In this Range Report I examine and shoot the Banshee built by CMMG. This is a PCC I have been wanting to try out due to the operating mechanism they designed for it. This “radial delayed” blowback is supposed to provide a lighter recoil than standard AR9s and not use extra heavy buffers. This is a pistol I am excited to try and I want to thank my local subscriber Mark for lending this to the channel for review.

B&T also makes a specialized buffer with a hydraulic end on it to mitigate recoil in AR-15 and AR9 for $200.
The ATF did a raid in Texas today in Houston on a bunch of Glocks that were full auto but they keep on trying to hide the fact that the the pistols mods from Mexico. please tweet it out or tell somebody.
Trying to make it sound like everybody in Texas is making full auto 3-D printed guns out of control when that’s not the truth.
Love mine. I actually own 3 of them!
Another thing I've noticed with mine is that these are very finicky with PMAGs. I bought a ton of PMAG 27s because you can usually get two for the price of one 33 round OEM Glock mag, but I was noticing feed issues with the PMAGS…it turns out the bolt face was shearing off the polymer when it dropped. I emailed CMMG about it and their response was "yeah, some of 'em do that." I also added a linear comp to mine – not because it needed one, but because I really wanted some kind of slight barrel-lengthening device so my hand wasn't so close to the muzzle…of course, Form 1-ing the damned thing and now having a foregrip on it solved that issue definitively.
Jason I think you would love my MPX with the Timmy trigger. It fixes both the trigger complaint and it takes double stack mags made by lancer.
Another reviewer of a PCC I've seen recently also had similar thoughts on glock mags. I've tried a couple PCC and settled on the CZ Scorpian over the Banshee more for cost. While I want a Banshee i don't feel it's a 1500 gun especially if I have to swap the trigger out.
Glad to hear somebody else's a preference for double feed magazines over Glock magazines.
I’m just over here trying to figure out if I like the gun or your shirt more.

I’m so with you on the Glock mag pcc issue. I wouldn’t buy a pcc if it used Glock mags either for all the reasons you stated. That Colt is amazing! Do you use it much?
I've been wanting one , but I wanted the one that accepts SIG p320 mags cause I've got SIG p320's.
I like the glock mag due to the 2 glock handguns and the PCC FX-9 carbine that I carry and use… 1 type that fits all 3 guns means less hassle in interchangeability
Smart people want the Banshee, Glock mag version, so they can use the same mags in the side arm they are carrying.
CMMG should really just change their name to… JTMM (Just take my money). Quality, dependability, and desirability.
Well, I think the Glock mag, both 24rd and 33rd, looks very nice and functions very well with my 5" Banshee. And that is why I purchase the Glock version over the Sig version. (I love my Sig, I don't own any Glock pistol and will not buy any.) Over a thousand rounds now with no problem at all with the Glock mags. In my humble opinion, Banshee and Glock mag is a match made in heaven.
Solid review. This may have already been said. CMMG does offer the same Banshee pistol that takes Colt mags. I have one and love it!
Are you going to get the wife one in pink?
Give me a Banshee with CZ Scorpion Evo 3 mags and I would be the happiest man
I got the rifle version with the 16” barrel. I haven’t shot any other PCCs but I love the way mine shoots.
Part of me would like to SBR it so I could get the 8” barrel, that 5” seems a bit to short to grip with a fill hand well, but I have no reason too besides it looking cool haha
I like the review but how did you come to the conclusion that Colt mags are "more" reliable than Glock mags? Looks are subjective but they are both considered extremely reliable in PCCs so where'd you get that information?
Nice looking little PCC.
Love my banshee ❗️👈great review Jason🔥🔥
Love mine added a 3 lug adaptor and a 1 oz bolt weight ,shooting suppressed a lot less gas coming back than a standard blow back. will add a vertical foregrip when I get my stamp.
CMMG uses Ceracote finishes.
Wait a second as a Glock collector why would you not want the pcc taking same mags as the pistol you have with it
You are in your "wheel house" in this review.👍 Also, I never noticed the interesting brass deflector on the Colt before.
Let me spend $2k on a pcc then bitch about it not taking cheap Glock mags! 🙄
I’d love to hear what you think about PWS guns! I have one I’d be willing to let you borrow and review 👍
I want that colt ar9 for the reason it is a cool gun from when I was a kid and had the fixed carry handle bit as a shooter the cmmg is no hrainer
💥😎4 EHT MHTIROGLA👍🇺🇸
