I will be building my Sbr soon with a 11.5 upper and have many options so I wanted opinions. Do some or most of you use the Sbr as your first line of defense or not? I am planning on putting Troy flip ups on it and not sure if I should keep my Aimpoint Pro on it with a flashlight as well?

Should I keep it simple and leave flip ups on it and just a flashlight? This will be my road gun for frequent trips within my state just in case I run into some real knuckleheads on the road.

I also need a low key way of carrying the Sbr from car to the car like a tennis racket holder if anyone has a suggestion on that as well.

Thanks

I do a red dot and BUIS sights, personally I like the steel Magpuls for the BUIS. A flashlight is a must on any rifle imo.

Quality RDS and a light.

Don't forget a sling!

On my 11.9 Sbr I got an Aimpoint Micro and flashlight. I think as said before that could be the correct setup for home and car defense. Magpul BUIS is my choice too.

this skip the BUIS  and I think ROTECHS are better on a pistol the reticel gets larger the further away it gets from the shooters eye. making it more like a ghost ring with a circle in it. as for lights a TLR-HL1 is a very light small 600lumen option.

I have a 10.3" .300BLK pistol that will (hopefully) soon be an SBR. I currently have a lgiht and a set of Magpul MBUS sights, will be moving my RDS over to it once I get a LPVO for my 16" rifle.

At a minimum, a good RDS and a flashlight, a set of flipup irons will be good in the case of a dead battery.

I've heard good things about the Sneaky Bags and they come in multiple different lengths.

my Mk18 indexes fairly quickly for me with just the carry handle sights and front sight post... just a light... I have a 10.5" pistol upper with a Vortex Spitfire that has the reticle etched on the prism that I use occasionally on the SBR lower for run and gun matches... that way I still have a sight if the light doesn't work

I actually Googled ROTECH sight like I was missing out on something, then I figured out what you meant.

I tend to prefer a simple, clean carbine for HD.  I have two setup. 

For myself, I like my 16" BCM, DD A1.5 BUIS, Surefire G2X on a VTAC mount.  A red dot is very nice to have, but not a necessity for me for a strictly indoor carbine.  My carbines that do dual purpose all have optics.  

For my wife, I have a 11.5" BCM SBR, Aimpoint Pro, MBUS Rear (FSB front), and a Streamlight Tac2 setup.  Simple and clean, she doesn't shoot much, so a RDS is much more important for her, than for me.

Waiting on 2 stamps for my MPX, but when that's in that'll be the go-to over the pistol.

4.5in bbl, suppressor, Tritium HK height BUIS, Dual Illuminated RMR triangle co-witnessed, Light, sling.  BUIS left up -- basically these are primary sights at night with this setup, then the RMR pops during the day.  Don't have to mess with anything.

My 11.5 BCM frankengun is my primary rifle and I use it all the time.  So you're talking Aimpoint, MBUS, 2-point sling, and light.  I wouldn't be caught dead without any of those on my main rifle.

Look at the protac 1l rail model.

Have one on my 11.5 and love it

I have my MK18 set up with a M300 light, sling and a set of DD sights.  I actually like the little rifle better with only irons.  I only shoot close range with it.  I have put an acog on it just to try it out at longer distances and was surprised at how accurate it was.
