[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2011692, member: 2989"] Depending on how tall you are or your arm length and shooting style, pistol AR's can be shot like rifles fairly comfortably. Most people tend to shoot AR's like they would hunting rifles in the classic bladed stance. Shooting a pistol in a bladed stance makes it very awkward and hard to shoot shouldered since the buffer tube is so short. If you shoot in a more modern isosceles squared up stance, then shorter buttstocks are actually more preferable than the classic A2 type stock lengths. A full length carbine / pistol buffer tube is only about 1-2" shorter than a collapsible stock at the smallest setting. I'm 6 feet tall and can shoot a AR pistol shouldered fairly easily and shoot it as if it had a stock. I would prefer an extra 3", but otherwise it's pretty manageable. Also, with a tight single point sling, you can push out off your shoulder with just a cheek weld and hold it with a thumb over grip towards the nozzle and control the muzzle very well with still good split times. The people I see that have the most problems shooting an AR pistols are usually the magwell holders who shoot in more of a bladed stance. [/QUOTE]
