I don’t personally want an AR pistol -or- SBR.

However:

1. My liberty-mindedness says if YOU want one... you have the uninfringible right to it, and

2. If I did want one, I’d have a carbine-length upper installed and a short-barrelled upper in the closet. Two pins and done, if the thing is necessary and the LE agencies too busy or too defunded to notice.

Item 2 reflects my attitude toward CCW or CPL or whatever you want to call the permission slips one “must” buy in order to carry the way you want: I’m NOT getting one, and if the situation calls for it, I’ll just carry without one and let the chips— and spent cartridge casings— fall where they may.

Okay, enough with all this defund the local LEO groups. I DEMAND the batf be defunded. And the fbi and the Department of INjustice How about that?

Merry Christmas.

You possessing a short barrel anything without an SBR or legal pistol receiver in your collection is enough to get you in hot water. Much like buying a stock or vertical grip when all your other arms are short barreled pistols. The order of acquisition matters. Or at least it did.

I’ve stayed out of the pistol brace arena of mods as I never liked the direction it was going. They are almost always used as a stock and now they are even adjustable in length. No wonder the BATF is looking at this abuse of their original intent. I just see it as a “matter of time” issue that will result in a ban due to stretching the boundaries so wide that these devices are really no different than a stock.

Still lots of advantages with a pistol AR. Might be having one in the collection.

I did a custom build of a 10.5" 300BLK with a proper Form 1 tax stamp for the lower that mounts it. 300BLK is finished burning powder at 9 inches. A 10.5" allows for a suppressor later. I have full length 300BLK uppers.

I have some proper pistol lowers with no braces to match uppers in the 7.5" to 10.5" range. They don't get used often. It's not really a great arrangement.
