 This is my AR-15 pistol. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Nuff said!  ETA: Here are the details on the pistol... Lower and LPK from DPMS 11.5" Flat top pistol kit from Model 1 Sales EOTech 512(F) I'll likely upgrade to the ACE buffer tube and the MIAD grip... other than that, I think I have a winner! |

That so isn't a pistol. If you put a foregrip on it... NY sucks...

Everytime I see an "AR-Pistol"................I have to ask...............WHY?

If you have to ask why, then you would not understand the answer.

So what CCW holster are you going to use?
 Looks nice, but I'd like a shorter buffer tube and barrel.. but that's just me. Round, aluminum free-floating handguards look so cool on AR pistols, and I don't know why.. |

My opinion - and please people, dont get offended - it is so you can have everything ready to go for an SBR if the SHTF better handling, etc. But that's just me, and I don't even have an AR.  Also, this is America - we don't have to have reasons - we just do. ETA: Also, as Americans, we like to push the boundaries. Ever seen some of the so-called muzzle loaders? |

Why not keep the long buffer on there so you could shoulder it and have a poor man's SBR?

Thinkin 'bout building me one of those...
So....is it loud? How's controllability? Can you light a target on fire from 10 paces? (did that once with a muzzle loader) GT Very nice by the way

I'm curious about the why, but from a different standpoint.
The buffer tube makes it ungainly and nearly as long as an SBR. I've seen the Olympic Arms OA-93, and it appears they eliminated the buffer tube, what replaced it's function I don't know. Is that not an alternative? |

I didn't know it was NFA, always thought it was considered another pistol. (pistol with 30 rounds of M193 and flash suppressor  )

No, only the SBR is NFA, the OA-93/98 is just a pistol. It uses a special upper with it's own specul gas system. Think of it as an AR on

I as well think the buffer is a little ungainly, but the great thing is we are now able to do cool things like this, unlike just over a year ago...That is the important thing...

I'm pretty sure it is just another pistol. Granted a rather expensive pistol. The gas tube looks sinfully ugly on it too. |

Better than a tube sticking out the back. I just wonder what was wrong that it never caught on. Edit: Pic stolen from gunsamerica, but this is exactly what I mean. For the same purpose, would this not be better than one with a tube sticking out the back of the gun? (for the sake of argument. Please omit any digs about the uber-cheap sight.  ) |

I have two stripped Stag Lowers sitting in the safe right now, you are giving me ideas

9mm! It's More Funner

Now this is a pistol with firepower. I wanted an ar15 pistol but I opted for this instead. Welcome to the dark side. Enjoy your visit.
 This was my pistol during the storm.Need to add a light and a laser. |

Great pistol!
As for the 'why?' crew, in New Hampshire we cannot have loaded rifles in our vehicles, only loaded pistols with a CCW. I also like the idea of not having to register it like an SBR. I have a stripped Stag Arms lower that I had transfered as a 'pistol'. Build in progress.

Same thing in La.You can have a loaded pistol but no loaded rifle.I think it goes back to the game laws. |

Now that I read about it a little I guess I would have had to of bought on of those lowers as a "pistol" receiver in order to be legal. Oh well if I decide to build a pistol one day I guess I'll just have to buy another lower as a pistol. That makes a lot of sense. |

Exactly. Fucking lame. You can have an AK-47 underfolder on the seat next to you with a pile of loaded AK mags on top of it, but heaven forbid that you actually have one of those mags inserted into the magwell.

I don't know if you could do this, but maybe an FFL could 're-transfer' the lowers to you as pistols for a fee. It shouldn't be a problem especially if you went to the FFL who did the original transfer. |

It is an AK47 pistol put together by red jacket. I got it from Atlantic Firearms. Worked like a charm. Great fun to shoot at night with that flash from a 11" barrel. |

Holy shit, that's badass... what functions as the buffer tube? What's the minimum barrel length for fragmentation with XM193 within 50 yards or so? |
