Known chiefly for its extensive line of hunting shotguns, Radikal Arms is but the latest of the Turkish-based companies to debut on the field of handguns with its RPX9 striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol. After its global debut at the 2024 edition of SHOT Show, the Radikal RPX9 was launched on the European market at IWA 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany.

Built around a polymer frame, with a steel slide that is machined to readily accept micro red dot sights, the Radikal RPX9 is chambered for 9mm Luger ammunition and feeds through Glock 19 magazines. It indeed heavily borrows from the Glock technical layout, so much so that it is readily compatible with numerous Glock parts and accessories, fully fitting the description of a "Glock-compatible" pistol – a category that has been enjoying broad popularity, lately.

What makes the Radikal RPX9 stand out when it would otherwise be fairly unremarkable on today's market, is that Radikal Arms makes it available in essentially all colors, as well as with several compensated slide options, making it possible for bulk distributors to obtain unique variants for different markets. The Radikal RPX9 is 18,5 cm / 7.3" long overall, features a 10,21 cm / 4,02" barrel and weighs in at 601 grams (21.2 oz) when empty.
