I think there would be added stress being a pistol and it concerns me. You can do a quick google search and see pictures from several examples of the polymer pistols failing. Another member mentioned the EXTAR. I bought one from JOEBOBOUTFITTERS.COM and I absolutely loved it. It was very lightweight and not "AR" like at all. At the same time I had a PLR16 and they were my two favorite guns. They litterally shot fire. I had the cops called because my "neighbor" a 1/2 mile away thought I was shooting something illegal, and in their backyard.
