Build your own.

Purpose?
Budget?
Length?
Without knowing any of these, I'd recommend a Springfield Saint as a good starter option right out of a box.
Building your own is always nice if you have the time to collect all of the parts and the tools to do so.

It's not rocket science. It's more like leggos.

Buy a milspec lower cheap somewhere, either stripped or complete (as pistol). Then buy as many uppers as you like.
Understand, the upper and lower is held together by 2 push pins, you will take it apart to inspect and clean it anyway.

Agreed.

One with a 14" barrel.
Seriously, go shoot one before you buy if you haven't already.

None of them. What is the point of a 6in barrel? It's inaccurate, stupidly loud, and spits powder everywhere. You can't easily conceal or holster it. Like, I guess you can argue that you want the power of a rifle round for short distance engagements, but say goodbye to your eardrums. They're also really heavy when trying to maneuver with one hand in a car, etc.
10.5in is pretty much as short as you want to go with an AR. I just don't see the purpose of this outside of fun/novelty:

May as well buy you a Taurus Judge and a Micro Drako AK while you're at it....

That's more than half the enjoyment.
AR pistols lose too much velocity and are too damn loud. Much better choices out there for a pistol if you don't want to build.

Bingo, its just a fad/novelty. They are horribly inefficient

AR pistols are the alternative freedom definition of what is a short barreled rifle.
They are not “inefficient”. As someone who spent over 20 years getting in and out of vehicles/helos with full battle rattle, I was ecstatic to carry a SBR aka AR pistol (braced) when the option was available.
Everyone has an opinion like an orifice so you do you. I rock all my “pistols” in 5.56 ARs as I’m a sucker for interoperability of mags/ammo/manual of arms.
Prefer 10.5” as it’s good enough for killing any 2 legged threat you’ll meet and accurate out to 4 legged ethical shots.

I wouldn't go smaller.
