General Barrel Info: The barrel on an AR-15 pistol operates through a 'gas impingement' system, where gas is tapped from off the barrel and cycled back through a connected gas system to help the bolt carrier extract a spent cartridge. Pistol length AR-15 barrels come in two gas lengths, Pistol, Carbine, & Mid-Length. AR-15 Pistol barrels can be chambered in a variety of different calibers from rifle to pistol cartridges. Thanks to the modularity of the AR-15 platform, your next pistol will be incredibly easy.
