Tennessee-based gun maker Barrett has announced it is now offering its popular REC7 DI in an AR-style pistol configuration.

Shooting Illustrated reports that the new REC7 DI pistol —available in both 5.56 NATO and .300 BLK—sports a 10.25-inch stainless steel match grade barrel with Barrett’s own muzzle device to reduce recoil. The pistol also boasts an oversized charging handle for easy racking; Barrett BRS handguard with KeyMod attachment points; continuous flattop rail; gas block with a nut-retention device; and a Magpul MOE pistol grip, triggerguard and 20-round PMAG.

The REC7 DI pistol comes with a Tailhook MOD 1 pistol brace made by Gear Head Works. This compact brace is less than one inch thick; features a solid aluminum construction; and fastens to pistol buffer tubes that range in diameter from 1.17 to 1.2 inches, Shooting Illustrated says.
