Because a bunch of folks are cheap asses, don't want to pony up 200 for a stamp, muh rights, "don't want the man to know I have it"
I get it, I would rather walk in, pay for an item, pay 200 at the point of sale (better yet-nothing) and walk out. But until that happens, pay the stamp, do it right verses a walk around and enjoy the shorty.
Truth hurts, yes, nobody wants the pistol now.
GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
Pistol vs rifle concerns are valid. $200 is shit, you should have just left that point out. Registration, pistol vs rifle laws in different states, these are valid concerns.
Sorry to get in the way of your pro sbr/atf/feds/registration post.
Years ago I had both a draco pistol and a keltec plr16, both long sold now. No buffer tubes, just fun toys. I got fairly decent with both by pushing the weapon out against the sling.
I'm not pro anything in regards to the whole class III system. You forgot the part that mentions, "would rather walk in and pay the fee or nothing at all and simply buy it"-you let your dislike of the system get in the way of the point I made. I still stand on the fact that people are cheap asses and it is a simple fact-if it wasn't for the braces, a whole bunch of folks would not have purchased the things to begin with.
GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!

IMO, pistols with braces sold well not because they were $200 cheaper (tax stamp) than an SBR, but rather because of no paperwork hassle or long wait. That's always been the main obstacle for purchasing NFA, not the $200.
Braces were the easy button. No permission, no bureaucratic process, no wait, no engraving, no class 3 BS if you want to sell, no permission to travel, etc.
Hell, I'd pay $200 for a brace just to be able to skip all that BS.
But here we are...
Back to the intent of the OP, a 10.5/11.5 braceless pistol is still quite capable. But for some reason there's not much interest.

You won't outvote the corruption.
