SALIENT ARMS GRY PISTOL | FIRST MAG REVIEW

About this video

Colion reviews and field-tests the Salient Arms GRY pistol (an AR-platform pistol with an 11-inch barrel and SB Tactical brace). He breaks down his optic and accessory choices, explains his preference for variable-power scopes and flat-face triggers, and demonstrates the platform’s balance, recoil management, and performance both unsuppressed and suppressed. Colion argues this configuration is becoming his preferred direct-impingement 5.56 setup for urban distances, praising its balance and the legal flexibility of the pistol format over an SBR.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains that shorter AR pistols (11 inches) can balance exceptionally well when weight is centered over the magazine well, making them feel lighter and more intuitive to handle than longer or poorly balanced configurations
• According to Colion, modern variable-power optics (like a true 1-4x) offer significant advantages over fixed red dots, especially as prices drop and technology improves
• Colion teaches that AR pistols with braces offer legal advantages over SBRs, allowing more flexibility in transport without ATF notification requirements
