I can get a deal on a few of these, just a little nervous as to how short the barrel is (velocity, etc)

It depends on what your version of a good deal is, and your intended use for the SBR.

If you want a conventional rifle? No, I wouldn't recommend one.
If you want a PDW style firearm? Yes, I would say it would make a decent one, and VLTOR is a good company. If you can get a good price on one, I would buy it, if I were you. Dig around a little, there are some videos of 7.5" barrels performing decently well with newer, more effective loads. |

Interesting, thank you. Any suggestions on which ammo to research? |

Yup. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1758061_7_5__223__AR_pistol_a_legit_short_range_SD_weapon_.html Here's a pretty good start for you. There's another link I saw very recently, but I can't seem to dig it back up. I'll get back to you if I can find it. ETA: The one thing I will tell you, that rifle is going to be very loud. I would definitely consider suppressing it, a few suppressors have come out over the last few years that will warranty a 7.5" AR. |

If this is a 7.5, I would treat it as a fun toy, and not a fighting weapon. I know teams that have engaged at fairly close distance, and been horribly disappointed with that size, even with decent ammo. |

Just got word that it is actually a 9" 416R SS barrel chambered in .223 Wylde 1:8 Twist, and here is a picture of the upper. Im assuming the 9" will make this a more formideable defense weapon? It's almost like a SBR7, atleast visually, but has a different barrel: 
Specifics: "Vltor MUR-1A, Vltor CASV-M handguard with a CCT Defense 9" 416R SS barrel chambered in .223 Wylde 1:8 Twist. Flash Hider is a Smith Enterprise Vortex." |

For legit defensive purposes, nothing shorter than 10.3-10.5"......that's my rule of thumb.
