Compact Barrel Performance

The 10.5 inch barrel length sits in the sweet spot for AR-15 pistols, offering manageable overall length while maintaining enough velocity for defensive ammunition to perform as designed. The 1 in 8 twist stabilizes everything from 55 grain M193 to 77 grain match loads, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection without sacrificing accuracy. This twist rate handles the most common factory loadings reliably, making it a practical choice for shooters who run different loads.

Quad Rail Versatility

The carbine drop-in quad rail handguard provides full length accessory mounting on all four sides without adding excessive weight. This gives you room for lights, lasers, vertical grips, or rail covers based on your intended use. The aluminum construction keeps heat manageable during extended shooting sessions while maintaining strength for mounted accessories.

Tailhook Mod2C Brace

The Tailhook Mod2C brace in FDE offers a rigid platform for stability and control. The adjustable design allows for different shooting positions, and the cerakote finish matches the upper and lower receivers for a cohesive appearance. This brace provides consistent support for single handed shooting while maintaining a compact overall profile.

FDE Cerakote Finish

The Flat Dark Earth cerakote finish covers both the upper and lower receivers, providing uniform corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Cerakote offers superior protection compared to anodizing alone, particularly in humid or salt air environments. The FDE color scheme extends to the Tailhook brace and Magpul grip for a coordinated look.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Verify ammunition matches chambering before use. Inspect all components prior to use. No magazine included.
