Been wanting an Ar style pistol, but settled on an 9mm AR9 from Freedom Ordinance. Its not exactly built on an Ar platform, but is very similar and shares the same controls. 8" barrel and takes Glock mags, seem to be the best priced one I could find and reviews are pretty good. I havent had a chance to shoot it yet, but will update hopefully this weekend. I am still in amazement that the ATF allows these little guns to be shouldered. First impressions are it seems to be pretty high quality and looks cool. Best of all I can shoot steel with it and not damage my plates. I added a inexpensive Bushnell TRS-25, magpul afg, and some utg back sites are in the mail.
Does anyone else have a pistol caliber carbine that they have had good success with?
