I couldn’t agree more, most of my acquaintances have both. Some people say a pistol is to fight your way to a rifle, Given the opportunity I’ll just start with the rifle.
Don't under estimate the capabilities of the modern AR pistols when braced. Sure I don't expect to when the black rifle challenge with one, but I can keep 20 out of 20 on man sized steel at 250 yards, and typically around 17 out of 20 at 500 meters with M855 ball ammo. Sure my rifles better, typically good for 20 out of 20 at 500, but it doesn't fit in gym bag either.
