Description
The Shadow Systems E526 is a semi-automatic 5.56 NATO pistol with an 11.5-inch barrel, threaded 1/2x28, a 1-in-7 twist and a black nitride finish. It has no sights, a 60-90 degree thumb safety, a two-stage duty trigger, a bronze bolt carrier group, a rigid multi-axis handguard and a proprietary furniture system. Capacity is 10+1 rounds with one 10-round magazine, and it has a Picatinny rail receiver and a polymer grip. The maker says the E526 is a compact 5.56mm platform engineered for maneuverability without sacrificing performance. The maker says its barrel length was chosen to preserve meaningful velocity and terminal effectiveness while keeping a compact footprint.
