AR15 Pistols

An AR pistol is a short-barreled AR15 built as a pistol, usually with a brace instead of a stock.

• Barrels are often 7.5 to 10.5 inches
• Great for vehicles, home defense and backpacks
• Loud with lots of flash. A good muzzle device helps
• ATF formally rescinded the pistol brace rule in May 2026, so a braced AR pistol is a pistol again under federal law

State laws vary. See AR15 Laws and our 7.5 inch build.
