Review: Balios Lite Gen 2 AR Pistol

August 26, 2018 by Muzzle Flash Leave a Comment

The Balios Lite Gen 2 AR Pistol is exceptional for tactical performance. The lightweight, maneuverable platform is perfect for short- and mid-range shooting. Hitting targets on the move with accuracy and limited recoil gives you a major tactical advantage in the field.

Made in Idaho, the Gen 2 AR Pistols are made with American pride by passionate shooters who use the same AR’s they manufacture.

As with all of 2A Armaments products, the highest level machining processes are used to build each component. The lower and upper receivers have a CNC Machined 7075-T6 billet with a flared mag-well on the lower and a slick slide port door on the upper. The bolt and full mass carrier use precision QPQ process and cryogenic for optimum performance and durability in the field.

The trigger has an optional light or heavy hammer spring to fit your trigger sensitivity preference. Every shooter is different on the trigger, and even with that being the case, few firearms offer choices in spring sensitivity. The KAK/Shockwave Tech also stabilizes the pistol for accuracy against successive shots. Keep on hammering and your firearm will remain steady and true.

Made in Idaho, the Gen 2 AR Pistols are made with American pride by passionate shooters who use the same AR’s they manufacture. According to the manufacturer, you won’t find a better performing AR pistol on the market.
