Rock River Arms Expands LAR-15 Pistol Line

Two New AR-Pattern Pistols to Feature SB Tactical Braces

Colona, IL– Rock River Arms, the leader in specialized Modern Sporting Rifles and purpose-built tactical firearms, adds two new 5.56 NATO chamber pistols to their LAR-15 line. These new semi-auto pistol variants were developed to provide enhanced stability and improved overall performance of the AR pistol platform.

The new A4 5.56 NATO-chambered pistols feature the field-proven SBX-K Pistol Stabilizing Brace designed by SB Tactical. The SBX-K is a shortened version of the original SBX brace, with a lower profile for improved operational handling and on-the-go maneuverability. The advantage of the SBX-K brace is that it offers an additional contact point for shooters beyond the grip and pistol fore end. When used in compliance with applicable jurisdiction laws, the SBX-K brace provides the shooter the option of a cheek weld or securing the brace to the forearm (via an adjustable hook-and-loop strap) for improved stability, muzzle control, and accuracy. As a BATF-compliant part for legal use on a pistol platform, the addition of the SBX-K brace on the new LAR-15 models makes these pistols a viable and reliable option for those looking for a compact at-home or on-the-go personal defense firearm.

The Rock River Arms A4 pistols come in two configurations—one with a 7-inch barrel and 6-inch extended length aluminum free-float RRA lightweight handguard, and one with a 10.5-inch barrel and 9.25-inch mid-length lightweight aluminum free-float RRA handguard. Both RRA handguards are M-LOK compatible for accommodating desired accessories. Chambered in 5.56 NATO for use with 5.56mm or .223 ammo, the A4 pistols with the SBX-K arm brace utilize chrome-lined barrels for durability and long life, RRA’s forged LAR-15 lower receiver, an A4 upper with Picatinny rails that witness to the handguard rails, a single-stage trigger, and a rubber molded Hogue grip.

Tucson Council to Discuss Radical Change to Firearm Procurement

The Tucson City Council on Dec. 4 is expected to discuss a radical change to the city’s procurement process for the acquisition of firearms. If Ward 6 Councilman Steve Kozachik has his way, the city would be prohibited from doing business with any firearm retailer who sells “military-style” weapons to the public or isn’t deemed a “socially responsible dealer”. In his letter to Mayor Rothschild requesting discussion on the issue, Councilman Kozachik fails to define what constitutes a “military-style” weapon nor does explain what guns a “socially responsible gun dealer” would be permitted to sell.

Arizona law specifically prohibits local governments from enacting “any ordinance, rule or tax relating to the transportation, possession, carrying, sale, transfer, purchase, acquisition, gift, devise, storage, licensing, registration, discharge or use of firearms or ammunition.” Read more
