Can shoot it faaairly well to 100 yards.
Barnes 45gr TSX get good expansion and penetration (13"-14").------ Hand loads BTW 
3.750" 604fps BB penetration @41degrees(gel temp, not ambient) 
As an added bonus, the exiting muzzle pressure is 23,546 PSI so it acts as a flash bang in close quarters

Well those hand loads sure work around my biggest complaint about such a setup. I'd want a can on it though, full length rifles are already quite loud and flashy enough for me inside, thanks.

I like 10.5, but to each his own. I've seen tests of bullets expanding well out to 200-250m with them, which is about the farthest I ever shoot anyways.
How well is expansion past HD ranges for your 7.5? ETA: I see you are shooting a pistol. I would not use a pistol for HD regardless of caliber. Get something with a stock. |

Yeah, I think it's pretty viable, but your ears are gonna hurt. Have you tested the Federal 50 gr Varmint round? Heard that is pretty good, polymer tip good expansion and can be had for about 50 cpr on sale. |

How well is expansion past HD ranges for your 7.5? My gel was too small for more testing than what I did here. Last weekend I had a large block that I used to test 50gr TSX at 15 and 50yds. The 50gr I could only get to 2392 FPS, at that speed they would only partially expand to about 0.312". Oddly, about the same expansion and penetration(about 16") at 15 and 50 yards. I assume these 45gr will have similar results at 50yds as they did at 15, and I think 50 is about the max practical range for this maybe 75 or 100. |

For shits and giggles I shot these through my 18" into some 3/8" steel(29 and 41 Rockwell hardness). They run 3347 fps out of it, it is 1:7 twist.
If you were wondering what an inside out 45gr TSX looks like, it is the thing laying on the plate.....

I don't buy factory ammo other than for my carry pistol so I am not really up on the factory rifle offerings. I don't know about the load in question, but most "varmint" loads won't get to the 12 inch mark. Australian Outback loaded with a blitzking seem to be decent rounds and get to the 10 inch mark, which is fairly impressive for varmint bullets. https://youtu.be/mzvgmAljQ4s The bullets to watch right now are Sierra's new tipped match kings. Based off of their OTM Matchkings with a polymer tip added. The tip is designed to give the bullet a better BC, but it also acts as a plunger, causing some fragmentation while leaving the core to penetrate deeply. After people have had a chance to play with them, they may become the new must have round. https://youtu.be/qXBU03vdr2Q Of course, the shortest barrel I've seen used when testing the TMK's is the 11.5 in the video above. I don't know what it will do with the velocity loss out of a 7.5. |

And then it's liable to still be as loud as an un-silenced carbine or rifle. Well the flash wont injure me, how much louder do you think a this 7.5" AR is than a 4" handgun with a comp. barrel? They all seem pretty close, would it be safe to assume the 7.5"AR is 170dB-175dB? 164dB from the 357 mag a fairly common HD round. http://www.freehearingtest.com/hia_gunfirenoise.shtml What is that rule of thumb, a 10dB increase is perceived to be twice as loud.. I think? One of my 155gr 10mm loads for my Glock shows to have 7700 psi exiting muzzle pressure, the 7.5 AR shows 23500 psi, this is high pressure but is there really enough gas volume to cause concussive damage? I should try an experiment in my bullet trap( very small sealed area) and see what each guns concussion alone will do to fragile objects like an egg or something....... .........or maybe not, my carry gun is the only thing left out of the safe anyway everything else stays locked up. |

My 7.5" pistol is a range gun only due to the blast. I have a Noveske KX5 on it, but there's no way I'd want it for HD use. On the rare occasion I shoot it at an indoor range with double hearing protection it still rocks my sinuses. I could see discharging it a hallway disorienting the shooter and the "guest." Same goes for my 10.5". Now, suppressed 220g 300 blackout? That's a different story.

I get the appeal of the ultra short AR. I have a 11.5" SBR as a HDR rifle (with electronic ear pro with it). I am building up a 10.5" .300 blackout, which will start as a pistol. I think the .300 has the advantage out of a short barrel, but those TSX's look pretty good too.

If the round will frag reliably after making decent penetration at your expected (in house, I assume) engagement distance...
Yes If it ice picks or, if you have to use such light bullets that you get shallow fragmentation, you are better off with something else. I run a proper, stocked, 11.5" SBR with a Suppressor. |

Less powder so less blast. Although I don't think the TCM could match the .223, even out of the shorter barrels. Advantages to gas operated rather than recoil, gas operated only requires minor mods to the AR platform. Converting it to recoil operated would require some pretty major modifications. |

It's pretty much the same as the SBR thing but you don't have to ask(and pay) the federal Overlords for permission. Plus it counts for "concealed" carry (e.g. truck gun) in many states where a "rifle" wouldn't. (Can't carry a loaded Personally for HD, I'd pick something else because the "pistol" attribute should be a don't care, and a bullpup with a 16" barrel is more gun for about the same OAL.

Less powder so less blast. Although I don't think the TCM could match the .223, even out of the shorter barrels. Advantages to gas operated rather than recoil, gas operated only requires minor mods to the AR platform. Converting it to recoil operated would require some pretty major modifications.

You could make the TCM gas operated, just use a shorter gas system like RMW and Macon Armory are doing with their pistol caliber ARs. What are the advantages and drawbacks to this?

Current pistol caliber blowback operated ARs don't require any special mods other than the correct bolt, barrel, spring and buffer. |
