I’m reasonably proficient with handguns, but have never gotten into long guns. Now that I own a home, I’m thinking it’s time I have something. I’m buying with general self/home defense in mind.
What’s the go-to setup for carbines? Not the cheapest, not the best. Just where I should start. The “Glock 19” of carbines. Hoping to understand specifics… Make, model? Barrel length? Optic?
Presumably it’ll be something AR-pattern. Maybe BCM? S&W? Colt?
