Maxim Defense Industries - High-Performance Firearms & Accessories

The Maxim Defense PDX-SD was featured in RECOIL Magazine, Issue 82, where Features Editor, David Merrill and Editor & Chief, Ian Harrison took an in-depth look at the design philosophy, engineering, and real-world performance of our compact suppressed platform.

Built as a purpose-designed system, the PDX-SD was engineered from the ground up to run suppressed—prioritizing balance, reliability, and sound mitigation without compromise. In this feature, RECOIL explores what sets the platform apart, from its unconventional integral suppressor design to the proprietary components that make it function as a complete system.

This independent coverage offers an objective look at why the PDX-SD exists, who it was built for, and how it performs in its intended role.
