CMMG MK 9 PDW 9MM AR PISTOL: NOT YOUR TYPICAL 9MM HANDGUN

摘要

A recent trend that can no longer be ignored or dismissed as a fad is the number of pistol models stemming from what was typically associated with rifle pattern weapons via removing the buttstock. AR type pistols are dominating this genre via weapons featuring shorter than 16-inch barrels sans any rifle stock; only a buffer tube is protruding from the rear of the receiver. While many will have a wry smile cross their face when discussing AR pistols, AR pistols are in compliance with BATF regulations or we would not be covering it in this magazine. For individuals that have no legal access to a National Firearms Act Short Barrel Rifle (SBR), the AR pistol may well be the closest they can get to achieving such firepower in such a compact package. Along these same lines, the expansion of states issuing concealed carry permits along with honoring other states permits is another reason why AR pistols are currently so popular.
