Grand Power Stribog SP9A3G 9mm 16″ Black Barrel Flat Dark Earth Receiver

The Grand Power Stribog SP9A3G 9mm 16″ Black Barrel Flat Dark Earth Receiver is a direct-blowback 9mm carbine that splits the difference between a PDW and a range rifle. It runs Glock-pattern magazines out of the box, ships with a Magpul PMAG, and uses a 16-inch threaded barrel with a 1/2×28 thread pitch. The receiver is Flat Dark Earth, the barrel is black, and the stock folds to the right for compact storage. This is the A3 generation with the roller-delayed action—not the straight blowback A1—so recoil impulse is softer and dot tracking is faster. Per manufacturer specs, the overall length is 27.5 inches with the stock extended and 18.5 inches folded. Weight is 5.5 pounds unloaded.

Key features

• Roller-delayed blowback system — Reduces bolt velocity and felt recoil compared to straight blowback 9mm carbines. You get faster follow-up shots and less muzzle rise without needing a heavy buffer.
• Glock magazine compatibility — Uses standard Glock 9mm double-stack magazines. No proprietary mags to hunt down. PMAG ships with the gun.
• 16-inch threaded barrel (1/2×28) — Lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake. The barrel length keeps you legal as a rifle while maintaining enough dwell time for reliable cycling.
• Side-folding polymer stock — Folds to the right, reducing overall length to 18.5 inches for transport. The stock locks solidly when extended and has a cheek weld that works with iron sights.
• Mil-Spec AR trigger and ambidextrous safety — The trigger is a standard AR-15 pattern, so you can swap it for a Geissele or Timney drop-in. The safety is ambi out of the box for left-handed shooters.

Who it’s for

This carbine is for the shooter who wants a 9mm rifle that runs Glock mags, suppresses well, and doesn’t beat you up with blowback recoil. It fits competition shooters in USPSA PCC, home-defense setups where overpenetration is a concern, and anyone who wants a compact truck gun that folds small. If you’ve shot a CZ Scorpion and wanted less recoil and a better trigger path, this is the upgrade.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: Roller-delayed action keeps the bolt closed longer, reducing gas blowback when suppressed.
• Pro: Glock mag compatibility means you can share mags with your pistol.
• Pro: 16-inch barrel gives full velocity from 9mm (around 1250 fps with 124-grain) without needing a stamp.
• Con: The factory trigger is a standard Mil-Spec AR trigger—serviceable but not match-grade. Plan to swap it for a Geissele or Timney if you want a crisp break.

The Stribog costs more than the Ruger PC Carbine but gives you a lighter, roller-delayed action with a folding stock. Compared to the CZ Scorpion, it’s lighter by 1.5 pounds and uses Glock mags instead of proprietary ones. The trigger on the Stribog is swappable with any AR-15 trigger, which the Scorpion is not.

FAQ

Does the Stribog SP9A3G come with a brace or a stock?

It ships with a side-folding polymer stock. If you want a pistol brace, you’d need to buy the pistol version (SP9A3) separately. The 16-inch barrel model is classified as a rifle, so it has a stock.

What magazines are included with the SP9A3G?

One Magpul PMAG 17 GL9 ships in the box. It also accepts all standard Glock 9mm magazines (G17, G19, G26, etc.).

Can I suppress the Stribog SP9A3G?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and the roller-delayed action reduces gas blowback compared to straight blowback designs. You’ll need a 9mm suppressor with a 1/2×28 piston or direct-thread mount.

Is the trigger on the Stribog SP9A3G user-swappable?

Yes. It uses a standard Mil-Spec AR-15 trigger pack. You can drop in any AR-15 trigger from Geissele, Timney, or other manufacturers without modification.

What is the overall length of the Stribog SP9A3G?

Per manufacturer specs, overall length is 27.5 inches with the stock extended and 18.5 inches folded.
