DRACO AK47 pistol, TT3 3-point sling, test 1

Testing the DRACO pistol with Tactical Toolbox TT3 3 point sling. In this first test, I had the sling tightened up pretty good and I think control was better. The fear the gun was going to smack my face was real. It took a hunk outta my mustache in a clip chopped from this. Would make for a good gag reel. While the TT3 sling is the most stabilizing setup to use, it still doesn't really help enough to tame the straight back recoil.

This is part of the ongoing quest to find decent CCW options for people who cannot or will not do the SBR route. At this point, the AR15 pistol concept is still the most viable option.

How many times do you break your nose per month shooting it that close to your face?

@mercturd85 Never as I discontinued use of that setup after testing an FSC47 brake on it. Nothing is taming the recoil down to where it's usable.

hmm...

Is that Zach Galifianakis?

Hmm... Hmmm...........Hmmm !

@jcodym13 I was hoping it would behave better than it did and be able to replace the need for an SBR for the folks who can't get one.

@tacticaltoolbox i wasnt making fun of your judgement if thats what you think, i know the ATF identifies it as a pistol. its just kind of funny that it looks more like a SBAR than a Pistol.

@onetaothree It really wasn't an issue of hitting me as much as controlability. If you check out my other vids testing an AR pistol. See how the muzzle lays a lot flatter? I didn't feel like the Draco was remotely as controlable as it would be as with a stock on it. The AR pistol, in comparison is a lot closer to its stocked counterparts.

@tacticaltoolbox I would just maybe try holding about 2" further away from your face. It's a reality of pistol grips on rifle caliber pistols and shotguns too. I had a pistol grip on my Remington 870, and let's just say I learned the hard way to give it some more room between the weapon and my face.

@jcodym13 What is it, then? It's classified by the ATF as a pistol. Such are registration and possession laws. An animal like this does not exist anywhere but where regulation forces it to exist.

@onetaothree It was the first time trying it. In testing it with the sling for a press-out test, it wasn't nearly stable enough. It's an issue of the hands and sling setup still not able to properly stabilize during recoil so that I felt like it was going to hit me in the face. I had previously tried it with the sling loosened up more and it felt less stable yet.

Those "hmmms" sound like maybe this is your first time trying that weapon out and you don't much like how it shoots ... ? Everybody hate unsolicited advice but I would hold the weapon a little further away from your face and bring it down, arching your back into a hunch a little. That lowers the axis of the bore relative to the structure of your body, and absorbs more recoil while allowing you to maintain a more stable shooting position. Hope this helps. :-)
