Y’know, there’s a certain logic to this if you think about it from a Big Green executive perspective. The current trend is pistol versions of rifles, so why wouldn’t a pistol version of their most popular rifle sell well?
Sure, because it won’t take a pistol brace- look at that weird ass nub-, it’s not semi-automatic, etc etc etc, but there’s a certain logic to it. Fucking stupid logic, but logic nonetheless.
