Overview

The PTR 9CT is the rail-ready full-size MP5-pattern option. PTR fits a factory 4.5-inch steel Picatinny top rail and an aluminum M-LOK handguard, so an optic and common handguard accessories do not depend on a separate claw mount or replacement forend. The pistol remains a semi-automatic roller-delayed blowback design.

Its 8.87-inch barrel exposes both a 1/2x28 thread and a 3-lug interface. The PTR-601 package includes two steel magazines, a case, rear-sight tool, cable lock, and single-point bungee sling. PTR lists the 9CT at 17.6 inches overall and about 5.05 pounds. The shorter 9KT is a distinct PTR-603 configuration and its dimensions do not apply to this entry.
