I just finished a 7.5 inch pistol build, and the upper came with a aluminum free float tube...... should I keep it or replace it with a railed handguard? The tube isn't really that bad, but you can't attach anything to it..... what say ye, hive mind?

Do you need a bunch of stuff on your pistol?
If yes then yes, if no then no?

My pistol AR's are mostly range toys, YMMV.

Not really...... I built this one as a truck gun, and the only other thing I was going to add was a Griffin Armament brake and blast can

If you like how it looks, keep her.

Many of the new rails, KeyMod or MLOK, give you the ability to add a light if needed.
They are also generally of a smaller profile, making for better ergonomics.
