    Why a 12" barrel for a 9mm? Why not like a 7" or something?
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    Similar in feel/handling to my 556 guns. Ballistics weren’t a primary consideration. I have a 8.5” floating around here as well.

    Edit: 12” is a pain in the butt to load subs for.

    I run 10.5” on both of mine for that reason.

    Close to handling characteristics of my 11.5 ARs. I don’t recall seeing 12” 9mm barrels several years ago or I’d have tried one.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Xcaliber will make them in any length you like. 12” is exactly as long as a 5.56 11.5”.
