For a 9mm carbine, I like to learn if there are significant differences in terms of "effective range--velocity--stability" among these choices:
* a plain 16" barrel
* 14.5" barrel with a 1.5" brake
* 10.5" barrel with a 5.5" brake
Given the optimal length for 9mm is 8" or less, would the above actually diminishes the overall effectiveness?
