45 ACP AR-15 Pistols

Build the Ultimate Handgun

While some might see the short barrel and no buttstock as basic and clunky compared to other semi-auto handguns and SBRs, AR owners see a canvas. AR-15 pistols give you the bare minimum so you can build a gun that's tailor-made for its use case. Attach a pistol brace for added stability; slide on an optic for better accuracy; attach a longer barrel for greater bullet velocity.

Plus, they're chambered for rifle caliber cartridges like 5.56 NATO, putting the same firepower as a full-sized rifle in the palm of your hand. However, if you want more accuracy, heft, and traditional rifle accessories, you can explore our selection of AR-15 rifles. You'll find a rifle with the features you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are AR-15 pistols good?

AR-15 handguns are reliable, effective weapons, but they're best with attachments. Their biggest flaw is that rifle-caliber cartridges produce much sharper felt recoil than handgun ammunition would. Without the stock that AR-15 rifles have, that recoil makes them hard to control. However, with the addition of a pistol brace, this flaw is almost completely eliminated. You will have a highly portable, powerful handgun that works great as a home defense or truck gun.

Can you legally turn an AR rifle into a pistol?

The rules around modifying a weapon yourself vary. Swapping parts because you're changing the weapon's appearance is generally fine, but when it comes to a weapon's function, things can get tricky depending on what you're doing and where you live. The good news is our AR pistols for sale were manufactured to be handguns, so you won't need to worry about those legal loopholes.

Can you ship an AR-15 pistol to my house?

All orders must be sent to someone with an FFL. Unless you happen to have one, you will need to have your pistol delivered to your local FFL dealer. You can pick it up from them after it arrives.
