10 inch barrel will have a little more punch than 2 will, won't it?
Balllistics by the inch looks like you pick up a few hundred FPS with a carbine vs a compact pistol |
Until you get to non-tax stamp length (16") in which case you are back down to about what a 4.5=5" barrel duty pistol gives you.
The big advantage though is accuracy. While I don't shoot nearly as much pistol as I do rifle, my AR9 lets me shoot teh same size groups at 100 yards that I do with a pistol at 15 yards.
