the back of the vault. He turned and handed me a rough but functional prototype for a 9mm<\/a> subgun. The gun was dubbed the PSG and was a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Well, many times projects like these get mothballed because of other projects, and that was the case with the PSG. That is until now. POF-USA has now completed work on this compact subgun and brought Frank\u2019s vision to life. The result of the effort is the new POF Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meet The Phoenix<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix is a 9mm subgun pistol<\/a> that is pure POF. The Phoenix is a direct blowback gun, which eliminates the need for any buffer tube system. It has a monolithic upper that makes mounting optics and any other kit much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The upper has a forward-mounted side charging handle and a vertical Picatinny rail at the rear to host a brace or stock should you choose. POF looked at fine details and included an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts on the upper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The charging handle can be moved to the left or right side and folds down flat against the upper. It also hosts a new 9mm 1\/2x28-threaded, dual-port compensator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its billet lower receiver features fully ambidextrous controls including safety, bolt release and mag release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"It<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The gun is small at only 17.5 inches in length and weighs a paltry 4.6 pounds. The magazine for the Phoenix is a proprietary 35-round magazine. This decision was made to accommodate the AR-style mag release. Because of that, POF went to the drawing board and made their own mag. POF tells me that 10- and 20-round mags will be available for the gun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the gun has been in the works for some time, POF really turned their attention to it over the last year or so and it is a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market. He worked tirelessly on this design over the years, and the team couldn\u2019t be prouder to finish it,\u201d said Jeremy Selting, VP of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First Impressions of the Phoenix Subgun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    I was fortunate to get a Phoenix in for testing. First impressions were good. Having had the chance to see and shoot the first version of this gun all those years ago, I appreciated the advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everything fits well with no play or slop. This is typical of POF guns and was what I expected. It has a blank anodized finish, and overall, it is a good-looking gun. This is obviously not a beauty contest, so the real test would be on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The only modification I would make to the gun was the addition of an optic<\/a>. I would be using the EOTech<\/a> HWS XPS3. The HWS XPS3 is the shortest and lightest night-vision-compatible HWS in the EOTech lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powered by a single transverse-mounted CR123 lithium battery, the XPS3 provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights, magnifiers or night-vision<\/a> mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In all honesty, I was tempted to put a suppressor on the gun but chose to run the POF dual chamber muzzle brake originally included on the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ammo for the day was Federal<\/a> 147-grain American Eagle, Hornady<\/a> 115-grain FTX Critical Defense and Blazed brass 115-grain FMJ. I wanted to run a variety to see how the gun performed with different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The first rounds showed the trigger to be acceptable but still a little firm. It is my opinion that POF knows most people will change the trigger on their guns. The mil-spec trigger included will serve those that stick with what the gun comes with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the eighth round, I had a failure to feed, which prompted a magazine inspection. The rounds had nosed down a bit but a quick shake and tap and they were back in line. As the magazine had more rounds run through it, the hiccup disappeared. My guess is that the mag had burs inside and the in and out of rounds rubbed them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I have always had a challenge running guns that identify as a pistol but are really a rifle without a stock. That being said, the gun was extremely easy to run, and there was only minimal recoil. POF has done a good job at balancing the mass of the bolt so that it cycles but doesn\u2019t slam the gun all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brake did a good job at managing the muzzle, and even with the two-hands extended shooting position, I found it to be accurate. The dual chamber design had a good balance between control and sound. Most brakes are punishing to those shooting beside you. But the design mixed with it being 9mm was a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At pace, I could easily shoot a 2-inch group at 15 yards. With a stock or brace on this gun, it would obviously perform better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix Subgun\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When I shared with a couple of friends the fact that I had this gun coming in, they asked, \u201cWhat role does it fill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s a good question because it sits a bit in the middle between handgun<\/a> and rifle<\/a>. This, however, is not a barren area. In fact, this zone is populated with most of the subguns of the world. The one that sticks out the most is the H&K MP5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In my mind, the compact nature of this 9mm gun makes it perfect for covert carry or close-quarter applications. Along with the standard fare of \u201cstand and shoot\u201d testing, I ran close contact drills and immediately included movement. This is a solid personal-defense<\/a> weapon and was effective on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The light weight of the gun and very minimal recoil made it fast. I was able to quickly engage two, three and four targets at pace. While it is obviously a semi-auto gun, it once again reminded me of H&K\u2019s little briefcase gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\u2019s She Ride?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With this application in mind, I ran the Phoenix as I would a PDW inside a vehicle. I have taken many a ride with everything from carbines to belt-fed weapons and each of them occupied noticeable space. This is where this compact fighter shined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First off, it is easy to store in a vehicle. I can store it next to my legs or in most interior compartments. Once deployed, it was very easy to maneuver, and its minimal recoil allowed me to shoot from a variety of awkward positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also rolled out of my vehicle with the gun to move on targets I had staged on the range. Having spent time running carbines in this application, I can tell you the Phoenix is much easier to get into the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I continued this theme once I was home. With everyone gone and weapon cleared and safe, I began a walk-through. The small lightweight gun was a breeze to maneuver in my less-than-mansion-sized house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is beyond critical for any weapon you choose to use for home defense<\/a>. It must be big enough to be easy to shoot, yet not so big that you bump into everything as you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Fitting Tribute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The POF Phoenix is a fitting tribute to Frank\u2019s original design. I enjoyed running it and found it a solid fighting gun. If pushed to offer my mods for the gun, they would be few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a person fanatical about close-quarter shooting, I would add a brace or stock and suppress<\/a> it. Yes, the can would add to the overall length. But it would still be small enough to be agile in close quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would also add a light because you must know what you are shooting at before you press the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, I give the gun high marks and am glad to see the project completed. If you\u2019re looking for an enjoyable subgun that\u2019s an effective personal-defense weapon, take a close look at the POF Phoenix 9mm Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It has been a little over two years since Frank DeSomma died in an auto accident. In TL<\/em>\u2019s humble opinion, Frank was one of the greatest\u2014and most entertaining\u2014advocates for freedom and our Second Amendment<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    His intellect, experience and passion for guns, politics and freedom will forever be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be able to call him a friend. We miss you, brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention the ability to set your rig up to meet your personal specifications. With this in mind, Patriot Ordnance Factory<\/a> releases its new 9mm subgun<\/a>, the Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Patriot Ordnance Phoenix 9mm Pistol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both the upper and lower receiver of the Phoenix are constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum. The monolithic upper receiver features M-LOK compatibility on both sides while a full-length Picatinny rail runs the top. As a result, you can add any combination of optics<\/a>, lights<\/a>, and other accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, is an adjustable hand stop and integrated QD sling mounts. Also integrated into the upper receiver is an ambidextrous forward charging handle, for right- and left-handed shooters. Chambered in 9mm<\/a> the 8.5-inch barrel is threaded for use with the included muzzle brake or optional suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lower receiver is also completely ambidextrous with familiar AR-15<\/a> controls located on each side. In addition to AR-15 controls, the Phoenix is compatible with AR-15 Mil-Spec triggers, grips, and selectors. At the rear of the receiver is a three-slot Picatinny rail for the addition of a brace, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Phoenix includes a proprietary 35 round magazine for extended shooting between reloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased with the final result and couldn\u2019t be happier to bring another one of Frank DeSomma\u2019s visions to the market.
