It's a different carrier with the spring under the handguard just like you're suggesting.
I can't recall at the moment which manufacturer makes a pistol like that, but there is a guy on ARFCOM who built one himself that looks pretty cool with the charging handle on the left of the handguard.
Personally I think having the buffer tube is good. Without a buffer tube or a very short one, you can't bring it up to you check to sight it. You just point and spray. A laser would be handle on such a thing with no buffer tube to rest your check on.
Movie fact: William Defoe's character in "Clear and Present Danger" carriered ar AR pistol and used it in the scene where they were escaping the BG's compound.

Maybe it's some kind of piston setup with the recoil spring under the handguards, i don't know.
