    IMHO, the most compelling argument for the .223 over pistol caliber carbines and the shotgun is the fact that the .223 will almost always defeat soft body armor.

    Thanks Alaskapopo, great info. I will continue with the build for fun, but I think you have talked me into sticking with my .223 for patrol. Now I guess I need to buy a SBR .223, thanks for he new expense

    The main reason I prefer the .223 is because of its far greater terminal performance.

    While I agree to stick with 223, to answer your original question, we found that the Rem Golden Sabers fed the most reliably in our PD SBR 9mm guns.
