Advantages of PPC over a Rifle
Lighter and Smaller Ammo is Cheaper Not as loud Same caliber as your handgun Maybe same mags as your handgunDown Sides
It’s not a rifle Limited Range Heavier Ammo The PCC is still being perfectedWhy I want one:
Bag Gun to carry with me places Same ammo and hopefully same mags as my carry gun Smaller Barrel and not as much noise Control out of the smaller gun Accuracy at ranges over the handgun
The Contenders right now:
Good Price Shooting was fun Magazines are cheaper then most (except Glock mags) Balance and Fell is really good Magpul Stuff Bad Trigger sucks Not as many htings for them as I would like aftermarket Accuracy was hard with the heavy trigger Optic and sites offset is different then AR so options aren’t as good Good Price is by far the cheapeast Uses Ruger or Glock magazines Runs like a 10/22 16” Barrel Been Doing it for a long time Bad Breaks down for storage Not a lot of aftermarket stuff 16” barrel Sites and optics not co witnessed Weird Recoil Impulse Good Handles like an AR Optics like an AR Endless AR Stuff Nicest Trigger by Far Felt like an AR Trigger and Recoil Impulse Extendable Brace Bad Expensive Mags are Expensive Proprietary parts inside that look like standard AR Folding Brace Did I say Expensive
