The VKTR VK-1P 5.56 NATO AR-15 pistol in Armor Black (brand part no. V31100916636) pairs an 11.5-inch barrel with an SB Tactical SBA3 brace. It uses the patented low-profile VK-1 short-stroke piston system, which matches the footprint and weight of a standard direct-impingement AR-15. Billet ambidextrous controls, a Radian Raptor charging handle and a Hiperfire single-stage trigger come standard. A 9.85-inch VK-1 handguard and an A2 flash hider finish the front end. Built by VKTR Industries, it targets shooters who want a compact, piston-driven AR pistol.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 5.56 NATO, a common cartridge with wide factory support.
• The barrel length is 11.5 inches, heavy profile and hammer forged with machined cooling flutes, which keeps the pistol compact but rigid.

• The rear of the pistol carries an SB Tactical SBA3 brace instead of a stock, which is how VKTR configures this AR pistol.

• The muzzle device is an A2 flash hider, a proven design that controls flash.
