Scott Richardson with Ronin Arms Showing off the Ronin Arms RA5SD, RA5SD-K, MPXSD, SD-K Conversion, RA9SD, RA9SD-K & Defcon4SD | CanCon 2024 Arizona
Ronin Arms offers a cutting-edge line of integrally suppressed firearms built on the MP5SD concept, modernized for today’s shooters. The RA5SD and RA5SD-K platforms deliver exceptional suppression using affordable 115 or 124 grain ammo—no need for costly subsonic rounds. Ronin also brings this performance to the SIG MPX with SD conversions, transforming any non-Copperhead MPX into a modern, suppressed system with 12-inch and compact 8-inch K models. The RA9SD and RA9SD-K offer the same SD performance in a custom AR9 platform built from precision-machined Glock mag lowers, with an easy conversion kit available for standard AR platforms. All Ronin SD systems keep 115/124 grain ammo subsonic before it exits the suppressor, delivering quiet, reliable performance across all platforms—including the versatile Defcon 4SD lineup.

Ronin SD-K kits are complete upper conversions (ready to pin onto your registered MPX lower), while others may be barrel + suppressor combos intended for licensed builders.
Key Features of the Ronin Arms SD-K Conversion:
Ported Barrel Technology: Similar to an MP5SD, the Ronin SD-K uses strategically placed barrel ports to bleed off gas and reduce bullet velocity. This means you can use common 115gr or 124gr 9mm ammo and still stay subsonic—no need for expensive 147gr ammo.
Integrated Suppressor Compatibility: The system is designed around a suppressor that fits over the ported barrel, capturing and controlling gas in a highly efficient way. Often non-serviceable, these suppressors are built for high round counts (40,000–50,000+).
Drop-In or Full Upper Kits: Some Ronin SD-K kits are complete upper conversions (ready to pin onto your registered MPX lower), while others may be barrel + suppressor combos intended for licensed builders.
Shorter, Lighter, Quieter: The compact design keeps your platform short and maneuverable, while quieting supersonic ammo to subsonic levels and reducing felt recoil.
