Re: SBR or pistol

As far as SBR vs. Pistol, as others have said, six of one - half a dozen of another. There are pros and cons to both. I do not have an SBR but will likely pull the stamp for at least one of my pistols to be able to swap for reasons mentioned.

Caliber is another topic. I do not own a 5.56 short barrel but I have shot enough of them to know it is trending to the unpleasant side. The blast is abrupt and the flash can be impressive. I chose to go with the 300 BO and find there is no, or almost no flash, and the blast is comparable to a handgun. My shortest is a 7.5" barrel and it shoots as well as I can. I have never shot a pistol caliber SBR so I can't speak there.

The nice thing is, if you get a SBR/Pistol in 5.56 you can always swap a 300 BO barrel on to the upper if you desire.
