So check back when you can and definitely let us know what you think (or find out) in the comments below. I’ll warn you up front – this list will probably change over the next few months as pistol brace laws change and drive weapon evolution. I just want you to know there is no hard and fast definition of “ pistol caliber carbine.”įor simplicity’s sake, when we say PCC below, we mean one of two things: Either a long gun (carbine or SBR, for instance) that is chambered in a common, traditional handgun cartridge or a subgun/SMG-type weapon that is larger than a handgun.

All PCCs? Some are PDWs? Going back to the Copperhead, when does it become a subgun?Īppearances to the contrary, I’m not bringing this up to confuse or distract you. The Kel-Tec Sub 2000 is 30.5” and is a 9mm it’s a PCC, right?īut the CMMG Dissent, by contrast, averages around two feet long – and is chambered in 9mm, 10mm, 5.7, 4.6, and all sorts of other calibers.

A Ruger PC charger is 34″ long with a 16″ barrel, in 9mm. It’s a foot long without a brace or stock, but some call it PCCs. An MPX Copperhead is relatively tiny (albeit not next to a Glock 17). Size is often an advantage but isn’t always a determining factor. More on that later – and we’ll talk about subguns, too. We here at Gun University usually restrict the PCC title to something in a common production ammunition caliber 5.7 and 4.6, for instance, we usually call a PDW. Today the term PCC also alludes to SMG-based pistols. That round can be anything from a 32 ACP to a 500 S&W. It’s a long gun designed to fire a pistol cartridge, i.e. However, if you have unanswered questions, hit us in the comments! What is a PCC? After reading this, you should be more prepared to pick and choose your first (or tenth) long gun chambered in a pistol caliber. We’ve created a comprehensive guide for those with more than a passing interest in the PCC. PCCs have been around for a long time, but they were typically a small category of guns that people enjoyed, but they were niche – including PCCs that were designed as Personal Defense Weapons (PDWs) like the M1 Carbine of 1942.įrom 2010 to now, though, the PCC category has absolutely exploded in popularity, and not just in the 9mm carbine/AR9 group either. And not just the 9mm carbine, but all manner of pistol caliber long gun (well, long~ish) models and calibers. An example of weird, and in my mind the weirdest, development lately is how the popularity of pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) took off over the last couple of years. An example of unexpected is how the P36, Hellcat, and other handguns changed the concealed carry world by increasing sub-compact mag capacity. Weird and unexpected things sometimes happen in the gun world.
