Didnt see many reviews for these around so I figured Id post my own. As usual YMMV JMHO ETC....
First off I ordered their 7.5" pistol kit with a stainless barrel (1/7). The kit came with everything, including the sig brace and buffer assembly, minus the BCG and charging handle. The quad rail was a nice touch for the price. It comes with an A2 flash hider and I see no immediate need to change that. So STOP... Picture time!
Accuracy : Above what I expected, although its not shown in the video (see end of post) we took it out to 50 yards and it can shoot better than I can. When I did my part off of bags it would shoot quarter size groups. 99% of my shooting was off hand though and the weight of the sig brace balanced out quite nicely. Off hand at 50 yards I could keep it in a hand spread and at 20 yards it was one ragged golf ball size hole.
Functionality : We all know that AR pistols can behave badly and be temperamental. After running 500 rds of SS109 Im convinced that the problem stems from people screwing with what already works. 500 rds with just a quick lube job when I unboxed it and I had no FTE, FTF, or FTL. She runs like a little dirty girl though, looks like my LR308 with carbine gas after running 800 rds of junk mil-surp. So from a reliability stand point the guys at Hardened Arms seem to know what they are doing. Just for the love of God DO NOT screw with the way it comes... It works just fine
Cosmetics and ETC : There is a little play in the upper to lower fit. This is my biggest complaint. Not enough to look bad, but enough to bug me. The finish was great all over the gun though. In case you didn't already know... these things AR-LOUD (see what I did there? AR... are.... yay puns!)
Here is a video with some shooting and Slow motion. Any questions.... just ask.
