[QUOTE="BrandonM, post: 3917375, member: 6435"] So since I have no real world experience it’s probably best I throw my 2 cents out there. As previously mentioned, nearly all civilian gun fights will be fairly close up. That may change a bit if the world goes Mad Max but even then an SBR or AR pistol should have the distance capabilities to do what you need. In many parts of Oklahoma a 500yd shot isn’t even possible due to terrain and foliage and in the places it is possible it’s probably never going to be necessary. Just wait for the bad guys to wonder off and keep quiet while they do; they’re 500yds away for crying out loud! As for the practical side of things smaller and lighter weight is always good, unless we’re talking long range accuracy. A normal person would be much happier at the end of a long day on the homestead, farming and such, having carried a 5-6lb AR pistol on a sling or pistol on his hip as opposed to a 8-10lb, 20” AR set up for distance. Size and weight matter when carrying anything all day long. This is why the Sig P365 and everything else like it are so popular. We have open carry and constitutional carry laws in place now.
