Not sure if this is the right place for this, so mods feel free to move it if it is not.
I have been wanting to assemble an ar pistol and hope to do it this year. My plan is to use it as my primary HD gun. I am still trying to decide between 5.56 and 300 blackout. I have a 5.56 rifle, so I could use the same ammo with a 5.56 pistol. The 300 blackout appeals to me due to it being designed around shorter barrels, and still performing well when I eventually get a suppressor. From what I have learned so far 5.56 loses ALOT when using this configuration. I do not reload, so 300 would add cost on ammo. Any thoughts from people who have experience with this would be appreciated.
