Ok, I'm gonna stay positive. You can get one, they're a hoot to shoot (probably), its your money, and as Elmer Keith stated "I'm for any sport that burns powder". OK

Elmer had his opinions though, so here's mine....other than novelty, what is the attraction of these AK/AR handguns? I can't think of anything I might attempt with one, that I might not accomplish better with a SBR or a pistol.

Stated that to a local LEO acquaintance and he started on about w/ a dot it was a "100 yd weapon" and on and on. I ain't buyin' it.

So if you got one, other than the hoot factor, and the fact that "you can", which I understand, does it serve a purpose in your arsenal?
