When do we get an XCR pistol? ??? ??? ??? I've been building a couple of AR pistols, but it sure would be nice to have an XCR pistol!
How short can you reliably make the barrel?

XCR pistol? Just remove the stock, and voila!
As for barrel length, under the current gas setup, you will only be restricted by the gas valve and block. I haven't taken a caliper measurement yet, but I think somewhere around 11.5" is about as short as you can get it and still have room for threading. My XCR is one of the older ones with a 1/8 barrel. We cut and rethreaded it @ 12.5 inches. I went this length because anything under that would not allow mounting of my sound suppressor, due to it contacting the gas valve. I also has to play with the gas system some. I ended up opening up my gas port and block a little to compensate for the decreased dwell-time of the gas in the short barrel. YMMV.
As for plans for XCR pistols, I don't know of any.
The point is to get the pistol before the election. It can always be rebarreled shorter later as the serial number is on the correct place.I am also wanting a handgun version as well but the 10 or 12.5 inch barrels are not what I am looking for.
I would just give them a call and see if a handgun is in the works or a future possibility.
...not if it leaves the factory as a rifle. I don't know how RobArms designates their lowers with the ATF, but they are probably manufactured as rifles.If you use the method of buying a stripped lower you can build a pistol. Just like an AR, when you buy an AR reciever and want a pistol, you can do the paperwork as a pistol, and build it as a pistol. I would assume this would be the same for the XCR.
Alex! ;DThe point is to get the pistol before the election. It can always be rebarreled shorter later as the serial number is on the correct place.
