Yeah is say 10.5” Is minimum with alot of people really liking 11.5/12.5@Jds556762 so for pistol builds 10.5" barrels are the best go to?

Pin/weld what I'm doing might be a 13.8. Gonna get exactly 16"really? 14" might as well go rifle only 2 inches off
I LOVE 14.5” you’d be surprised how much differently it handles compared to a 16”really? 14" might as well go rifle only 2 inches off
You’ll be back. Nobody ever leavesI’m done with the internet. This is my exit.
I bet. I think the difference between an 18" & a 16 " rifle is incredible.I LOVE 14.5” you’d be surprised how much differently it handles compared to a 16”
Come run my 8.1" with a can.Also dwell time
12.5 at a minimum unless you are going to suppress it........or love low velocity neutered ballistics, random reliability and the occasional popped primer that locks up you trigger like somebody dumped JB Weld in the housing. 11.5 works fine I guess, but 1 additional inch of barrel will give you a pretty good boost in unsuppressed reliability, worth it to me. Remember that short barrels are hard on internals. The gas required to make things work with the short dwell time means bolt carrier assembly velocities that are on the top end of the reliability curve. That means recoil springs and hammer springs (the most overlooked spring that plays a big part in taming the over gassed system) will need to be replaced at a much shorter interval than the standard 14.5 inch carbine...around the 4000 round mark. 11.5 need to be replaced at 3500 round mark.@Jds556762 so for pistol builds 10.5" barrels are the best go to?

You might as well be shooting a 22lr with the 5.56 velocity you get out of an 8.5.......just saying.Can't put'em all in the same circle.
8.1" suppressed/unsuppressed running reliably that exspells all un-used gasses forward and being gentle while doing so.
Not to mention it runs ultra clean.

Enjoy the wait, My order was placed April 29th. Still waiting
I dunno 2300FPS is still faster than a 22lrYou might as well be shooting a 22lr with the 5.56 velocity you get out of an 8.5.......just saying.
I'll ask you what I ask everyone else. Would you run infront of it? The AKS-74U has a 8.1" barrel as well shooting a similar caliber.You might as well be shooting a 22lr with the 5.56 velocity you get out of an 8.5.......just saying.
That’s the opposite of my usual experience lolSo I ordered a red dot the other day and it just showed up. According to the tracking number it's still awaiting pickup for shipment.
And 200 to 300 foot per second at the muzzle below the velocity to produce the wounding mechanism that makes 5.56 an effective combat load. If we are talking punching paper, it's moot. But if we are talking self defense, even at close quarters, well...............just saying.I dunno 2300FPS is still faster than a 22lr
