The standard 9CT normally ships with a more modern M-LOK foregrip, two ETS plastic magazines, and a welded top optics rail. Many customers were not a fan of this new modern configuration and instead wanted something that looked closer to the classic roller delayed design we all know and love from our favorite movies and games. That is why the new 9CT will come with a classic forend, all-metal 20-round magazines, and original claw mount optics mounting solution.
