Angstadt Arms of Charlotte, North Carolina, is a newer company that specializes in making AR-15-style carbines, pistols and short-barreled rifles (SBRs) that use Glock magazines and dedicated receivers rather than a mil-spec design. Angstadt’s firearms are chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W or .357 SIG, and the company also makes select-fire units for police and military units. Angstadt also sells stripped receiver sets and caliber conversion kits, all of which use 100-percent American-made parts.

Though 9mm carbines that use Glock magazines are hardly novel, Angstadt Arms makes a complete rifle that has the same controls as the AR-15 and uses Glock magazines.
