  • I still prefer a 2-point sling for AR-style pistols. It’s easier to brace if you have the front sling mount right in front of your support hand to push on. Blue Force Gear Vickers sling is quality. You might still be able to sign up for the cop/military discount without having to provide proof on their website. The quick adjust feature is nice for using this bracing method.

    That said, I would not get a 223/556 this short ever. First and foremost, I doubt it would function reliably with such little dwell time. The fireball and recoil will be awful. I think even 10.5" is a bit too short for that caliber. You aren’t even getting enough speed to get good tumbling and fragmentation on impact. It’s a total waste of what that cartridge was designed for. You’d just making a .22" little hole in your target.

    Why not get a 300 blackout or pistol-caliber carbine? Those cartridges are designed for barrels that short and they make bigger holes.

    If you just want a cheap AR, there are much better options for that price.

    That’s a false dichotomy. High rises aren’t even materially efficient. All that weight requires more reinforcing material.

    The Vienna socialist housing projects are decent examples. Mostly mid-rises and their one high-rise isn’t a spartan, drab eyesore.

    It’s not a trade-off, it’s just shitty thoughtless design.
