Owners of the DPMS Kitty Kat generally pick it up as a compact range toy or home-use AR pistol, and most report it delivers on that premise. The 7.5-inch barrel in 5.56 is a specific choice, and buyers tend to be realistic about the ballistic trade-offs that come with it. The C7 carry handle and A2 grip give it a retro aesthetic that some find appealing and others find dated.

The CAR brace gets mixed reviews. It functions as intended, but owners who have used other braces sometimes find it less comfortable during extended sessions. The Flat Dark Earth finish is consistent and holds up well under normal range conditions, which is a common positive observation.

The Kitty Kat sits in an interesting spot for value. Buyers who want an AR pistol configuration with a factory brace and a distinctive look see it as a solid entry. Those who prefer a more modern handguard and furniture setup often treat it as a base to build from, which is a common use pattern for this platform.
