Buy recommendations Carmel barrel length

Is this really how long the IWI barrel is or atleast how it looks on the gun. This is on CRAFMs website.

I hate to say it man, but damn near all cool guns in Canada get a ‘barrel lift’ when they’re NR. My two personal favourites for this are the P90 and the Vector. They go from this dinky little looking this to looking like a freaking broom stick. 😆

Same goes for some of the cool handguns. My Bersa Thunder 380 would look way better without the threaded barrel and cap, but that's the way she goes, I guess.

At least adding length for a threaded barrel adds potential utility value if you ever wanted to put a brake on it

If we ever legalize suppressors, I'd definitely get one for it. Otherwise it doesn't have much utility for me other than being a bit of an eyesore.

Not as bad as the rifles that get 18.5” barrels. I got a restricted VZ-58 because I thought the NR version looked too goofy. Regret it now of course…

Omg lol I’d love to see a p90 with the 18.6” barrel. It already looks ridiculous with the 16”
