In the process of getting my SIG SBR with a 10" barrel. How lethal is this rifle distance wise without buying really expensive ammo? I got rid of my 16" AR shortly afterwards. I know my new rifle will not reach out and touch someone like a 16" barrel. So I was just curious. Thx for your input.

Not a dumb question at all. It will be effective out to 300M, but keep in mind the limited velocity will have an effect on the frangmentation range of the 5.56 round. I don't know the stats off the top of my head but I know it's less than 100M. The SIG webpage (Europe) states the 552 Commando to have a 300M effective range.

My department switched to the select fire 10.5 inch Sig556 about a year ago.  So far nothing but good.  Great rifle and fit in the patrol vehicle as well.  I have been shooting out to 200 yards with nothing but hits on the steel.
