The Truth About AR Pistols in California

In this video, I share my experience buying an AR pistol in California and whether I think it’s worth it. Short answer: yes, if you’re interested in a compact setup that offers better mobility, especially in calibers like 5.56 or 300 BLK. Or just a fun range toy to show off to your friends. It’s definitely worth it. But keep in mind, since we’re talking about California, there are some downsides—like the challenge of getting one legally in the first place and the specific restrictions you’ll need to follow to keep it in California compliant

  1. 7.5” went from meme to surprisingly well in real world steel ringing. Loud AF but even in a vehicle outperforming the ole MK18. One full bullet spin seems to work well enough

  2. Kalifornia is the worse state when owning firearms. I finally
    had enough when I had to registered my semi automatic
    rifles. I moved in 2011 to Nevada. Where you go in
    buy a firearm wait for your
    background check approved
    and walk out the same day.
    No 10 day waiting period. Also the same for buying ammunition. The best is having no 10 round magazines restriction. When I visit Kalifornia I feel bad for law abiding gun owners when I go
    to a gun store and have to deal with all this nonsense.

  3. From So Cal as well and went through FFL level 7 for all the legalities of a DROS'd AR pistol for the peace of mind. Yes, you do pay a premium BUT you are good to go for a AR pistol which is amazing to have. the law regarding "..may constitute the manufacturing of an unsafe handgun.." if you convert it, is just scare tactics. the law is black and white it's either exactly as is or not, no gray areas. The FFLs that DROS AR pistols went through enough back and for with the ATF to make sure they are legal because they wouldn't dare risk their business or livelihood for a random nobody.

  4. Love your gunsmiths number. My wife wanted to order me the Juggernaut Tactical AR California compliant pistol for Father's Day which I really was excited about until I realized it's a single shot and not semi. If I can build it out California compliant I would love to do so. Not sure I want to fix mag but I don't mind the juggernaut. Usually takes a couple hundred rounds at the range to get the Juggernaut loose enough to break easily. I told my wife to hold off on ordering it can legally be converted to semi. Your option of going to a gunsmith and having it custom built California compliant sounds like another option I had not yet considered

  5. it doesn't make any fucking sense why LEOs and military are allowed to privately own some firearms and citizens aren't. Their departments provide the basic equipment, everything else off duty makes them just a citizen. If you're saying some guy working in an office has no need for an SBR, neither does a fatass off duty cop.

  6. Just buy an on roster ar pistol/ repeater
    Ps. The Franklin armory is a bolt action repeater, not an ssp

    Franklin armory ca7-$1100

    Holosun he510c green dot-$370

    Sba3 pistol brace-$80

    Palmetto state armory 7.5” upper-$280

    Ar maglok + king pin-$110

    Kak industries mini buffer-$65

    Rise Armament Patriot High Performance Trigger 3.5lb – Flat -$119

    Ergo 2 flat top sure pistol grip-$22

    Saving up to buy a better upper/new optic but I wanna build a prerunner Silverado so it’s on hold for now

  7. the atf classifications are stupid, and calling that short barrelled rifle a pistol is also stupid.
    common sense,
    a rifle is a gun that is intended to be held with two hands and shouldered. they often use powerful rounds and have long barrels, and sometimes have full auto or burst
    a short barrelled rifle is a short barrelled rifle
    a pistol is a gun intended to be fired with one hand (when unsupported). they have very short barrels and often are chambered in smaller rounds
    "a brace is not a stock because a fork is not a spoon", should instead be "…because a spork is not a spoon." you get largely same functionality of a stock from a brace. therefore a brace should be legally treated like a stock. for policy, intention does not matter. the practical outcome/behaviour is all that matters
