The ESPADA Bullpup from Matador Arms is the only purpose-built 9mm bullpup on the market, engineered from the ground up around our proven MAT-9 roller-delayed upper receiver for unmatched performance in a dedicated PCC platform. Unlike conversions or adaptations of other designs, the ESPADA delivers true bullpup optimization—compact length, superior balance, and intuitive handling—without compromises.This innovative system features the MAT-9’s patented EZTS™ (Easy Take-down System) for tool-free field stripping and maintenance, paired with roller-delayed blowback for smoother cycling, reduced felt recoil, and lighter overall weight compared to direct blowback alternatives. The upper is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a nitrided 4150 steel barrel, ensuring durability and reliability under heavy use.Key features include:

• Colt magazine compatibility — Runs standard Colt-style 9mm stick magazines natively for proven reliability and easy sourcing.
• Last round bolt hold open — Automatically locks the bolt back on an empty magazine, speeding up reloads and enhancing tactical awareness.
• Bufferless design — Removes the traditional buffer tube for a dramatically shorter overall length, perfect for CQB, vehicle use, suppressed setups, or backpack carry, while enabling folding stock configurations.
• Fully ambidextrous controls — Safety selector, magazine release, and non-reciprocating side-charging handle all mirrored for left- or right-handed operation.
• Exceptional trigger — Crisp, clean break that’s among the best in any bullpup, boosting accuracy and rapid follow-up shots.
• Modular rail system — Full-length top Picatinny rail for optics, plus M-LOK compatibility for lights, grips, and other accessories.
• Premium USA-made construction — Nitrided steel bolt and action components for longevity, backed by our lifetime warranty.
• KAK Muzzle break included
