Correct. BATFE rulings in favor of the angled foregrip, hand stops, and anything small enough to prevent you from using your hand to grip it vertically. Horizontal grabbing is just like grabbing the rail and therefore is AOK. Now to still remain pistol, barrel size doesn't matter, but the buffer tube must be the type that will not allow a buttstock to be mounted, and will have the ability to use the kak brace or the sig arm brace as well as whatever other 'pistol type braces' have been floating around. As far as pistols are concerned, YOU SIR, have a couple of real nice ones. Did you build them or buy them?
this is a pistol I just finished days before seeing this awesome pair. It's a 10.5" carbine length system with the phase 5 hex-2 adjustable titanium gas block, geissele super 42 recoil system and Troy furniture (soon to be replaced by a longer lighter m-lok system)
Using Tapatalk as recommended by the welcome wagon. This DOES make photos easy to use instead of having to host them.
