Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Wrestling with the idea of a pistol AR

Good info, thanks - The PSA 9mm, that I've seen for sale used, makes me wonder if it gave the previous guy problems.

Yep........my MPX is good-to-go and one of the most 'fun' guns in the house.

Hmmm....they seem to be bringing quite a premium right now...

A 10.5” 556 pistol with a suppressor is completely different than unsuppressed. Unsuppressed mine rattles teeth. Suppressed you can shoot it without ear protection. It ends up being about m4 size with an 8” suppressor but is a perfect home/yard gun combined with a light.

NO kidding!

I put an SLR linear comp on my 10.5" AR pistol and it greatly reduced perceived blast and concussion, but groups opened up. I many have also switched lots of xm193. I need to figure it out, because the SLR was a pleasure to shoot.

What's the difference between a $40 and $140 compensator, besides the obvious?

If someone, say a friend, was going to dedicate a suppressor to an AR pistol, what are some good recommendations?

YHM turbo.

I have half a dozen cans from rugged, DeadAir, etc.

If I was starting over, I'd save a ton of cash and just buy yankee hill.

The muzzle device in my 7.5” 5.56 Saint makes it not bad to shoot at all in my opinion. Way better than the 10.5” with birdcages I’ve shot. In fact my Saint with a 40 round pmag is my truck gun.

I'd like to hear more about that Yankee Hill Turbo.

Me too.

I have the Turbo’s big brother the gen 1 Resonator. Same basic build as the Turbo but 30 cal. They aren’t super light but they sound good, are built well, have a respected qd system, have a great warranty, and are reasonably priced.

They are tubeless with and inconel blast chamber and stainless baffles CNC welded.

Same experience hear. (See that?) Though I am liking the 11.5" too. The 10.5 5.56 suppressed was surprisingly quieter than a 22lr revolver. I wish, rather all the other dicking around over the years, I would have just bought a few more suppressors.

Suppress it or get a bullpup.

I would be running it on my 11.5" BCM and wouldn't care that it's not super light.

Yeah resonator or turbo is the way to go.

I would go to silencer shops YouTube channel and start watching videos. Maybe jot down notes on at ear volume versus at muzzle volume versus weight versus length for your top two or three pics and go from there.

I have a turbo k that continues to impress me. If you're shooting on an AR it's about like shooting a loud 22 or 22 mag without ear pro no matter what can you choose and how much you pay so you're going to need ear protection for more than the occasional pop at a coyote.

Really no supersonic rifle round is safe without earpro so just embrace that and get something that's nice and light, in my opinion.

Yankee Hill is one of those situations where you get more than what you pay for in my opinion.

If you actually are a super hard use door kicker type that spends thousands of rounds training a month doing CQB drills, sure maybe you'd be better off with a sure fire or rugged brand or something like that, but for the vast majority of us I really think the Yankee Hill cans are phenomenal.

On the other end of the spectrum if you are super into PRS shooting or putting the smallest group on paper at the farthest distance away possible every weekend, you might want to step up to a tbac (thunder beast).

They're probably the "best" but you can easily buy three or four Yankee Hill cans for the price of one thunder beast.

I like pairing a silencer to a gun and being done with it instead of having to swap muzzle devices, etc all the time.

Glad this came up. Right now my pistol format has an10.5” barrel with birdcage. Don’t want to think about indoor muzzle blast after being in an indoor range by a 16” such equipped AR. Could feel body vibrations. Decided to not even shoot it till I swap the barrel for an 11.5 to 12.5”and install a forward directional comp. Bullets on hand are the plain old 70gr Speer cup&core. Want to stay heavy with probably a fast powder, likely TAC for the short barrel but also have CFE 223, Varget, & R15. Am undecided on sighting system but am leaning toward a hot white light hung and irons. But quite possibly dot with light. Fastfire RD is very interesting.

BURRIS RD FEEDBACK APPRECIATED.

For my purposes a 12 or 12 1/2” barrel is probably ideal. With the directional comp it becomes a very long pistol, and of course no one wishes to ID such a weapon as a SBR just because of its brace. But a 12” AR running 70gr SP from a 30 rnd mag with irons is a formidable line of sight weapon from feet to beyond 100 yds. With dot optics range increases. This new form or armament is quite impressive and obviously the Crown disapproves. It gives the free citizens it attempts to rule an even more effective purpose specific tool against tyranny. Amen

WTF?

If you’re telling me the RD is Chinese made then I’m not interested at any price regardless of features and benefits. I’ve not had much success getting good specifics on this sight including country of manufacture. As far as I know Burris does not have that listed on their website. And I know, at least lately up until now, Burris has stuck to manufacture in the Philippines. That’s not nearly as acceptable as were the US made products of old. However the Philippines are as far apart from Communist China as is Heaven from hell.

Since it was apparently not obvious enough when stated, “Feedback” as I asked includes country of manufacture. Retuck panties, normalize emotions. My feelings have not changed.

BOYCOTT COMMUNIST CHINA. PUSH YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND LET MANUFACTURERS IN THE OUTDOORS AND SHOOTING SPORTS INTERESTS KNOW YOUR CONTEMPT.

Shouldn't matter if that particular model is MIC or not. Some Burris models are, ergo the whole product line should be taboo. At least that's how I'm reading it.
