I have been thinking and looking at an AR15 pistol for both work and as a car gun. Saw one on GB and won it. 10.5 in barrel picatinny rail upper and Truglo red dot. I took it to the range and was nervous. Some reviews had me thinking it would blow up in my face and the noise would ruin my already bad hearing. Not even close. Noise was loud but nothing punishing and it was very accurate/reliable. I am 100% pleased. No FTE or FTF. Already own the ATI 1911 commander size and am very happy. I will keep testing it with different mags but so far I love it. Stay safe. WJF
