Never been huge into the AR scene, though I do have a couple just because.
Lately I've had a wild hair to get an AR pistol. Looking at 5.56 - not into Grendel, BLK or anything else. Looks like they range from cheap to as much as you want to spend. Came across the SA Saint/Saint Victor/Saint Edge pistol platforms. Do they suck? Are they great? Discuss.
it has a nitrided barrel, short of that I know nothing about it. For a fun gun nitride is fine, for a hard use gun chrome is still better, I am sure the nitride fans will show up but ask them why does Uncle Sam still chrome his barrels now that the miracle of nitride has appeared ?
Yeah I have been looking at AR pistols too. Just at the gun counter a few days ago. Mostly looked at the springfield and the ruger because it was what was in stock. I am wanting to stick with the 10" +- barrel lengths.
The saiint edge has folding sights but I do not like the collapsible brace. It has a little lever that will snag and is fine motor skill challenged. Further the rails are in the thumb space near the safety. The ruger imo has a better brace and a trimmer forend but no sight(which i can remedy) For some reason they used a non sandard BCG...wtf? I need to find out if they will run with a standard BCG. Between the two I would go ruger but I am still lookin. BTW I got a buddy with a blade brace on one and it sucks. Slips an scrapes the buffer tube and get that sucker on your collar bone and not pleasant.
I built acRRA pistol with a 7.5 barrel. Fun to shoot but make sure you double up ear protect... really loud and quite a concussion. After the novelty wore off, I got rid of it. There was some talk about making sure you don’t have a spare rifle lower near you pistol... might be interpreted as a SBR...
Shot another one today, not sure which model, had some upgrades. Was very badass. Now I think I'm going to start saving my pennies. I believe it was the Edge.

I fondled one over the weekend. Still on the fence though - lotta shekels

oodles of shekels. That one was $1200 when he got it, like 1400 now. But damn it was sweet.

I'll tell you guys, I went into the AR pistol the low budget route. Built a lower from a PSA stripped, maybe $175 or so with the SBA3 brace. Then I've accumulated three PSA pistol uppers since then. I've got 10.5" 5.56, 10.5" 7.62x39, and an 11.5" 5.56. These uppers sell for like $229 with BCG and CH.
They have all ran trouble free for hundreds of rounds.
Yesterday I was out with the 10.5" 7.62x39. Shooting transitions between 25 yards and 50 yards. Then cranked up the rear drum and was plinking away at 500 yards. It's just ridiculous.
