After getting its start by supplying parts for AR-style rifle owners, CMMG has grown into a company that builds complete and innovative AR-type rifles and handguns. Among these innovative products are the Banshee series of radial-delayed blowback Banshee pistols and SBRs. New for 2026, the company is introducing the ZEROED Banshee, a firearm that is optimized for use with suppressors.
The ZEROED Banshee is available in 5.7×28 mm, 9 mm Luger, 10 mm Auto, and .45 ACP, using the radial-delayed blowback system. The .300 Blackout version uses a direct gas impingement system. All models have a 6.5-inch barrel that is placed inside a 10-inch oversized handguard that allows a suppressor of up to 1.58 inches to be installed and partially shrouded by the handguard. The handguard has M-Lok slots for accessories and a full M1913 Picatinny rail along its top surface. Three silicone SD-style covers on the handguard provide heat protection.
Pistol-caliber versions feed from Glock-compatible magazines (a 9 mm Luger version with a standard AR-15 magazine well that feeds from CMMG’s 33-round magazines is also offered). The .300 Blackout model feeds from standard AR magazines and the 5.7×28 mm model feeds from CMMG’s 32-round magazine that utilizes a standard AR-15 magwell.
Each ZEROED Banshee is loaded with CMMG’s ZEROED parts, including an ambidextrous charging handle, pistol grip, drop-in single-stage trigger, trigger guard and 60/90-degree ambidextrous safety selector. They have a billet upper and forged lower aluminum receiver. They can be had with an Armor Black, Coyote Tan, FS Green, Midnight Bronze or Tungsten Cerakote finish. They are currently offered as a handgun with CMMG’s RipBrace stabilizing brace installed, with short-barreled rifle (SBR) versions planned for the future.
The ZEROED Banshee is available with one of the company’s ZEROED suppressors installed (all NFA rules apply) (MSRP of $2,125 to $2,325) or with a faux suppressor blast diverter in place that allows the customer to install the can of their choice (MSRP of $1,650 to $1,850).
Announced with the ZEROED Banshee are the company’s RBB and SVB muzzle devices, which are compatible with Plan B-style suppressor mounting systems including the company’s ZERO B DAPTER hub. The devices will be available in the following configurations:
- M12x1 mm LH for the FN PS90
- 1/2×28 TPI, 5.56 mm
- 1/2×28 TPI, 9 mm
- 5/8×24 TPI, .338 caliber
