Fighlite’s Bandito is not an SBR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We’ve seen FightLite’s AR pistol before, but at first, it had only a pirate raider grip<\/a>. Now with a solid “sawed-off” (for lack of a better phrase) style grip, you can get two hands on the Bandito and hold it firmly. The buttstock is not a brace, so this will not be affected by the ATF’s SBR rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bandito mounts to standard AR-15 uppers, but the lower is significantly different. It’s a modern take on the mare’s leg shotgun shape and the whole gun is just 21.25″ long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AR users will have an easy time with the controls, but the lower is reshaped much more like a mare’s leg shotgun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Bandito’s barrel is just 7.25″ long, so the RipBrake is essential for keeping recoil under control and directing the fireball to the sides so you can still see your target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forend has a flare to help keep your hand behind the blast. It’s available in both 5.56 NATO and 300 Blackout, and the barrel is threaded appropriately for each caliber so suppressor use will be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
