Less costly to SBR (well, more or less)

Can try it out and make sure it runs before getting a tax stamp for it, which is really the big benefit.

They are a great way to enjoy your SBR while waiting for the stamp to come back. Shooting them as is can be tough, but you can always fashion a short sling and attach it to the rear of the receiver. push the weapon away from you to create tension and it makes a pretty stable shooting platform. SIG is great for that.

Now we have to justify having certain types of firearms by proving their practicality?  

How about this: Enough people want them, therefore they exist.  Their practicality is their ability to satisfy the desire of those people to have one.

Easy to SBR

Put a sling on the back and push out.  They shoot fine that way.

In some states you can only CCW a pistol.  Throw that bitch in a backpack and you become a Zen Mall Ninja.

I built/assembled an AR pistol because 1) I simply can and wanted to 2) Liberals hate them.

Yes, but only to get around stupid  federal and state laws. If not for those laws, this kind of firearm would not exist as everyone looking for a compact rifle/pdw would get something with at least a folding stock

No shit.

I have an M92. I plan to SBR it.

As far as blaming people who own them for the ban of AP ammo... let's leave the fault where it belongs; with the politicians who created the law.

An SBR is a Rifle, and therefore illegal to carry in the front seat loaded and uncased in my state.



A pistol, I can lay on the front seat.




The law doesn't specify if it's an AR-15 pistol or a PF-9.




Practical reasons are basically "use from or getting in and out of a car."

Question is with such a short barrel, will your "rifle's" rounds have enough velocity to fragment reliably/properly inside soft tissue? I personally do not see a super short SBR as a respectable self defense weapon unless you specifically want the capability to perforate soft body armor. Without reliable fragmentation you're using a high capacity .22. I'd rather use a 9mm with Federal HSTs/Winchester Ranger/Speer Gold Dots if that's the case. Smaller and should provide more tissue damage. Maybe I'm ignorant though.

Depends on the round. 7.62x39 loses very little velocity from an M92 vs a normal AK barrel for example, so...it's perfectly viable in that short a package.

Now, 5.56...different story.

The probability that you'd need to hit a target in some sort of justified defensive situation at 300 yards is practically non existent.

are you saying a 123g SST out of that 8" (appears to be around 8") barrel is similar to a .22lr?
ETA: or a 62g TSX (for the 556 offerings)
