Buy a stripped lower and build one yourself. Most FFL's carry stripped lowers for <$100. You will need the federal background check and MD's 7 day waiting period before you can take possession.
223/5.56 and 10.5" with pistol buffer length is popular.
With a rail that goes all the way out , you can run peep fixed sights with 1/2 decent sight radius.
Many will run a red dot or something like that.
I have not had any reliability issues with mine.

“223/5.56 and 10.5" with pistol buffer length is popular.“
I haven’t looked this up. I thought the pistols ran the same buffer and spring as a carbine in 223/5.56. From recent threads I derived the blow back pistol caliber guns used a heavier buffer.
EDIT: for the ‘do a search’ nazi’s.... I did and nada

...and generally more reliable than one with a 8.5" bbl, but I knew if I said 10.5" bbl for the 5.56, someone else would chime in espousing the 8.5" bbl.
Can't win sometimes.There are actually two different "pistol length" buffer tubes. One is rifle length and the other is carbine length. I have noticed no difference in performance between the two when paired with a Tubb's flat wire spring.
As Magnumite suggested, PC(C) pistols usually require heavy buffers and heavier buffer springs.
YMMV
