Full description and what we offer

Shield Arms manufactures a line of purpose-built folding rifles and pistols that solve a real problem: how to get a full-size rifle or pistol into a compact package without the bulk and failure points of adapter-based systems.

The SA-15 is Shield Arms' flagship product—a complete folding AR-15 built around their patented Folding Lower Receiver (FLR). The mechanism is integrated directly into the receiver. No separate adapter. No moving parts to break. Folds down to just 20.5" for storage or transport.

Available configurations: - SA-15 Folding 16" ELITE Rifle ($1,899) – Top-tier build with 7075-T6 billet receivers - SA-15 Folding 16" PRO Rifle ($1,499) – Premium complete rifle, made in USA - SA-15 Folding 11.5" Pro Pistol ($1,499.95) – Shorter barrel, folds to 20.5" - SA-15 Builders Kit ($599.95) – DIY option with billet upper/lower, 15" M-LOK handguard, H2 buffer - SA-15 Stripped Folding Lower Receiver ($375) – Just the receiver for custom builds

All models are 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction with custom Cerakote finishes (Black, Fallout, Montana Mud, Pineland). Each comes with a lifetime warranty.

The SA-9 Gen 2 uses the same folding lower receiver technology but chambered in 9mm. It accepts standard Glock double-stack magazines—no proprietary ammo required.

Shield Arms made their name with the S15 magazine system—a flush-fitting 15-round steel magazine for Glock 43X and 48 that gives you 50% more capacity without printing or compromising concealment.
