    It's just that light weight retardation leads to Carbon 15 AR and .380 pistol customers.
    Bah, I'd bet you're the worst of the bunch. Betcha got a 14.5" midlength floating around somewhere...

    Yeah... but it's chambered in .380. The lo pro gas block is just for the "Middy" look.

    See here.

    I want to get a 921HB barrel. I had a 16" BCM SOCOM upper but I want to go with a 14.5 now. The only place I can find one in stock is OOW for $386.60 for just the barrel alone!

    Great stuff,I just got my slim profile 14.5" pinned and was
    thinking I should have got a Socom or a HVY but after
    reading this I think I will keep my lighter weight,I do like
    it's handiness. Personally not interested in tiny groups off
    a bench with hand loads,prefer offhand at 200 yds on steel
    with three types of ball stuffed in the mag! If I can hit this
    way I'm gtg. Pete
