One of my ponderings as we get muddled through the whole AR Pistol "Brace" thing is picking up a 16" 45 ACP barrel to convert a pistol to a carbine. I have come across some differential in twist rates and I am looking for some possible experiences with this animal. I see that the 1:16 twist seems to be the standard, but there is one company making a 1:10 twist (got no idea why). Since I will be running predominantly 230 gr plated round nose bullets the 1:16 seems like the best choice to keep the bullets intact, but availability may push me to the 1:10. Odds of getting a 1:16 are good right now, but in a couple of months I could be stuck with the 1:10. Is anyone running a 16" 45?
