PTR 408 9R *CA Compliant 9mm Luger 10+1 (2) 16" Heat Treated Carbine Barrel, Mil-Spec Anodized Aluminum M-Lok Handguard, Fixed Polymer Stock w/Sling Attachment
The PTR 408 9R is a California-compliant 9mm Luger carbine built for shooters who need a modern, practical rifle in a restricted-state configuration. If you're in CA and want a semi-automatic carbine that handles like a rifle and hits harder than a pistol, this platform delivers the ergonomics and modularity of modern tactical design without breaking state law. PTR Industries engineered this 9mm carbine with a 16-inch heat-treated barrel paired to a mil-spec anodized aluminum M-Lok handguard, giving you a rock-solid platform that's light enough for one-handed transitions and rigid enough for consistent accuracy.
The fixed polymer stock keeps things straightforward—no adjustability means CA compliance, and the integrated sling attachment point makes it easy to stay mobile whether you're at the range, in a defensive scenario, or working through a training course. The M-Lok handguard gives you clean, modern accessory mounting without the rails eating up your real estate, and the mil-spec anodize finish means this rifle is built to stay looking and running right through hard use.
You get two 10-round magazines with this carbine, so you can keep shooting or set one up while the other feeds the gun. The 9mm Luger chambering keeps ammunition affordable and available, and the 16-inch barrel gives you the velocity and sight radius you need for accurate shooting beyond close quarters. This is a carbine that respects California's regulations without compromising on the fundamentals: reliable operation, clean ergonomics, and enough modularity to grow with your needs.
