FM PRODUCTS

This VFM-9 5" PCC Pistol combo standard with a RMB (Recoil Mitigation Buffer).  A great option for users 

because the VFM-9 Upper is a "Short Stroke" style, offering consumers the best results for recoil mitigation

and reliability in a compact, efficient package at an amazing price.

At the core of the RMB is a finely tuned reciprocating mass that eliminates bolt bounce — a long-standing issue in traditional blowback-operated PCCs. Combined with a sliding buffer body, a dampening spring, and a durable urethane impact modifier, the RMB system delivers a soft, controlled recoil impulse that users will feel immediately — and high-speed video testing the RMB with our VFM-9 5" confirms it: 100% elimination of bolt bounce.

* no +P or +p+ used for testing 

“Recoil Mitigation = Accuracy & Reliability.”  

This is the guiding principle behind the RMB and the legacy Foxtrot Mike Products has built over nearly a decade of pushing the envelope. From proprietary in-house designs to widely respected white label OEM manufacturing, Foxtrot Mike Products has a rich history of developing reliable, economical, and feature-rich solutions for firearm enthusiasts and industry partners alike.

In collaboration with industry experts and insights from Doug P. of Blowback9.com, a leading authority on blowback dynamics, the RMB was rigorously blind-tested — and the results speak volumes:

• 100% of users reported noticeable recoil reduction compared to standard heavy buffers

• Improved shot groupings during rapid fire

• Complete bolt bounce elimination verified by high-speed video 

FM performed extensive reliability and bolt bounce testing using a 5" VFM-9 Upper Receiver, longer barrels may perform differently.  The best recoil mitigation is achieved with a shorter barrel, no +P or +P+ ammo was used during testing.  There are many variables in a PCC build, individual results may vary depending on users set up.  

Foxtrot Mike Products has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, reliable, and feature-rich

products, supported by outstanding customer service. Recognizing the challenges faced by

hardworking blue-collar consumers with reduced discretionary income, Foxtrot Mike has introduced

the VFM-9, a new line of 9mm Upper Receivers that combines the same superior quality, durability,

and innovation customers expect, at a more accessible price point.

The VFM-9 is the clear choice for consumers seeking exceptional value without compromising
performance. By eliminating the complex barrel nut and implementing a thermal fit between the
barrel and the upper, Foxtrot Mike has reduced manufacturing costs while maintaining their
commitment to excellence. The VFM-9 features a robust 4140 steel barrel, offering impressive
accuracy and a service life exceeding 10,000 rounds. While slightly different from the premium 41V50
steel used in the flagship Mike-9, the 4140 steel still delivers outstanding performance for a PCC build.
Additionally, if a consumer ever shoots out their barrel, Foxtrot Mike offers a replacement for just
$99, further reinforcing their dedication to customer satisfaction.

The VFM-9 comes with a 5.2" barrel with a 1/2-28 thread and benefits from streamlined assembly
processes, including a reduction in handguard screws from eight to two, resulting in greater
production efficiency and cost savings—savings that are passed directly to the consumer. While some
parts of the VFM-9 are proprietary (with the bolt and muzzle device being interchangeable), this
upper is backed by Foxtrot Mike’s renowned lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind for every
purchase.
For those who still desire the premium materials and modular design of the flagship Mike-9, Foxtrot
Mike continues to offer this product line alongside the new VFM-9. However, for value-conscious
buyers, the VFM-9 stands out as an unbeatable option, delivering top-tier performance, precision, and
reliability at a fraction of the cost of competing products.
The VFM-9 is offered in two versions, one with a Forward Charging Handle (all metal charging
handle and trolley) as well as a Front and Rear Charging version, a great option for people with training on
an AR-style manual of arms.
Available through Primary Arms and the Foxtrot Mike web store, the VFM-9 represents a smart
investment for anyone looking to build or enhance their PCC without breaking the bank. Foxtrot
Mike’s proven reputation for quality and customer service makes the VFM-9 the obvious choice in
today’s market.

The VFM-9 Ambi 5” Pistol is built from the ground up to provide outstanding reliability and accuracy with a host of
top-tier features. The monolithic style has been achieved with a proprietary interlock between the upper and
handguard. The slim-line handguard is M-LOK compatible with your favorite accessories.

This pistol is fully ambidextrous, featuring an ambi safety, bolt catch, and magazine catch.

The Mike-9 Ambi 5" Pistol boasts a patented bolt hold-open mechanism, which is not based on bent sheet
metal. This design provides a reliable and durable solution to the common problem of bolt hold-open
failure.

The VFM-9 Ambi 5” Pistol uses a reliable and easy-to-maintain direct blow-back operating system, all packaged in a
monolithic style billet upper receiver. Designed with several patented features, the VFM-9 is one of the most
innovative, high-quality, feature-rich Glock Style 9mm ARs on the market.
