I see people on forums who add a stock to a sig 556 pistol and claim it is the ultimate defensive carbine, but the performance from that abrrel must Suck, bad. I lvoe when people buy a 14.5 inch barrel, pay the tax stamp and all, when it cant do anything a 16 inch can't do. One guy said short barrels help you dismount a vehicle under fire better......I think random teams of heavily armed tangos will engage you on your way to the grocery store. My 870s barrel is 20 inches and i can room clear jsut fine and dismount a car if necessary, which it isn't.
As for recent sig products, what's with the mustang clone? It even takes colt mags, but I don't see how SAO is desirable on a pocket gun. Last edited by k9870; 04-04-2009 at 07:28 PM.

If they added a stock, they've made an illegal carbine unless they pay their tax stamps. Because now it is a pistol with a stock (or a very short barreled carbine) and no longer a pistol.

I keep hearing that with Law Enforcement and military magazines that shorter barrels on rifles are effective when you get out of you vehiecles.

I understand LE uses of carbines, especially whith jsp or jhp ammo, but as a military weapon you are limited to FMJs, need velocity, and need to compromise between manuverability room clearing and being able to engage distant targets. Police officers don't need to make 200 yard shots.
