{"product_id":"novritsch-ssx23-nbb-gas-pistol","title":"Novritsch SSX23 NBB Gas Pistol","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're in search of a sidearm to compliment your sniper rifle, you can't ask for much better than the Novritsch SSX23 Gas NBB Pistol! Based on the phenomenal MK23 platform, the sidearm of choice for snipers who value stealth, the SSX23 is fully upgraded inside and out and is a capable long-range platform despite being relatively compact. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the SSX23, we are kitted out with a 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel, TDC HOP-up and flat pressure plate, allowing BBs of up to 0.36g to be used and providing insane accuracy and range straight out of the box. The slide is also made from alloy, giving this MK23 platform the edge when it comes to realism and providing optics-ready functionality if you add the Novritsch SSX23 Red Dot Plate V2 or SSX23 Slide rail. If you prefer to run irons, you'll be pleased to learn that the SSX23 uses light-enhancing iron sights so you can pick them up quickly in both low light and bright conditions! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting at the front, we can find 16mm CW male barrel threads, allowing Novritsch Suppressors to be mounted directly. These threads are not standard 14mm CCW threads but adapters will be available soon so you can use your favourite suppressor or tracer unit. Currently, we recommend the 16mm CW version of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.patrolbase.co.uk\/novritsch-rectangular-modular-suppressor-v2-14mm-ccw\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNovritsch Modular Suppressor V2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor the SSX23 due to its internal baffle system and direct compatibility with the SSX23's unique threads. With a suppressor on, this beast is literally whisper quiet, essential for any sneaky sniper!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slide of the SSX23 doesn't move each time you shoot due to the highly efficient non-blowback internals designed for pure downrange effect. This means the SSX23 is far more gas efficient than common EU and Hi-Capa GBB pistols and is also much more consistent under rapid fire and far better in cold weather. NBB pistols are also inherently quieter than GBB pistols by a significant margin, ideal for skirmishers seeking a sidearm that can quietly dispatch the enemy without giving away their position. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slide itself is constructed from alloy, giving the SSX23 a more realistic weight and feel than other MK23 platforms while also providing a set of nifty light-enhancing iron sights which are fantastic for both dark CQB sites and brightly lit woodland settings. Also present at the rear of the slide are threaded holes designed to allow the Novritsch SSX23 Red Dot Plate V2 or SSX23 Slide Rail to be fitted for use with optical sights. This is a fantastic addition and exactly what the SSX23 needs to take advantage of its impressive long-range performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving down to the frame, we can find a \"HK Univeral Rail\" at the front which allows laser aiming modules and tactical flashlights to be mounted with the appropriate adapter. Without the adapter, this rail simply exists in tribute to the real MK23, an ageing platform developed before the 20mm Picatinny rail became the standard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the frame rail, we come to the trigger guard which is considerably enlarged to allow for full finger gloves. The front face of the guard is recurved to provide an extra index point to keep the front end under control, a particularly important design aspect for the SSX23 with its epic long-range performance but relatively heavy and long trigger press. The trigger itself is a standard curved design, intended to keep your finger placement proper, even when hammering out double taps in a hurry!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine release is in the usual spot; where the trigger guard meets the pistol grip. This mag release is a pushdown style lever like USP and MP7 platforms and is present on both sides, ideal for left or right-handed shooters. Novritsch logos can be found on each side of the textured grip, discretely recessed just like the manufacturer's markings on the real thing, with the model name \"SSX23\" marked on the right side at the top of the grip. At the base of the grip, we are also treated to a lanyard loop, allowing you to mount a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.patrolbase.co.uk\/viper-tactical-special-ops-lanyard\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePistol Retention Lanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eso your SSX23 doesn't go missing in the woods!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver on the left side, we have our dummy slide lock which doesn't work like a GBB pistol but serves as a hidden trigger lock safety when pushed upwards. The second safety is at the rear of the frame, taking the form of an ambidextrous lever which only works when the hammer is cocked. Speaking of the hammer, you can cock it manually as a neat way of making the SSX23 action noise quieter and reducing its trigger pull length and weight. The dummy lever between the safety and slide lock serves as the decocking lever on the real MK23 but on the SSX23 it is moulded into the frame to keep the overall look faithful to the real MK23.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the SSX23 is truly kitted out, rocking a 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel which is slightly longer than the stock MK23 barrel, giving you a slight FPS boost and improvements in accuracy potential. The HOP-up unit has also been completely revamped with a TDC-style adjuster and flat pressure plate, allowing up to 0.36g BBs to be used and increasing the range of the SSX23 to the borderline extreme. The pre-installed HOP-up rubber is a Maple Leaf 50-degree bucking but if you have a preferred bucking choice you'll be happy to learn that the SSX23 is compatible with any VSR\/GBB style bucking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need a sneaky sidearm to keep the enemy at bay while you relocate to take your next shot, the SSX23 would be your perfect companion. Even in CQB, the near inaudible muzzle report of the SSX23 gives you a significant advantage when entering a room, especially when paired with a suppressor!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull metal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.02mm Tightbore inner barrel - Raises FPS and improves accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16mm CW Male threaded outer barrel - This beast is begging for a suppressor!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTDC HOP-up with flat pressure plate pre-installed - This MK23 shoots like a beast!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlloy slide - A rare find for a MK23, maximum realism!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight-enhancing iron sights - High visibility sights, easy to find in low or bright light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Optics ready slide\" - Add the Novritsch SSX23 Red Dot Plate or SSX23 Slide Rail to mount an optic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHK style universal rail - Add an adapter to mount 20mm Picatinny accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbidextrous magazine release - Great for left or right-handed shooters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbidextrous manual safety catch - At the rear of the frame, can only be activated with the hammer cocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextured ergonomic pistol grip - Wider than usual but very comfortable and grippy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnlarged trigger guard - Plenty of space for gloved users and sausage-fingers owners!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard mount point - On the bottom of the grip, add a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.patrolbase.co.uk\/viper-tactical-special-ops-lanyard\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLanyard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eso your sidearm never goes missing!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.patrolbase.co.uk\/novritsch-24rnd-magazine-for-ssx23-mk23-pistols\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNovritsch SSX23\/303 Green Gas magazines\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNovritsch SSX23 Gas NBB Pistol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24rnd Green Gas magazine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllen key for TDC HOP-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard polymer storage case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Solid Strike Arena We Sell 2 Tone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56779236245882,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/6789\/1762\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-08180352.jpg?v=1775668033","url":"https:\/\/thesolidstrikearena.store\/products\/novritsch-ssx23-nbb-gas-pistol","provider":"Solid Strike Arena We Sell 2 Tone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
