My gf would say yes, but what do you think 10.5 or 7.5 inch? which size barrel do you prefer and why? Cbq Cycling Handling Wannabe sbr? |

What we think doesn't matter...
Until you tell us; What are YOU going to DO with it? 
What caliber? 5.56? What barrel? Twist? Goals? Are you going to be blasting 55gr at a piece of paper close enough to set it ablaze as well? Or lobbing 75+gr at a target 200yds away? Gonna SBR it down the road? My last two have been 7.5" and I like them short. Neither have been 5.56...

| I have a pistol in both sizes and I like the 7.5 inch best. It is just as reliable as the 10.5 inch but in a smaller package and IMO a bit more fun. Screw any notion of a ballistic advantage for my uses. Are you really going to be using your AR pistol for serious use? If so, then maybe an extra three inches matters but not if you are just burning ammo with yours like I am mine. If I am going to do any serious work the last thing I am going to grab is an AR pistol, not when there are so many better choices in the rack. YMMV. |

Quoted:
If you intend on using a suppressor with this weapon then I'd go longer. From what I understand, hardly any suppressor manufacturers will warrant their suppressors on a 7.5" barrel. this is my concern, as I was looking at the shorter, and now considering the longer |
