Also known as: Sharps Bros Jack9, Jack 9
Overview
The Angstadt Arms Jack9 is an American blowback-operated, semi-automatic 9x19mm pistol built on the AR-15 platform and fed from standard GLOCK-pattern magazines. It pairs Angstadt Arms' proven 0940 GLOCK-magazine lower receiver architecture with the distinctive 'Jack' billet lower designed by Sharps Bros., whose CNC-machined skull motif turns the magazine well into the skull's toothed mouth. The pistol ships with a 6-inch barrel, 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers with Type III hardcoat anodizing, a Magpul MOE-K2 grip, and a Shockwave stabilizing brace.

Background
Angstadt Arms, founded by competitive shooter Rich Angstadt and based in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializes in purpose-built AR-platform pistol-caliber carbines and pistols that feed from inexpensive, ubiquitous GLOCK magazines. The Jack9 married that practical platform to the skull-shaped 'Jack' lower that Sharps Bros. had made famous on full-size ARs.
