The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman DI is an AR-style direct-impingement pistol chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO designed for compact tactical, range, and duty use. It pairs a short, nitride-treated chrome moly barrel with a 9″ M-LOK handguard and a lightweight platform to keep length and weight manageable. The design incorporates POF’s E2 dual-extraction feature to assist case extraction and a mil-spec anti-tilt buffer tube with carrier cradle extensions for reliable carrier support. The receiver is finished in Patriot Brown Cerakote and the controls use durable MFT black components.
