What is the appeal of the Ruger Charger?

and I am not just posting comments without knowledge. The contenders are great had one or two over the years.
Sorry, I guess that came off a little harsh. AR pistols really serve no purpose to me since you can't shoulder them with a brace on and they are awkward to actually shoot as pistols. I'm glad that you like yours but they, just like the Charger, just don't do anything for me.
Why would you have to cut or replace the barrel on a charger? They're already threaded mostly. And it's cheaper to buy an AGP side folder than a new barrel. I'm with @boss_hawg . If you're on a farm roaming the property and see some manner of vermin that needs to be blasterized, this will deploy quicker and still be more accurate than a standard sized pistol.
I agree about the shouldering. However I use the buffer against my cheek. With the 10.5 barrel I also have plenty of foregrip to hold on to. Not much difference between that and shouldering.
If that works for you then great. It doesn't work for me though. I'd rather just carry a rifle, a Thompson Contender or a big bore revolver than an AR pistol or a Charger.
I had 2 Contenders and a butt load of barrels 30/30, 7/30, .223, .22lr, .45/.410. Stupid accurate and a lot of fun. I'd love to take a charger and put a single point sling mount at the very back of it, add an AFG, and a decent red dot. I think it would be a cool trail gun.
Because if you are going to shoot suppressed you want a 4.5" or shorter barrel to keep bulk pack subsonic.
Mine
Different stock
You mean you don't want a heavy ass "pistol" with a big black donkey dick hanging off the back of it that you have to work twice as hard to acquire the sights on?
Well duh. That's what I said. Makes no sense. You'd have to cut and thread the barrel anyway. Might as well buy a rifle. Gotta keep those bulk rounds subsonic. LolBecause if you are going to shoot suppressed you want a 4.5" or shorter barrel to keep bulk pack subsonic.

Oh, is that an option!?! Give me a donkey dick then! Lol. No, I'll keep my donkey dick on my AR until I finally break down and SBR it.You mean you don't want a heavy ass "pistol" with a big black donkey dick hanging off the back of it that you have to work twice as hard to acquire the sights on?
Listen to the ass that posted this^^^^You mean you don't want a heavy ass "pistol" with a big black donkey dick hanging off the back of it that you have to work twice as hard to acquire the sights on?
AR Pistols have more use to me because they are easier to SBR. You just need to add a stock. Also, the Sig Braces are ugly as hell, which is why I prefer the Shockwave Blade.
You really dont have to worry about shouldering it. It's not really built for accuracy, it's built to have a rifle caliber with a 30 round magazine in a compact package. I specifically use mine for when I go out of town and can just throw it in a bag and it's concealed.
As for this... I wouldnt trust my life on a rim fire.
Oh and I didnt SBR it because I dont want to have to inform the ATF every time I leave the state.

Ok we get the point.. You love your AR pistols. No one is saying the Charger should replace them. Obviously you're not going to use a Charger for self defense or killing deer. The OP was about the appeal of the Charger.. I still think the AR comparison applies. They're for people who don't want to SBR for whatever reason.
Well to be fair you can't do that with a 10/22 rifle either. A .22 target "pistol" and a centerfire "pistol" are two different things.
Why do you insist on being so f***ing argumentative not one time have directed my statements towards an individual. Piss off.
