Which AR-15 pistol do you reccomend?
Looking for a new truck gun. Currently I have a S&W Governor which I'm in love with. But would love to have more rounds available. I'm looking for an AR-15 pistol that is under $1000. If you have one, please post up a picture and write your thoughts.

Cheers,
Josh

I don't own one, but the Springer Saint pistol is going for about 800 bucks.

Build and tweak your own for much less?

Don't rule out the AK-based version unless it's made in the USA by Century. I'm thinking my way into getting a 12.5" Romanian, myself.

I have a SIG PM400 I bought a couple years ago. I love it, but too nice and too expensive for a "truck Gun". I am in the process of building one for the truck as well, I bought a complete pistol lower from PSA for $139.00, and it is very nice.
Been trying to decide on which upper to go with, and I decided on a 7.5" piston upper and started shopping.
So far the only two I like are a SIG (which is too pricey $1100.00).
So now I am looking at an Adams Arms, very nice and the price is under $600. (UA-7.5-P-B-556-BLEM) This one has a three position adjustable gas block.
Not sure if this helps you, but definitely worth looking into as you start the decision making process on what you want to build.

PSA has one for $529.99 with free shipping to your FFL...includes a pistol brace and Magpul MBUS and an M-lok free float hand guard...

http://palmettostatearmory.com...istol-516447173.html

I built one using pretty much the 10.5" upper w/ BCG that came with a longer hand guard and KAK flash can...it functioned flawlessly...very good quality...actually with having to buy a lower, LPK, and pistol brace to use with the upper from PSA...I have about the same amount dollar wise as the finished rifle...maybe a little less, but not much...

But I do enjoy building them Smile

PSA upper build...the LAW folding stock adapter was a $180 addition from Brownell's...but really makes it easier to transport in a small space...

What do you use to transport it in??

I've got a Diamond Back with a LAW adapter and a Cmore on it and I need something to put it in besides a 20 year old black backpack...

I just ordered one of those thanks to you. Been wanting to get an AR pistol. Look like a great price so why not?

Hey Mike...for transport...

https://www.amazon.com/UTG-Sli...UTG+30%22+rifle+case

A UTG discreet rifle bag I found on Amazon Prime...it has three pockets for magazines and such...it's made in China (what ain't?) but seems well made overall. The folded pistol (sounds funny calling it that) fits with room to spare and is secured with a muzzle pocket and a wide Velcro strap...it's a 30" bag and could be 4" shorter and still work...I felt the blue color would look less gunny...

Alan...when you sign up to receive their "daily deals" emails, you will soon be staying up late at night "filled with desire" for things you had no idea you needed so badly and can't possibly live another day without Big Grin...

PSA is like crack Eek

Oh help me, Jesus...

By the way, any idea how long I should expect for the firearm to make it to my ffl? I literally clicked on your link and bought it without too much thought. I'm leaving town for awhile in about 11 days. By awhile I mean for about a month. Hoping it arrives by then. Is PSA relatively fast with firearms? It's my first firearm purchase from them.

Alan...I've never bought anything from PSA that had to go to an FFL...I've bought two barreled uppers, several BCGs, Vortex red dots, magazines, Magpul lower build kits and a whole bunch of ammo...pretty much everything came to my house via FedEx within a week...the pistol upper was 10 days from my placing the order with them if I remember correctly...so for me shipping has been fairly quick...but Tennessee is almost next door to SC as far as the states are concerned if that makes any difference...

You might contact them to get a time frame for delivery and pass that info to your FFL.

I have had PSA ship Firearms in three days and I have had them take ten days. You just never know.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll be carrying this in my 4Runner and will store it in the rear when not in use. The case mentioned above looks like a great way to transport it to the back.

PSA does look like my go to option right now.

Do any of you use a pistol AR-15 as a gun vehicle? I'd love to see some mount ideas/options.

I'm still debating what AR pistol to build for a car gun but for now my MPX pistol with folding brace fits nicely in the 5.11 bag. It was on sale from Amazon awhile back really cheap. My 10.5" 5.56 SBR fits in the Wilson bag for transport.

Once I get my Dead Air Sandman K, I am going to rebuild or sell off my 8.25" 300blk upper and build a 6.5" 300blk with a 9-10" handguard and use the Sandman-K mostly inside the handguard. Then that suppressed sbr will by my daily rifle that I drive with. (I only carry the SBR for trips to and from work, not when I am out and about. I'm also looking hard at the SIG MCX Rattler in 300blk. That would work great with the -K)

We're slowly switching out our Chargers for Explorers and I kept one of our Charger rifle mounts before they could throw it away. I haven't figured out how to mount it in my car yet. Was thinking under trunk deck.





I had to point out that that setup was not secure since you could pop the pins and steal it.
