Re: Pistol Caliber Carbine Roundup

Someone was selling HK style diopter sights for AR height rails a few years ago.

Can’t remember who made them and they don’t make them anymore. Glad I picked up a couple sets of them. I like diopters.

It always is, because it shouldn't be a thing.

I've been having a lot of fun posting this picture with the caption "Here is a picture of a rifle and a pistol" lately. :biggrinjester: :grumble :oops: :???:

To give options and capability that both a handy, concealable pistol and a large pistol caliber carbine or regular rifle does not. I shoot a lot of USPSA, IDPA, etc. It's been interesting to watch folks I routinely smoke when we're both shooting pistols outshoot me when they switch over to PCC. It's part of what inspired me to build this.

A red dot and a stock are far from "extraneous". You can make faster, more accurate hits using a red dot on a pistol. This Sage Dynamics white paper is absolutely worth the read if you doubt that: [url]http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/7dc128_50 ... 7925b1.pdf[/url. And a stock providing a more stable shooting platform than just hands is obvious enough.

I used to have an MP5 clone. Fantastic shooting gun, cream of the old PCC crop in a lot of ways. I sold it when I built an 8" 300 BLK AR pistol with a law folder that was the exact same size as the MP5. If two guns are the same size, I'll take the one in a rifle caliber.

Here's that 300 blk AR in its smallest configuration next to the B&T 320 chassis:

The 320 could go in a console lock box or locked glove box. The AR pistol and larger PCCs....not so much.

Now, I shoot competition, dry fire, go to training classes, etc. I'm perfectly comfortable using just a regular old handy, concealable pistol. My wife on the other hand? She doesn't do any of those things. I'm sure we all have family members like that.

Something like the B&T is going to be both a)small enough for her to actually bother packing in a car/bag and b)significantly easier for her to use than a regular pistol.

In general I'm personally going to prefer either a pistol or a rifle, but a stocked pistol in a small enough size like this could be a great option for folks like my wife who don't train, don't compete, but still might want to defend themselves as they travel. All that "extraneous" stuff ups her hit probability significantly, without adding much bulk at all.

Re: Pistol Caliber Carbine Roundup

If its in a pistol caliber, might as well be small.
