Also known as: Vanquish 9, Vanquish Integrally Suppressed 9mm, Vanquish
Overview
The Angstadt Arms Vanquish is an integrally suppressed 9x19mm AR-9 built around the company's GLOCK-magazine billet platform. Its headline feature is a patented integral suppressor with a baffle-less design that vents gases downrange, keeping 115-grain ammunition subsonic, reducing heat and minimizing gas blowback toward the shooter. The 10.5-inch barrel-and-suppressor assembly gives the pistol a 26.5-inch collapsed and 29.5-inch extended overall length and a weight around 6.4 pounds. It uses the straight blowback AR-9 action with GLOCK double-stack magazines, last-round bolt hold open, and an Angstadt Arms EMT-9 PCC trigger finished in Nickel Teflon. The Vanquish ships with two 17-round OEM GLOCK magazines and is offered in black anodize and Flat Dark Earth Cerakote across pistol, SBR and rifle configurations.
