• Q: I owned the longer barrel of this version and very much miss shooting it so I’ve decided to pick up again although the newer version now has a better muzzle break my question is will this shorter version going to have an outrageous recoil or nearly the same as a longer barrel, does it really matter if the barrel is a few inches longer as far as blowback?

  • Answered
  • Asked 06/21/2018 23:43 by Charles D

  A:

  Charles the shorter barrel will have slightly more recoil due in part to the lighter weight and louder muzzle blast from the directional gasses being vented rather than expelled straight forward. It won't be too bad but, will be noticeable.

  A:

  Buds claims to not open new firearm packages so it will be your FFL that will probably be the point of verification. if Buds ships it, it probably will have it as I don't think Buds is willing to catch a violation over this.
