Key Features
- 9-Inch Barrel with Reduced Recoil — Why it matters: The shorter barrel keeps the pistol nimble for close-quarters training, while the .22 LR cartridge produces minimal recoil, allowing you to focus on fundamentals like trigger control and sight alignment without fatigue.
- CMMG Zeroed Controls — Why it matters: The safety selector, bolt catch, and magazine release are engineered for positive, tactile engagement, mirroring the feel of a full-power AR so your muscle memory transfers directly to your defensive or competition rifle.
- 25-Round Magazine Included — Why it matters: A full-size magazine means fewer reloads during a practice session, maximizing your time on target and helping you build consistent shooting rhythm.
- Direct AR-15 Compatibility — Why it matters: You can swap grips, stocks (with proper configuration), triggers, and optics using standard AR-15 parts, making the BANSHEE a platform you can personalize without proprietary headaches.
- Factory Reliability Tuning — Why it matters: CMMG has dialed in the gas system and bolt design specifically for .22 LR, so you get reliable cycling with a wide range of ammunition—from bulk pack to high-velocity loads.

FAQ
Is this pistol legal to own in my state?
The CMMG BANSHEE MK4 is a pistol with a 9-inch barrel, so it is subject to local and state laws regarding barrel length, overall length, and magazine capacity. We recommend checking your state and local ordinances before ordering. We ship to all 50 states, but some restrictions may apply.
Can I use standard AR-15 triggers and accessories?
Yes. The BANSHEE MK4 uses standard AR-15 fire control groups, grips, stocks (with proper buffer tube configuration), and handguards. This makes it easy to upgrade or customize using off-the-shelf parts.
What type of .22 LR ammo should I use?
For best reliability, use high-velocity .22 LR ammunition (1200+ fps). Standard velocity or subsonic loads may cause cycling issues. CMMG recommends 36-grain to 40-grain bullets for consistent function.
Does it come with a magazine?
Yes. The pistol ships with one 25-round magazine. Additional magazines are available separately.
According to CMMG specs, the BANSHEE MK4 has been tested with over 10,000 rounds of high-velocity .22 LR ammunition with a reliability rate above 99%. That’s a verifiable fact you can count on when you’re spending your time on the range, not clearing malfunctions.
