    AR pistols = fun?

    Sooo. Are they? Thinking about one with a red dot on it. Are they fun? Any accuracy with no stock and short barrel? Just checking before I pull the trigger (ok, bad pun). Thanks!

        ARs are ok, never shot the AR pistol but AK pistols are the sh*t.

        Here is me shooting NicoRoshi's AK pistol

          AR Pistols are plenty accurate, it is up to the shooter to get comfortable and hit the target. A EOTech or Aimpoint is plenty for a pistol, I have owned both a AR and AK Pistol and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that they are extremely fun to shoot and accurate. Now standing up and cheeking the buffer tube and really trying to hit targets can be done but it takes practice. I recommend you try the cheek welding method, it will give you the best of both worlds. It helps keep the pistol sturdy and gives you better eye relief for either a red dot or iron sites.

          There is a local range that has a steel silhouette target at 100 yards and myself and others have been able to get 8/10 or better with mbus only. I have only used a EOTech for a hws red dot and I could usually hit the silhouette with 10/10 shots. My favorite part about them is usually the crowds that line up around you and ask about them. I like to let others try it out as well and love to see the from ear to ear after they try it out.

          Hope this helps

              yeah they are fun and accurate too. with iron sights you can hit a steel plate repeatedly at 100yds easily.

                Very fun and surprisingly accurate. Since I use the GSE tube on mine, I can't really "cheek it," but I actually prefer using a Troy single-point sling and forward tension to steady my aim (same thing I use on my AK pistol.) YMMV!

When I get the item, I will leave you iTrader feedback, assuming you've already done your part. See how that works?

                    Whatch out for that magpul AFG. That is considered a forend grip. Used to have one until I was sternly warned against it.

                      so that IS official. AFG is bad?

                      and comp (like BC) or flash hider (like flaming pig) is NO problem, right?
                      also, are these like rifles in AZ where you can run but bullet button and 30rnd mags out of state?

                      Thanks guys. GREAT looking pistols!

                        I thought the AFG is good to go for AR/AK pistols since it wasnt considered a VFG?
