AR Pistol 7.5” Gas System

[Stir-Crazy Nomad]

Hey all! Have any of you experimented with a 5.56 AR Pistol with 7.5” barrel that didn’t make you go deaf, have low(er) recoil and doesn’t blow fireballs the size of a VW beetle out the front? Right now I have a Springfield Armory Saint Victor 7.5 Pistol in 5.56 that is stock (as far as the cycling system goes) except a few “bolt-ons” and it’s straight up blinding!! And before you all say that I should search through the forum to find the answer, I’ve searched a lot of places and it seems there is a ton of info but most of it is a 10.5” and/or they’re pushing one product. Just wanted to hear what y’all have done or what you’d recommend.

I recommend getting rid of a 7.5 5.56 and go to a 11.5.

7.5 .300 BO MAYBE but that’s pretty useless.

or just put a suppressor on it and enjoy it beating itself to death lol.

7.5 is brutal in every caliber. I had one in 300BO, 223, and currently run one in 7.62x39. I use a flash can on the front BUT it is still blinding, deafening,and shakes every tooth in your head when it goes bang.
