AR Pistols ?

[rbeau30]

I am going to build two after I finish my .308 build.

Mainly for fun, but I have seen posts that some people keep them in their car. Imagine the look on the road rager's face as they are banging on your window yelling obscenities.

Had a few in .223 (kel-tec) and 7.62 (Draco).
I have bought a Bushy Carbon 15 for the wife.
Never had any issue.
Absolutely worthless for any practical purpose.
The idea of using them for home defense makes me cringe (noise, over penetration, muzzle flash)).
BUT THEY ARE COOL!
The wife loves it, she calls it the Flashy gun!
The only thing louder than my wife...

I've a CMMG that has been 100% reliable. Great truck gun-rifle punch in a large pistol size package. Accuracy is decent for what it is. Aside from that pretty much a range toy

Cheapest way to get a pseudo SBR.

In the event of a Mad Max scenario it would be a hell of an open carry gun.

When built right they are very reliable.
Accuracy is usually 2-3 MOA on a decent built upper.

If you have to do any type of chore an AR-15 pistol on a single point sling rotated to your back makes chores easy with the length of a carbine not getting in your way.
I do not understand (possibly reliability on cheaper ones) why people get them in 10-11" and bigger barrels... may as well just get a carbine. If you get one I believe the 8" and shorter ones are the most easily carried and used.

Heck of a CCW with a 7.5" barrel and a Beta 100 round drum.

To me the muzzle blast doesn't seem as bad as 12ga slugs from a short entry type shotgun. (under 18"). Great fireballs at night though.

Wish I could add an AR pistol and a Draco to my small collection.

It was the first thing I built when I moved to Colorado. I always wanted one, but living in Massachusetts was unable to own one (they are illegal in Mass, unless you can build one that weighs less than 50oz)

I've brought it to the range a few time...it's fun, and everyone wants to try it when you take it out.

That accuracy and fps is going to fall off past 100 and 200 yards. Of course 50 I think is what most yeehawing it with one would shoot at in which case, yes they can be very accurate. It's rapid firing and staying on target that's an extra chore compared to a nice SBR you can snug up on.
