AR Manufacturer Enters Handgun Market



Accuracy, reliability and American pride. They are qualities DoubleStar builds into each of its many AR-15 offerings. Now, the Kentucky-based manufacturer is bringing those same attributes down to size by building them into its first-ever handgun.

Checked out their website and couldn't find anything other than rifle info.  This definitely peaks my interest though, since I'm always in the market for a 1911 and, of course, I am a Kentucky boy.  Any idea when these are supposed to become available, Marshal?

From one KY boy to another...Bud's guns just put an ad up for these on their website, so they must be available now.

I don't need another 1911....I don't need another 1911....I don't need another 1911.  It's not working.  My interest is peaked

That's a good looking pistol.

Heck....another $1200.00 pistol on the 1911 pattern.  Hmmmmm....Kimber, Springfield, STI....et al, ad nauseum...nothing new under the sun here.  BUT....heck again...different strokes for different folks.  It may be a $1200 pistol that is actually worth every penny.

I am sure not going to pee in anyone's pocket for trying to make something for gun folks...especially if it is a good product.
God bless, and sincere thanks to all our fine people in uniform.  You pay for our freedom, and for that we owe you all we can give you.  Thank you.

I don't know if I have ever seen a bad looking 1911.
