This is my first pistol build and I have a question about what size hand guard I will need.   I already have the upper and lower and an RRA pistol extension tube (carbine buffer).  I want a barrel in the 10.3" or 10.5" length.  If the gas tube and barrel is carbine length, will any carbine hand guard work or is there a difference between pistol length carbine and rifle length carbine?

Carbine length gas system is the same for both.  Either use a 7" handguard or if you're covering the gas block a 9" will do
