Congratulations on your purchase of a Shooters Arms X9 Pistol. With proper care and

chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge.
Model X9 Pistol Background - Your new X9 pistol, while designed for sporting use, has
as its design inspiration, the famous MAC/Ingram M10 military machine pistols made for
the U.S. military. While your new X9 fires in the semi-automatic mode, it shares the
M10’s attributes of characteristics of being light in weight, durable construction, compact
size and ease of use.
Operational Characteristics:
The X9 pistol is a highly-compact semi-automatic firearm with a detachable box maga-
zine. It is composed of the following major components: barrel, receiver, bolt, frame, fir-
ing mechanism and magazine. Its ease-of-use is complemented by its straight forward
disassembly procedure for cleaning and maintenance. It is equipped with a non-
adjustable rear sight, and a post front sight. Attachment points for sling swivels are locat-
ed on the protective wings of the front and rear sights. The bolt assembly is fitted with a
cocking handle. Its design, while reminiscent of the short, handy firearms used by tank
crews, gun and mortar crews, tactical police applications, etc., also makes it ideal for use
by campers and hunters needing a short, handy pistol for carry in a backpack into the
field, and other users needing a compact firearm.
