Pistol Caliber Carbines PCC Small PCCs For Self Defense

Range Trip!

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 handgun

Down Sides

It’s not a rifle Limited Range Heavier Ammo The PCC is still being perfected

Why 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:

CZ Scorpion

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

Ruger PCC

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

Sig MPX

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
