A Word from Maxim Defense on their SDX RFLX

A next-generation suppressed platform engineered from the inside out, the SDX RFLX Series is built as a complete integrally suppressed system—not just a rifle with a can. Each RFLX model combines our SDX rifle architecture with the over-the-barrel M-Kore™ reflex suppressor, creating a seamless, tuned solution that delivers exceptional sound reduction, smooth cycling, and remarkable balance. Designed to minimize blowback and reduce system wear, the SDX RFLX is more than quiet—it’s refined. From pistol to SBR, each variant is precisely optimized for its configuration, resulting in suppressed performance that’s cleaner, quieter, and more compact than anything else in its class.
