Just like handguns, AR pistol manufacturers have been trying to figure out how to make their guns smaller and more compact for years now. One company took compact to a whole new level and may very well be changing the way we look at AR pistols again. That company is FoldAR. Owned and operated by Corby Hall, who is no newcomer to designing guns having helped LWRCI design it’s REPR in 2005. He also had a hand in the Daniel Defense DD5 in 2011.

The Rock River Arms RUK-15 AR pistol is perfect for personal defense in the home or vehicle.

FoldAR Pistol Details

FoldAR is a veteran owned and operated company, and all parts are proudly built in the USA. The company manufactures many of its own components and is currently offering its designs in a bi-fold pistol configuration as well as a single-fold rifle configuration. Both come offered in .223/5.56 or .300 Blackout configurations. I got my hands on the pistol chambered in 223/556 for testing.

The pistol looks like pretty much any other AR pistol during firing, but it folds down to just over 10 inches total length and fits right into a tiny sling-style backpack for deep concealment and simple transportation. The pistol brings an MSRP of $2,399, which is a bit on the higher side in today’s market but not terrible considering what you are getting.

To fold the pistol, all you have to do is press a little steel button on the bottom of the brace to fold the brace in and pull the tab on the side of the rail to open the locking lever hook assembly. This unlocks the barrel and rail from the rest of the upper and allows it to swing over and lock, using a little locking lug that fits into a hole in the rail. It only takes a matter of seconds to open or close. The pistol also features a modified and shortened bolt carrier group to accommodate the folding abilities of the brace. I know what you are thinking, does it run? The answer is simple, hell yeah it runs.

The FoldAR folds twice to measure just 10 inches overall.

Running the FoldAR Pistol

Shooting the FoldAR feels like shooting any other AR Pistol really. I was able to get around 500 rounds through it during testing with two malfunctions. Some garbage .223 reloaded ammo I found caused both malfunctions. I found that it had issues in two other ARs I tried it in as well. I love the fact you can lock the bolt back and keep the pistol in the backpack with a full 20 round magazine loaded. Then when you deploy it, all you need to do is drop the bolt and you have a round chambered. If you are looking for a fantastic vehicle gun that can easily be concealed in a backpack, that will also pique the curiosity of any gun nut, look no further than foldar.com.

The FoldAR ran well during all testing.
