AR pistol shoots like a dream... but is it just a toy?

This little gun looks like a super gimmick but I'll tell you after shooting one yesterday that I feel like I've got to have 3 or 4. It might be the most fun I've EVER had shooting, and I've fired my share of guns.

the accuracy is stellar, the fireball coming out after every pull of the trigger makes the whole range stop and stare, its 30 rounds of rifle ammo, fits in my gym bag, and costs 450.00. Also- less recoil than my 9mm, no lie. May get my vote for best budget-prepper gun of all time.

My -ONLY- concern is the range, but I have little doubt that it'd take medium size game inside 100 yards with ease. Maybe those of you more familiar with ballistics etc could tell me if thats realistic or not? Could it drop a deer at 50-75 yards?

I look at it and its like a 4x4 corvette with a trailer hitch- they tried to be the best of everything here... and damn fellas i'm not entirely certain that they were unsuccessful.

Buddy of mine bought one recently and I watched him and his nephew shoot it, as well as a video ad. Wondering how they tamed that sucker the way they did. Can't be all muzzle comp holding it down. But if it is, I know what's about to go on the end of my AR barrels.

 

[madwabbit]

I agree!! I hate to give the muzzle break that much credit but its like super-tubro-charged compared to any other i've ever used.

Again, I can't explain it... but damn its incredible.

and I think I'm going to buy a handful of these, I could see this platform being on the next liberal agenda.

I called Ferrara Firearms last week hoping they had some in stock. Glad to see this thread. I want one more now.

$50 for a transfer, looooooooooool

 

[madwabbit]

called 3 others, cheapest so far is 35.00

any FFL's in acadiana willing to do a decent transfer to earn my business and word of mouth referrals? I'm a frequent shopper!

This kind of firearm is a novelty at best. Interesting nonetheless. It would look better with the traditional AR iron sights.

 

[madwabbit]

before I shot it, i thought it was gimmick novelty gun as well.

.5" groups at 50 yards and less recoil than a 9mm isnt so 'novelty' to me

Check with Kenny at Meplat in Metairie. He had them in stock not long ago.

If it's what you really want, get it! All of us have something in common: We only go around once! DO IT!









Yeah, I know. I'm not exactly good at discouraging when it comes someone to buying firearms. But I mean well.

lol. im just trying to justify it at this point as something I can take to mercilessly erm, i mean humanely dispatch hogs off my land... I don't see why not?

Already ordered one, will post a video from first range trip when it comes in.

Yes- that would add another level of fun to dealing with the Demonpigs.

+1 on Kenny. He had a bunch of them for $500 out the door

My ears are bleeding just looking at it.

No doubt. And they are some flame throwers too.
I think madwabbit might have the right idea about it making a good pack gun.

FYI they don't like steel cased ammo.
