Future of AR pistols?

so what if he does? Except for being expensive, they are very easy to get. There's always at least a couple for sale in the marketplace threads.

Doesn't even have to be expensive. Buy CA7, new barrel, gas block, gas tube. Done.

Don't forget the fixed mag.

[SigSauerP226]

Yes should have probably included that just in case people didn't know all semi auto AR pistols need mag lock.

ETA: Makes me wonder, we have non maglocked pistols, could we have an AR non maglocked? No threaded barrel, what else would be needed?

Nvm, magazine outside of grip is why.

I compete in USPSA, ICORE, and Bullseye, we all shoot one handed at some point. USPSA and ICORE even shoot weak hand.

It's also good training for defensive shooting. What happens if you are trying to keep someone away while drawing your gun or get hurt and can't use one hand?

Ever participated in a bullseye pistol competition?

Even in "defensive"/CCW shooting, we all practice one-handed shooting drills in case one hand is disabled, or the circumstances dictate that only one hand is available - there's nothing special about it.

'proper way' IS skills.
There is a 'proper way' to shoot with one hand.

[MountainLion]

No ha ha I was speaking to the proper way to shoot a handgun not to specialty shoot skills.

Try shooting at an 8" diameter target with a pistol at 50 yards with your "proper" technique. Once you hit mostly the 9 and 10 rings, we'll talk again.

And, to get back to the original topic of this thread: If AR pistols were such a good thing for making holes in the places you want to make holes in, every competitor and every military organization would have been using them for decades. They haven't. That should tell all of us something about them. AR pistols are neither ergonomic nor accurate.

EDIT: It said "economic" instead of "ergonomic" earlier, sorry about that.

[NoHeavyHitter]

Is the new ATF brace definition/retarded point system basically making these a complete headache to own?

Not at all.. They're always going to have the buffer tube to lay your cheek against. The only reason I even bought the "pistol brace" was because I thought it makes my AR pistols look nicer.

Oh darn, stupid me... And here all this time I'd thought the military used AR's many with barrels shorter than 16-inches.

Short-barreled rifle: sure. But pistol? Without shoulder stock?
