Shadow Systems E526 Pistol SS-6018 5.56 NATO 11.5" 30+1 Semi-Auto FDE/Black M-LOK

The Shadow Systems E526 SS-6018 is a compact 5.56 NATO semi-automatic pistol with an 11.5-inch chrome-lined barrel, designed as a lightweight platform for maneuverable performance. It uses a direct impingement, carbine-length gas system and is built around a hybrid-profile, spiral-fluted 4150 CMV steel barrel. This FDE pistol configuration includes black components, a free-float M-LOK handguard, and a Maelstrom flash hider at the threaded muzzle that is compatible with Plan B suppressor mounts. The platform weighs approximately 5.4 pounds, features ambidextrous controls including an ambidextrous safety selector and bolt release, and is equipped with a two-stage duty trigger optimized for predictable, refined breaking characteristics. The receivers top includes Picatinny rail space and the pistol is shipped without factory sights, allowing users to select preferred optics or sights. It is designed to accept 30-round STANAG-pattern magazines and uses a 1:7 twist rate to stabilize a wide range of 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington loads.
