CMMG Banshee - Anyone familier with it?

If I felt the need for a pistol caliber carbine I would go with one of these.

I've seen some video of the 10mm, and if i had a pistol in that caliber id be tempted.

Hitchcock 45 has some videos on them.

I think you have his question backward he was asking about rifle calibers in a pistol..  223 8" barrel, etc?

The OP was talking about a 10mm ar styled pistol. Most of us understand that it is the desire to a "pistol" with rifle like operation. While you cant go that short the the Mech Tech uppers their executive has a telescoping but pad that minimizes the size pretty good.

I meant to quote Magnanimous, sorry about that...

I don't understand the appeal of rifle-caliber pistols. A 5.56 out of a 5" barrel has roughly the same kinetic energy as a 9mm out of the same length barrel.

I think the only reason would be standardization of ammo and mags. I've shot some with a 10" barrel with an arm brace that are cool.

My Sig MCX pistol is chambered in 5.56 but the barrel on it is 11.5 I don't think I'd want one any shorter in 5.56 but I wouldn't mind having a 300blk upper with a 9 inch for it.

you could make the case that a 300 black out with a short barrel and a can would be great

I like the way you think and that's exactly what I'd do.  In fact I have a Dead Air Ghost that would work/look really good screwed on the end of a 300blk 9in upper.

If I was 1 trying to set myself up for preparedness I'd have a pistol and a carbine of the same caliber. 9mm 10mm or 556. I'm not a big 556 pistol fan, BUT if I had an AR it could make sense. If I had a pistol them Mech Tech seems like the right solution. Especially if you combined it with an 80% glock lower. I'm personally not an 10mm fan but I have heard they make awesome carbine rounds...
I get the whole redundancy goal even if the caliber/ barrel length isnt optimum.

I have a 300blk pistol that I shoot suppressed and it's great, but it's WAY more expensive to shoot than my 9mm.  If you want to practice a bunch it's not really the gun you want, unless you like spending a boat load more on ammo.  Here is a pic of mine.

Nice!

5.56 out of a 5" barrel is pretty extreme.

5.56 out of a 7.5" is a lot more common and you get more energy than a 357 mag. But I don't think people normally build them for practical reasons. Short ARs are just damn fun.

But Blackout is the way to go in something that small. You get a lot more energy even in a 5". In fact once you go past 10" with Blackout there are minimal gains.
