What Is the Best SBR for Police Work?

Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “What Is the Best SBR for Police Work?” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/what-is-the-best-sbr-for-police-work/.

I do not think this article is about the title at all (What Is the Best SBR for Police Work?) This is a SAINT Victor SBR review, which is a great rifle indeed.

Something in 300 blackout would probably be best.

I've always felt that the M1 Carbine is a much better CQB/Patrol Rifle. Short, light, low recoil, quick and easy to handle with more than enough power without overdoing it.
I've never been comfortable with 5.56 in an urban environment due to over penetration issues.

Really? I thought most people complained about the lack of penetration by the 5.56 compared to other rifle rounds. FWIW, I like the M1 Carbine also!

M193 tumbles, M855 makes a little hole.

IMO an SBR would be more effective in areas with relatively close shooting distances, and not in parts of the country with longer ones.

Couldn't agree more, and it also makes an EXCELLENT home defense weapon. Two more advantages for HD use: Much lower noise level, and if you have to actually use the thing, you won't have to worry about some Deputy District Attorney with political ambitions waving an "evil assault weapon" around in front of a jury. Instead, they'll be seeing a rifle very similar to one in a beloved elder relative's WWII pictures, or maybe a neighbor's fun plinking rifle (10/22).

I own several ARs and 12-gauge "social shotguns," but my go-to gun for home defense for nearly 40 years now is this 1943 Inland, shown here with a much newer Air Venturi/Springfield Armory CO2/BB M1 that handles and operates EXACTLY the same way and can be shot in my basement for proficiency practice anytime I want, day or night, rain or shine.

Time to class this thread up.
I’m bringing this Craigslist hooker to the prom.

It would get the job done no doubt, but here again, I'd just as soon rather not have the local Deputy District Attorney with political ambitions parade a Craigslist hooker around before the grand jury.

I was being facetious. lol

Yes, I speak fluent sarcasm. Loved the "Craigslist hooker" thing, though--I'm stealing that and will be using it a LOT in everyday conversation.

My MP5 was such....Fahrvergnügen. have I told y'all how much I miss my MP5?

This is my HK SP-5 although semi auto only, it's the closest I can have to a real MP5. Made into an SBR and everything I have for it is all original Hk. Really fun to shoot.

An incredibly accurate and versatile plarform.
