Franklin Armory Introduces A New Line of AR Pistols

Franklin Armory have announced the introduction of a line of new pistols utilizing the SBA3 and SBA5 pistol braces. These are of course combined with Franklin Armory’s Binary pull-and-release firing mechanism. Since the ATF ban on pistol braces was vacated by Mock V. Garland back in June the pistol brace market has begun to see a bit of a resurgence. Franklin Armory are moving back into the space with the C12, which has a 12.5in barrel, the Salus, with a 12in barrel, and the PDW-C7 which has a 7.5in barrel. The MSRP for the pistols ranges from $1,289.99 to $1,699.99.
