The WORKHORSE pistol from Battle Arms Development delivers a compact, feature-rich AR-15 platform built around forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers, an 11-inch threaded barrel, and fully ambidextrous controls.

The 11-inch barrel is threaded 1/2-28 and ready for muzzle devices or suppressor mounting. Coupled with a direct-impingement, carbine-length gas system, it balances reliability with reduced recoil impulse in a compact footprint.
Battle Arms equips the WORKHORSE with fully ambidextrous controls: BAD-ASS Pro 60-degree safety selector, enlarged ambi magazine release, ambi bolt catch, and an ambi charging handle featuring dual talon latches. These enhancements allow intuitive operation for both right- and left-handed shooters.
The free-float Midwest Industries aluminum handguard provides ample M-LOK slots for accessories while keeping weight down. A Type III hard-coat anodized finish on both the handguard and forged receivers offers abrasion resistance and a uniform, matte appearance.
An adjustable brace and B5 Systems Type 23 pistol grip give shooters ergonomic support. Weighing about 5.6 lb and measuring roughly 26–29 in overall, the WORKHORSE stays light enough for dynamic use yet stable enough for accurate fire.
