PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine) builds

[Failzero]

3 of my PCC builds ( all take Glock Mags ) one A2 Retro one flatop more modern and in beginning stages an XM4 or M4 9mm

As a defensive platform it does nothing that a Glock 19 does much better.

Fun for plinking but I am not relying on a 16in barreled 9mm for home defense.

I carry a Glock 19 ( Gen 3) but also have my Glock 17 ( Gen 3 ) and Glock 22 ( Gen 2/3 ) on my CCW , for Home defense I have my Mavberg ( Maverick 88 Riot 12 with Mossberg vintage wood and Police sights and heat shield , and for real Dead Ender Home defense I have my Chinese Type 56 “ Spiker “ AK …

I was digging through the junk box at a local shop and found a MagPul MOE grip/screw and a set of the newer style S&W K-frame target grips for $15.00.

Oh....I've had this thing for years, Colt police trade-in 9mm upper on a CMMG lower.

I was thinking of doing an early DOE Carbine but we can’t get new tax stamps in Ca. So it’s not worth it

Can't you build it like I did with a semi-lower and brace? I guess you would have to fix the brace in place and use that abomination of a P-grip.

Yeah, not worth it.

Working on this.
Base gun:

Swap the 7" handguard for a 12-13", and swap the birdcage for a suppressor.

PCCs may well be the best choice for home defense.

This thing has been a lot of fun.

UT9-M....7" barrel.

Uses Glock mags (G26 on up) or in this case a MagPul 50 rd PCC drum.

I really like the 21 round MagPul Glock mags in it.

I had one of those (I'm a PCC whore) but I just did not care for it much.

Now that they make them in 10mm and use the M&P 2.0 mags I already have I have one on my list.

You can buy extended mags. Taylor Freelance makes a longer extension you can add to normal M&P mags to increase capacity. DO NOT get the magazines from Elite Tactical. They are double plus bad.

Kel-Tec makes a 10mm 3rd gen S2K now that takes G20 10mm mags.

Not sold on it because it does not have Irons....I guess you could stick a set of BUIS on it but nah.

Since I’m a Retro M16/AR15 guy there are not a lotta options beyond the DOE variant
