Ok... quick rant! I don't think AK pistols are practical. Yes they're smaller than full size AK's but they can't be nearly as accurate with the short barrel and no stock. Sure they're more concealable than the full size rifle but not nearly as concealable as a standard pistol. Alright you figure they'll be banned eventually, i get that, get em while you can. So really - besides the cool factor, whats the point?

Disclaimer: I must confess - while i don't see any practical purpose of it in pistol form i do still kinda want to build one, although i'm not totally sure why... feel free to let me know why i think they're dumb yet still want to have one of my very own to love and shoot. Just crazy?

The mags from my rifle fit my pistol. The ammo for my rifle fits my pistol. A majority of my spare parts for my rifle fit my pistol. Shooting steel out to 200+ yards with my rifle is fun. Shooting steel out to 200+ with my pistol is funner. The fireball from my pistol is fun regardless of the excess noise. But I'm shooting so who cares about the noise.

It blew up on you? Do you have any after pictures? I'm curious about the mode of failure considering I see one issue that would make firing your pistol unsafe in the configuration shown in your photo.

Did you put the handguards on it yourself?

Do you think 200 + mph sport bikes and cars are practical? I think if everything man has made was all about "practical" then we would have a boring life. You want to build one because you know its cool as hell to look at and shoot. It might not be pin point accurate out to 200 yards, but I'm sure it will still hit a man size target and destroy his innerds, but thats not what guns are made for, haha.

True enough.

Your opinion only and nonfactual. Rant invalid.

Yes they're smaller than full size AK's but they can't be nearly as accurate with the short barrel and no stock.

Actually they can be more accurate then full size AK due to shorter barrel. (maybe less barrel flex/whip).

Using sling in opposite tension method it's just as stable as stock. It's all about how or what you know.

Sure they're more concealable than the full size rifle but not nearly as concealable as a standard pistol.

No standard pistol can give you the firepower of 7.62x39, not even .50AE and no traditional AK can be concealed as good especially inside a vehicle or other cramped spaces. There's a reason for PDW type weapons existence, a role that standard pistols can not fill. AK/AR pistol does that very well.

Alright you figure they'll be banned eventually, i get that, get em while you can. So really - besides the cool factor, whats the point?

The point is explained and NO, I don't think they'll be banned eventually and if they do, so will be regular AR's and AK's.
