Have you seen the ones that are nj legal? They are stripped down and so fugly. Not even worth it IMO.

NJ law does not define "detachable magazine" as does CA law, which allows the use of the "Bullet Button" (essentially requiring a tool to remove the mag).

 

Unless the magazine was not removable (ie. welded in place) your non-NJ-legal AR pistol will not meet the requirements of the PRNJ.

 

And in order to load it, you would have to pull the rear pin and tilt the upper to gain access to the top of the fixed mag, load the fixed mag, lower the upper and re-pin it. A bit tedious to say the least.  Stripper clips might make it a little easier.

 

As for NJ-compliant AR pistols being 'fugly', IMHO fugly is in the eye of the beholder.

I own 2 of them (a Bushmaster and a ProOrd) and they are a ton of fun to shoot, regardless of what anyone thinks they look like.

That must kick like a beast.  A 223 rounds thru that light pistol.

Nope, the muzzle brake on it is surprisingly effective.

I am confused! I could swear I read that if the mag does not go into the grip then it's a no go. Enlighten me?

The following are examples of manufacturer changes that do not alter the essential nature of the firearm: the name or designation of the firearm; the color of the firearm; the material used to make the barrel or stock of the firearm; the material used to make a pistol grip; and a modification of a pistol grip. This is not an exclusive list. A semi-automatic firearm should be considered to be "substantially identical," that is, identical in all material respects, to a named assault weapon if it meets the below listed criteria:

 

ii. A semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:

(1) An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;

(2) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;

(3) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned;

(4) Manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and/or

(5) A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm
