I prefer a 14.5-16" carbine for use in and around vehicles.
My opinion changed when I stopped watching YouTube and began training with Kyle Lamb and others. It's a training issue, not a "physical issue" 99% of the time, with the short guns. I really like the longer barrels in a vehicle because a) They aren't a maneuverability issue if you handle it correctly, b) that length is actually a safety feature that PREVENTS you from sweeping yourself and, although less effectively, your passenger/driver, c) mo barrel means mo burned powder means mo velocity means less boom boom inside that confined space.
The one case I like a 10.3" is when I run a suppressor, dedicated. But even then, the 16" with a mini can isn't a problem, and that's another thing. I STRONGLY prefer mini cans to full-size suppressors. Again, after pulling my head out of the catalogs and off the forums and away from the Titsworth numbers, and actually began USING the gear.
