First Look At The Wilson Combat AR9G Short Barreled Rifle!

Though many other 9mm ARs have hit the market, Wilson Combat’s AR9G claims match grade accuracy with their barrels and reliable last round bolt hold open using factory Glock mags. Also available in Beretta and Smith & Wesson M&P variants and carbine and pistol configurations.

Dedicated pistol-caliber AR-style carbines were certainly one of the themes coming out of SHOT Show this year, though it might surprise some to discover that one of those carbines that is generating the most buzz among industry media is from Wilson Combat, a brand best known for high-end 1911s and fighting shotguns.

I think one of these firing subsonic 147 grain JHPs would be a great home defense gun, especially if equipped with a silencer.
