Shark Coast Tactical Topography 5.56 NATO 10.5" 30rd Pistol

Shark Coast Tactical builds the Topography as a short 5.56 NATO AR pistol with a custom Cerakote pattern that gives the model its name. The barrel measures 10.5 inches, wears a black nitride finish and is threaded at the muzzle, which is where most owners of a gun this size end up hanging a linear compensator or a mount to keep the blast pointed forward. The aluminum receiver carries a full Picatinny rail on top, so a red dot sits low and stays put.

An M-LOK handguard covers the barrel, and the slots take a light, a hand stop or a sling mount without adding a rail section. An SB Tactical SBA3 brace rides on the receiver extension, and a polymer grip finishes out the controls. It feeds from a 30 round magazine, which is the standard box for the chambering, so feeding it is never a special order. A 10.5 inch 5.56 gives up velocity compared to a carbine, but what you get back is a package that fits places a full length rifle does not, and inside typical defensive distance the difference on target is small.
