Years ago, if you owned an AR-style rifle, you wanted a quad rail on your AR-pattern gun so you could mount a laser, a light and all other manner of accessories onto your firearm. This seemed like a good idea, right up until people started carrying those heavy, bulky ARs around and soon found out that every ounce mattered. Lightweight AR-15s then became popular, and the new Balios Lite Gen 2 AR pistols from 2A Armament continue that tradition by offering a lightweight AR platform gun that is still filled with the features that serious shooters want and need.

The 2A Arms Balios Lite Gen 2 pistols feature a 2A Regulated Bolt Carrier for added reliability and and SB Tactical SBA3 Pistol Brace. The trigger sensitivity on the pistol is customizable, giving you an option for either a light or heavy hammer spring.  The lower and upper receiver are both 7075-T6 billet, and the lower has a type-III anodized hard coat that adds incredible durability. The patent-pending regulated bolt carrier utilizes a fully adjustable gas system which is machined and finished using a QPQ process in order to increase corrosion resistance and improve reliability.
