I’m going to pick one of these up soon. I like the extra 2” of barrel for hunting, and it’s nothing I’d worry about for defensive purposes either. This has a 5R barrel, and the trigger is supposed to be really nice. I love PSA, but the trigger you’ll get with that kit gun is just a stock mil-spec trigger.

Plus, you don’t have to build it! That nice trigger will work with any upper you buy - or build.
