I really like the looks of the pistol, what are the barrel and rail lengths? I was eyeballing an 11.5" 9mm barrel and trying to visualize how it would work with a 10" rail.

Good grief dude, it's not illegal to shoulder a brace or even frowned upon....and nobody cares what lefties gun grubbers will think, they want to take them regardless.

The founding fathers would disown us if they knew half of gun owners were scared to do legal things for fear of what someone else might think of it.

Yeah, I have an 11.3" 5.56 with 10 inch rail as well, but my understanding is that there is roughly an inch less barrel forward of the receiver on a 9mm.

I had a 12" rail on my 11.3 5.56, but didnt really like the muzzle being at the end of the rail with a linear comp. I guess I can mock it up with the 9mm barrel and then decide about rail length.

Nice pistol, I think we shared a build philosophy:

I self-identify as an AR pistol shoulderer.

Love seeing young shooters having fun at the range. Tell him to stick his butt out a little and lean into it more, then c-clamp the rail with his support hand.

Here's my nephew shooting it -

It certainly makes sense to save the $200 and not go the SBR route.

Still, what's legal today may not be tomorrow and who knows? Five years from now ATF may rule braces illegal and everybody with an AR pistol will have to remove them.

Remember bump stocks were legal for years, too.

I'm not going to live my life afraid to own something that's legal today simply because it *might* become illegal later.
