What's an AR Pistol?
An AR pistol is a firearm that is similar to an AR-15 rifle, but with a shorter barrel. An The AR-15 pistol is
a fully automatic, semi-automatic, or pump-action rifle that fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round (no stock).
An AR-15 pistol usually has a buffer tube or similar component instead of a stock to eliminate the
possibility of attaching a conventional stock. There must be no vertical foregrip on an AR 15 pistol to
qualify as such. The barrel on an AR 15 submachine gun is shorter than 16 inches — this is the
minimum legal length for a rifle barrel.
There are many factors to consider when purchasing an AR pistol, such as barrel length, overall length,
weight, and ammunition capacity. The best option for you will depend on your individual needs and
preferences.

How To Pick AR Pistol?
When choosing an AR pistol, there are several things you need to take into consideration. The most
important factor is probably going to be the intended use of the gun. Are you looking for a home defense
weapon? A plinking toy? Something in between? Once you have a good idea of how you will be using
your new AR, it will be much easier to narrow down the field and find the perfect option for you.
Some other factors you may want to consider include barrel length, overall length, weight, and
ammunition capacity. Again, the best option for you will depend on your individual needs and
preferences.
If you are looking for a home defense weapon, we would recommend something with a shorter barrel
and a higher ammunition capacity. For example, the Ruger AR-556 Pistol comes with a 10,5-inch barrel
and a thirty-round magazine.
