Great Lakes Firearms AR-15 Pistol: Compact Power in .223 Wylde

This purpose-built AR-15 pistol represents a thoughtful approach to compact rifle design. Chambered in .223 Wylde, it fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition with equal reliability—a practical advantage for shooters who value ammunition flexibility.

Practical Considerations

This is a serious tool for shooters who understand AR-15 platforms. The .223 Wylde chamber offers inherent accuracy advantages over standard .223 Remington. The short barrel trades some velocity for genuine portability—ideal for home defense, training, or competition use where maneuverability matters.

The included muzzle brake helps manage recoil and muzzle rise in a compact package. Plan your accessory selection carefully; the full Picatinny rail accepts any standard mounting system.
