Looking at entry-level AR pistols. The Ruger AR556 (at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore) and Palmetto State Armory's AR pistol (also a 10.5" barrel like the Ruger) are about the same price. Both come with SBA3 braces and are optics-ready. Pro's and Con's of either one? Preferences? | ||

I’ve got a Ruger AR556 16” carbine that has been perfect with anything other than Tula steel case...the pistol should be about the same... I bought a PSA 10.5” complete upper that I installed onto a lower I built as a pistol...it feeds everything 100%... Either should be GTG. ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

I'd take ruger as a vendor every time over PSA. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

Either would be fine. Go for the best price or features you want. | |||

The Ruger has a higher resale value. | |||

In typical gun forum style I will mention a gun you did not even ask about. I bough a Saint AR Pistol from Grab A Gun for $750, $8 shipping. I think it has gone up $25 since. It has great features and has been fantastic with all ammo. It has no sighting so you will need to purchase your choice. __________________Making Good People Helpless . . .

I have an early AR556 pistol. It was a jam-o-matic at first. It went back to Ruger twice before they got it fixed. But it is fixed. Even runs steel cased ammo now. I only have one experience with PSA on a 300blk pistol I put together, but I have not had to use their support. Personally, even considering the issues I had with the Ruger, I would still take them over PSA. | |||

Either should be fine but as Fredward said the Ruger would have a higher resale value. So if they are the same price I'd go with the Ruger. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

I bought my Dad one of the PSA 10.5" and its been 100%. I would pony a little more cash for the CHF barrel and not even look at the Ruger. I don't buy firearms thinking about resale. David W. Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud. -Sophocles | |||

PSA every day of the week. As mentioned you should get the chf bbl and the nickle boron bcg and bang away. | |||

I’ve had both....and the Ruger is a better gun. To me. Runs everything I’ve put through it. | |||
