James Reeves spotted this interesting 9mm bufferless PCC upper at TriggerCon 2023 and just had to stop by to see what it was. The Matador Arms 9mm PCC upper is a bufferless design that’s compatible with a wide variety of 9mm lowers, is completely made in the USA and retails for under $600. The MAT-9 bufferless upper combines the space savings of the bufferless design with an affordable price point to give you a flexible blue-collar pistol caliber carbine option.

Compared to the Montgo-9, MAT-9 has a longer barrel (7.825” vs 5.5″) and forearm yet at an overall weight of 3 lbs, it’s lighter than the Montgo-9 by about 3 oz.
