UNIT9 Compact Pistol – Non‑Lethal Training Pistol with True‑to‑Life Performance
The UNIT9 Compact Pistol is the first non‑lethal training pistol built to match the durability, realism, and reliability of a live handgun while remaining safe to use in any environment.
Manufactured using the same materials and processes as a duty‑grade pistol, it delivers true‑to‑life fit, form, and function with an accurate 15‑round magazine capacity and realistic slide lock on empty. It fires the same 8mm non‑lethal rounds used in the UNIT4 Training Rifle, creating a unified training ecosystem.
Key Features
360‑degree stippled grip for secure, consistent handling
Red‑dot ready with a native Trijicon RMR footprint and included plates for DeltaPoint Pro and Aimpoint Acro
Trigger weight and break closely matched to a live‑fire counterpart for realistic reps
Properly weighted slide for authentic cycling, recoil feel, and battery of arms
Holster compatible with Safariland Incog‑X and other common duty holsters
Engineered for high‑fidelity training, the UNIT9 Compact Pistol delivers the most complete standard feature set of any non‑lethal training pistol on the market—making it an ideal platform for building safe, repeatable, and realistic handgun skills.
UNIT4 – Realistic AR15-Style Training Rifle for Safe, Flexible Practice
The UNIT4 v1 Series delivers true 1:1 size, weight, and handling in a non‑lethal AR‑style platform designed for safe, flexible training in any environment. Its aircraft‑grade aluminium receivers, free‑float barrel design, and uninterrupted Mil‑Spec 1913 upper rail create a stable, durable foundation for realistic, repeatable reps. M‑LOK attachment points along the handguard and integrated QD sling mounts on both sides support full modularity and fast configuration changes.
The v1 Series pairs a heavy‑duty outer barrel with a smooth‑bore inner barrel for consistent performance and a dependable baseline for customization. Outfitted with a rugged M‑LOK handguard and Magpul furniture, the v1 is ready to configure into a wide range of setups, making it easy to match specific training needs or replicate a preferred rifle configuration
Train indoors or out — the UNIT4 is ideal for skill development, scenario-based training, or introducing new shooters without the risks of live fire.
Purpose-Built for Realistic Training
The UNIT4 is specifically designed for realistic, hands-on firearms training in non-range environments.
Train Where You Live
Use it in your home, garage, garden, or training space. Perfect for dry-fire practice, skill building, or force-on-force drills with your team.
Authentic Feel and Function
The UNIT4 mirrors the weight, dimensions, and controls of a real AR, including recoil. Compatible with standard AR accessories for a true 1:1 training replica.
ATF-Compliant and Non-Lethal
Classified as a non-firearm by the ATF, the UNIT4 cannot chamber live rounds and ships directly to your door — no FFL needed. Use safely with eye protection.
Built to Endure
Upper and lower forged aluminium receivers, US-made steel internals, and tough impact-ready magazines. Backed by a 5-Year Warranty.
