Seems i build a short ar every few years now (braced as i live in the state of chiraq) and upon shooting them im just underwhelmed by them the only bonus to me is that its a nice small package but short of that id rather a 16in rifle setup any day of the week

Anyone else feel the same? Or am i just nuts

Chiraqastan here also....... and I just don't get the very short barreled AR's and "pistols" so popular these days. We can't have a suppressor so the blast and concussion is truly obscene and reliability is always an issue. All my AR's have 20" barrels and the one I sold several years ago had a 26" barrel.

You're right on, I'm not an AR pistol fan.

I eliminated all the pistols 10.5" and 11.5" also...Just not for me & turned them back into rifles.
I like 18", for all a round work... but have them in 16", 18," 20", & 24"...the 24" being on the long side.
