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.

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.
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.
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.
Semi-auto handguns are a staple of gun collections, but not just because of the versatility of a single gun. It's because there are pistols designed for a range of specific applications. Here are some of the most common ones:

Semi-automatic handguns, also known as "self-loading" or "repeating" pistols, are guns that automatically load the next cartridge from a magazine (or, if it's an antique, a clip) when the round in the chamber is fired. However, unlike fully automatic weapons, each chambered round requires its own individual trigger pull.
While fully automatic weapons have some legal restrictions, such as additional permits or statewide bans, semi-auto firearms don't. While you still need to do some paperwork and get a license to buy one, they're one of the easiest types of firearms to purchase. The vast majority of our handguns are perfectly legal to purchase nationwide, but always check your local gun regulations before ordering.
When you buy guns online, they can't be sent straight to your home. It needs to be shipped to and picked up from your local FFL dealer in what's called an "FFL transfer." Before ordering, make sure to ask your dealer of choice if they're willing to accept your package. If they didn't know to expect your package or downright refuse, they'll likely send it back to us.
