About this product
The CMMG Dissent MkG Braced Pistol .45 ACP 6.50 in is a compact, bufferless firearm platform engineered for superior handling and PDW-style utility with advanced radial delayed blowback operation. Built on 7075-T6 aluminum receivers and featuring a proprietary linear compensator, it delivers .45 ACP performance in a braced package ideal for close-quarters scenarios.
What is the CMMG Dissent MkG Braced Pistol used for?
This pistol is designed for close-quarters defense, range training, and suppressor-ready applications requiring compact size and reliable .45 ACP ballistics. With its 15.70-inch overall length and 4.90-pound weight, it excels in confined spaces where maneuverability matters, and the radial delayed blowback system reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% compared to direct blowback designs.
How does the CMMG Dissent MkG compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Dissent MkG outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in compactness and rapid engagement scenarios, but sacrifices long-range accuracy and power. While the Stevens 334 offers .308 Win caliber with a 20-inch barrel for precision at 300+ yards, the Dissent MkG’s 6.50-inch barrel and 13+1 capacity prioritize portability and fast target acquisition within 50 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The pistol weighs 4.90 pounds (2223 grams) with an overall length of 15.70 inches and barrel length of 6.50 inches. Its compact frame measures 9.20 inches in height with the brace extended, making it 40% shorter than most carbine-length firearms like the Stevens 555 Sporting Shotgun, which spans 46 inches.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not suitable for hunters or long-range shooters needing extended ballistics or high-capacity magazines. The .45 ACP round drops significantly beyond 75 yards, and the 13-round limit falls short compared to rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO, which typically hold 30 rounds.
What's in the box?
Included are the Dissent MkG pistol, one Glock-compatible 13-round magazine, a CMMG ZEROED linear compensator pre-installed, and a user manual. The package lacks a cleaning kit or additional accessories, requiring separate purchases for maintenance.
Is the CMMG Dissent MkG worth it at $2089.99?
At $2089.99, it justifies its cost for users prioritizing NFA-compliance readiness and compact reliability, but budget-conscious shooters might prefer alternatives. The radial delayed blowback system and Cerakote finish add $400-$600 in value over direct blowback pistols, though the price exceeds many entry-level firearms by over 50%.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock magazines?
- Yes, it uses standard Glock .45 ACP magazines, specifically the 13-round model G21. Ensure magazines are Gen 4 or later for optimal fit, as older generations may require slight modification.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol case?
- No, its 15.70-inch length requires a compact rifle case or larger pistol bag, such as those measuring at least 18 inches internally. Most standard pistol cases max out at 12 inches.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days for in-stock items via FedEx or UPS, but FFL transfers add 1-2 days for background checks. Delays may occur during high-demand periods.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items, but firearms require a 15% restocking fee and original packaging. Consult Ironclad Armory’s policy page for FFL transfer specifics.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 0.578 x 28 muzzle thread accepts most .45-caliber suppressors, such as SilencerCo Octane 45, but ensure compatibility with radial delayed blowback systems to avoid pressure issues.
