MAC 9 DS Duty

Military Armament Corp. (MAC) introduced an affordable 2011-style pistol in 2024 with its MAC 9 DS. This year, the company expanded its double-stack, M1911-style handgun line with the MAC 9 DS Duty, which features a longer 5" barrel and a Picatinny accessory rail on the full-length dustcover.

The new design fills a gap for enthusiasts looking for a full-size, double-stack handgun that can accommodate a wide range of accessories while also conveying the other benefits of the 2011-style design, notably its 18-round capacity in 9 mm Luger and its M1911-style control layout.

The DS Duty also includes optics compatibility with the Agency Arms AOS plate system, as well as bilateral manual safeties and a detachable magazine well funnel.

MSRP is set at $1,071. For more information, visit milarmamentcorp.com.
