[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3236842, member: 1132"] Here's my take on it FWIW. AR based SBR: When configured optimally (7-9" .300BLK running supers or 10.5"+ 5.56) it's the ultimate PDW/HD setup, especially when paired with a short, light can. Advantages: Meets even the strictest interpretations and doesn't invite additional scrutiny. Best ergonomics and versatility Drawbacks: Not legal for routine carry outside the home in most places. Cost & wait for the tax stamp, + engraving the lower. Resale is time consuming and best to just part it out. AR based pistol: The next best thing to an SBR for the above mentioned uses. Advantages: Meets the legal requirements for carry outside the home in more locations, costs less, can be immediately resold if necessary. Legal in more states than an SBR. Drawbacks: Not quite as ergonomic, draws more public scrutiny, may be banned overnight via executive [s]fiat[/s] overreach. Based on current legalities, I'd opt for an 8" .300BLK pistol running supers for HD and vehicle carry. I would not carry one on the body unless I was unexpectedly separated from my vehicle, due to unforeseen and hostile circumstances. In it's HD and mounted carry roles, it has the advantages of superior ballistic performance, range and accuracy when compared to a handgun. for quick trips across state lines, it's just easier and covers more ground legally than an SBR. In the event of mass civil unrest, it has a better "visual deterrent effect" than a handgun while trying to move to a more secure location, and is definitely superior in a suppression role should it come to that. While the likelihood of needing one for that role is still relatively small, it's better to have and not need than vice versa. Ultimately I'd prefer to have a SBR for HD and an AR pistol for everything else. It's nice to have options! :) [/QUOTE]
