Anyone Feel Like More PCC Debating?

[UltraT]

There was a lot of back and forth in the Buffalo PD PCC thread, but I'll post this anyways.

Thoughts on the article?

 

[Frankly]

Eh JP just came out with a "long range" high end quality 9mm PCC rifle. It actually looks desirable but all of the above qualifications apply.

I'd love a SBR silenced 9mm PCC for home defense but I wouldn't want one if I had to fight bad guys out in the open.

Love my Marlin Camp 9. I have the pistol to go along with it (S&W 5946), which makes it even better.

Love my .223 pistol also.

Their roles are different though. Why debate? Just get anything and everything you can afford. Lol

Marlin Camp carbine in 45, plus 1911 companion sidearm.
Marlin 1894 FG with a Ruger Blackhawk as a companion sidearm
Henry Big boy with a Ruger Vaquero as a companion sidearm.

Not a lot that cannot be handled with any of those combos.

I have a JRC 9mm takedown PCC, and a Glock 19 which use the same mags. I backed that up with a couple of 33 round mags, and I'm GTG there.

I also have a Rossi M92, 45lc lever gun, to go along with my Uberti SAA revolver
I am waiting on another Rossi M92, 357 mag lever gun to come in, to go along with my Colt Trooper MKIII revolver.

If those won't do it, then I'm grabbing the AR, along with the 12- 30 round mags I keep ready for action,

I got a Lone Wolf G9 9mm AR for home defense to go along with my carry Glock 26.

The reason why was the obvious interchangable magazines and ammo along with the low recoil, flash, and concussion a PCC will give you indoors compared to a rifle and shotgun.

Within a hundred plus yards outdoors, a PCC is still nothing to sneeze at. With a 9mm for example, at the muzzle, you get the velocity of a 125 gr .357 Magnum. At 100 yards, the velocity slows back down to a 9mm fired from a pistol at the muzzle.

In an AR platform at 100, it is pretty darn accurate.

Im right you're wrong. Whats to debate?

 

[Kent Goldings]

It is good to weigh the pros and cons of a given platform. I sort of agree with the premise that with ubiquitous and inexpensive 223 and 556, a PCC is a stretch.

But, sometimes you want shoot a rifle. Sometimes you want to shoot a pistol. There is an economy to only stocking one type of ammo. It is even better when the PCC and handgun accept the same magazines.

Although knowledgeable opinions are always welcome. I don't really approve of people telling others what is wrong or right.

In the end, the correct answer to the question, "What gun should I buy?" , is "all of them."

I dont need your approval. Youre not the ATF....or are you?

It's kind of like getting another wife. Fun to go bang with but then just another way to spend money.
