Lucansky Arms Stinger 9: A semiautomatic 9mm PCC with DMT recoil reduction 

The Lucansky Arms Stinger 9 brings to the pistol-caliber firearms market the experience of two designers already familiar to many enthusiasts: Jan Lucansky and Ondrej Podel. The company's founders previously worked with CZ and were among the founding partners of Laugo Arms, contributing to the development of the Scorpion EVO 3 and Alien pistol. Their experience spans professional firearms and designs intended for competitive shooting. The Stinger 9 follows this tradition with a 9mm Luger platform that is also offered in semiautomatic configurations for civilian use. 

The DMT system: Two moving masses to manage recoil 

The Stinger 9's Delayed Matter Technology (DMT) is a dynamic recoil reduction system based on dividing the bolt mass into two separate elements. Each element has its own release timing and rearward travel. Because the two masses move at different speeds and at different moments during the operating cycle, their interaction helps counteract the recoil impulse as the action reaches the end of its travel. At the same time, the DMT system does not rely on numerous small moving components and retains the mechanical simplicity and reliability associated with a blowback-operated action. The bolt also locks open after the last round has been fired. The manufacturer claims a noticeable reduction in felt recoil, something we look forward to verifying through instrumented testing and a range session. The Stinger 9 uses double-stack polymer magazines with a standard capacity of 30 rounds. Reduced-capacity magazines are also available to comply with regulations in the various countries where the firearm is marketed. 

Lucansky Arms Stinger 9: An "open-source" approach to the PCC 

The Stinger 9 features an ambidextrous safety selector and a reversible forward charging handle that can be positioned on either side of the firearm. This is complemented by a centrally located, AR-15-style T-shaped charging handle at the rear of the upper receiver, giving shooters two different options for operating the action. The trigger group is also compatible with standard AR-pattern components, opening up extensive customization possibilities using aftermarket products. A full-length MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail runs along the top of the firearm, allowing iron sights and optical sights, including conventional optics and red dots, to be mounted together. Customization options are further expanded by the M-LOK accessory mounting interface on the handguard, while the telescoping stock allows length-of-pull adjustment. Lucansky Arms is also paying attention to the development of accessories. In the downloads section of its website, the manufacturer makes 3D design data available for certain external components, including charging handle covers and selector levers. This reflects the company's willingness to support user customization and encourage third-party accessory manufacturers to develop their own components for the platform. 

Lucansky Arms Stinger 9: technical specifications

Lucansky Arms Stinger 9: U.S. availability 

Lucansky Arms has established a U.S. presence in Pennsylvania and has announced plans to introduce the Stinger 9 to the American market. However, as of November 2026, commercial importation and retail availability are still unconfirmed, and no official U.S. release date or MSRP has been announced. 

For CONUS buyers, the Stinger 9 configurations with a 4” or 8” barrel and a conventional shoulder stock would be classified as a short-barreled rifle (SBR), an NFA item. Still, pistol configurations without shoulder stocks may also be subject to applicable state and local regulations. In any case, an eventual U.S. lineup, pricing and available configurations have yet to be announced.
