Spike's Tactical Rare Breed Crusader 5.56 NATO 11.5" Pistol

The Rare Breed Crusader is Spike's Tactical's dressed-up AR pistol in 5.56 NATO. It runs an 11.5" cold hammer forged barrel with a black phosphate finish, threaded 1/2-28 and capped with a muzzle brake. A 10" M-LOK handguard gives you room for a light, a vertical grip or a hand stop without crowding the barrel. The receiver is aluminum with a black hard coat anodized finish, and the Crusader helmet artwork is done in a distressed finish that sets it apart from a plain black build.

It comes set up to shoot: a pistol stabilizing brace on the back, flip up front and rear sights, a mil-spec trigger and an ambidextrous safety, so lefties get a selector they can run with the thumb. At about 6 pounds it is light enough to carry and still has the mass to keep a 5.56 flat. No magazine is included, and the overall length runs 27.75" to 30.5" depending on brace position. This is a compact, ready to run AR pistol with a lot of character for a truck gun, a home defense setup or a range day where you want something a little different.
