- Glock Magazine Compatibility: Uses ubiquitous and reliable Glock-pattern magazines, including the included 33-round stick, for easy sourcing and high capacity.

Weighing in at approximately 6.5 pounds unloaded, the Resolute 100 strikes a solid balance between stability and maneuverability. The 16.1-inch barrel length is the legal minimum for a rifle, maximizing velocity and sight radius while keeping the overall package manageable for indoor or vehicle use. That said, the real story is in the action—CMMG’s Radial Delayed Blowback system is what separates this from a basic AR-9. It uses a cam path to delay bolt opening, which softens recoil impulse and increases reliability. This system is drop-in ready for most standard AR-15 lowers configured for 9mm, but this complete rifle requires no gunsmithing. You can mount any optic or backup iron sights that fit a Picatinny rail, and the M-LOK system lets you configure lights and foregrips to your exact need. The total price for this capable package is $1114.74.
Who This Rifle Is For
This carbine is for the shooter who needs a versatile tool that bridges the gap between a pistol and a rifle. When it comes to home defense, its rifle platform offers superior control and accuracy over a handgun, especially under stress, while the 9mm chambering reduces over-penetration concerns compared to 5.56mm. It’s ideal for tactical training courses where ammo cost matters—you get rifle handling drills for pistol caliber prices. It’s also a perfect companion for a Glock 17 or 19 owner; you share magazines and ammunition, simplifying your logistics. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The delayed blowback system provides a noticeably smoother shot cycle. Glock magazine compatibility is a huge logistical advantage. The rifle-length barrel gets the most velocity out of 9mm, aiding terminal performance. The M-LOK handguard is modern and highly functional. It’s a complete, reliable system right out of the box.
Cons: As a dedicated 9mm upper on a rifle lower, it’s not a simple conversion for an existing 5.56mm AR. The A2 grip is basic—many shooters will want to upgrade to a more ergonomic option. At over 16 inches, it’s less compact than a pistol-braced firearm, though it requires no NFA paperwork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this rifle work with the Glock magazines I already own?
A: Yes. The CMMG Resolute 100 is designed specifically for Glock-pattern magazines. It will reliably feed from standard Glock 17, 19, and compatible aftermarket magazines, including the included 33-rounder.
Q: Can I attach a suppressor to this carbine?
A: Absolutely. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard thread pitch for many 9mm suppressors. Just ensure your suppressor is rated for 9mm and consult local laws regarding suppressor ownership.
Q: Is this considered an AR-15, and are parts interchangeable?
A: It uses the AR-15 platform’s lower receiver, fire control group, and stock system, but the bolt carrier group and barrel are proprietary to CMMG’s 9mm Radial Delayed Blowback system. Many external parts like triggers, grips, and stocks are standard mil-spec AR-15 components. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
