Century Arms Ap5 9Mm 9 30Rd Sb Tactical Brace$1,624.99
Availability: In Stock
The Century Arms AP5 9mm is a semi-automatic pistol that brings decades of roller-lock design heritage into a modern, accessible platform. Chambered in 9mm Luger and built on a design lineage stretching back to the 1970s, the AP5 combines proven reliability with contemporary ergonomics. The 5.8-inch barrel and SB Tactical brace configuration make it compact enough for close-quarters work while maintaining control and accuracy. Whether you're looking for a modern pistol chambered in common ammunition or exploring alternatives to piston-driven designs, the AP5's roller-lock action offers a different operating principle than what you'll find in most AR-platform pistols.
This particular configuration comes set up for serious use. The 30-round magazine keeps you supplied downrange, and the fixed front sight pairs with a fully adjustable rear sight for flexible zero options. The A2-style muzzle device is already installed, and the synthetic stock delivers durability in the field. At 4.6 lbs, it's light enough to carry but substantial enough to manage recoil and maintain a consistent sight picture. The package includes a cleaning kit, Picatinny rail for mounting accessories, detachable muzzle device, factory sling, and a rugged plastic carry case—everything you need to get started.
The AP5's roller-lock system has earned respect among shooters who understand its mechanics. It's not an AR, and that's intentional: it's a different approach to 9mm pistol design with its own operational advantages. If you've been curious about non-AR 9mm platforms or want a compact, magazine-fed pistol with adjustable sights and room for optics via the Picatinny rail, this is worth your attention.

Yes. The AP5 includes a Picatinny rail, which allows you to mount red dots, magnified optics, or other rail-mounted accessories according to their specifications.
Yes. The AP5 uses a roller-lock action design, which is a different operating principle than the direct-impingement or piston systems found in AR-platform 9mm pistols. It's a proven platform with its own mechanical advantages and characteristics.
