Strike Industries turned heads at SHOT 2026 with a trio of game-changers that scream innovation in the pistol caliber carbine (PCC) and modular firearms space: a sleek new 9mm PCC prototype, the market-ready SMC chassis for the FN P90, and versatile Polymer FSA stocks. The 9mm PCC stands out as a lightweight, high-capacity beast optimized for home defense and range domination—think blowback reliability meets modern ergonomics, potentially undercutting pricier competitors like the CZ Scorpion or Ruger PC Carbine on price while delivering SI’s signature modularity. In a market flooded with AR-9 clones, this prototype hints at Strike’s push toward a more pistol-like handling profile with bufferless designs or integrated suppressors, making it a 2A dream for SBR enthusiasts dodging NFA headaches via pistol braces.

The SMC chassis for the P90, evolving from last year’s tease into a near-shipping reality, is pure bullpup brilliance—transforming the iconic FN into a customizable platform with M-LOK rails, adjustable stocks, and QD mounts that finally make the P90 viable for civilian upgrades without Frankenstein mods. Paired with the new Polymer FSA stocks, which promise drop-in compatibility for AR platforms with folding mechanisms and cheek riser options at a fraction of carbon fiber costs, Strike is democratizing high-end features. For the 2A community, this lineup signals a bullish trend: affordable polymer tech lowering barriers to entry, bolstering defensive carbine adoption amid rising urban threats, and fueling the endless quest for lighter, handier firepower that skirts regulatory pitfalls.

Implications? Strike’s moves could spark a PCC renaissance, pressuring legacy makers to innovate or get left in the dust, while empowering builders with chassis systems that turn oddball platforms like the P90 into everyday carriers. As ammo prices stabilize and 9mm supremacy reigns, expect these to fly off shelves—grab ’em early, because in the ever-evolving 2A arms race, Strike Industries just reloaded with winners.
