It'll probably be a little quieter with the 16" barrel. But it's gonna be pretty long. I like the shorter 10.5" barrel suppressed.
But when in doubt, get both.
PSA had quite a few 300blk pistols in different barrel lengths, reasonably priced. Also had some Hornady subsonics at reasonable prices. I ordered a few boxes of them last nigh as well.
Let us know how them Hornady subs do.
You probably know this , but a lot of folks tape or use different mags for the blackout. Just so they don't load the wrong mag in the 556. Especially if your youngins shoot them.
I almost messed up the other day. Think I'm gonna use tape till I get my mags sorted out.
