Welcome everyone to the 103rd edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

In our last edition, our poll showed that you, the readers, found the Girsan Regard to be an overwhelming load of fudd crap.

This is our Pistol-Pup 10 Model. You get a New AR 15 Pistol custom assembled by gunsmiths for less than the price of assembly-line ones. New and ready to shoot AR-15 in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO with 10” Barrel The upper begins with an 10” Nitride coated (Black) Stainless Steel Barrel in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO caliber with 1:7 twist.

INCLUDED in the price is a Illuminated CV Life™ Red/Green Dot Sight with 4 different Reticles and 5 brightness settings, in both Red and Green. It provides quick target acquisition, pinpoint accuracy even at longer ranges, and a wide field of view. It has adjustable elevation and windage settings, and the Anti-reflective coating, unlimited eye relief, multi-coated optics, windage, and elevation adjustments create a sight with optimum performance. It includes an integrated mount and batteries. ALSO INCLUDED, is a Souforce™ 45 Degree adjustable “Flip-Up” Iron Sights (you just turn the gun 45 degrees to use them without moving the scope).

Dressing out the front of the pistol is a flashlight and lazer combination INCLUDED for FREE. These are set up in the pictures for ease of operation with the non-firing hand.

This barrel has a Neat Muzzle Break on the end – it actually enhances the flash rather than suppressing it with its 5 Elongated Spiral Ports and directional stabilization keeping the muzzle quite still until the bullet has left. And it has a deeper tone!

Everything about this pistol confuses me. I have no idea why someone would want a flash enhancer on a 10″ AR pistol, but if you’re going to flashbang someone you might as well bring a light and laser to the party.

The offset sights, to me, are the most confusing part of this pistol. Yes, I could critique the parts chosen for this build all day, but offset iron sights on a red dot pistol is just strange. Sure it works, but it’s just strange.  I guess at this point you might as well have a windowed upper receiver. You know, on the opposite side of your engraved dust cover. For added effect, let’s add what I’d assume is the most uncomfortable charging handle ever created.

AR builds certainly put beauty in the eye of the beholder, and this certainly creates some “interesting” looking firearms. Are there some quality parts in this build? Yes. Do I think it’s worth it for the price?  Absolutely not. However, I’ve been wrong before and that’s why I leave it up to you, the reader, to decide.
