Today:  Let’s Talk Bag Guns and Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs).  They are becoming more and more popular as time goes on and the guns are just getting better and better.  I really want one to make my bag gun that goes with me everywhere.

This episode we look at why a pistol caliber and what a bag gun would be used for.  What’s the ups and down of using a pistol caliber over a rifle caliber? What to look for In a bag gun?  And what gun am I looking at.

Including are three reviews of guns I’m thinking of making my bag gun: CZ Scorpion Evo 3, Ruger PPC Carbine, and Sig MPX.  All have great things about them and things that could be improved.

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

    • Trigger sucks
    • Not as many htings for them as I would like aftermarket
