Despite it's size, it's heavy at 6+ pounds but having the same controls as an AR means you don't have to think about it when shit hits the fan. I have years behind an AR, and bought a tavor for HD. Totally different manual of arms but overall 26" seems reasonable. Decided to switch to a rattler for training and familiarity. Then had the chance to go through a real shooting. My brain was mush. I remember that. I remember thinking "holy shit i wish my can cleared this is gonna be loud..." but it was honestly comforting knowing it was familiar to me and I can shoot reflexively based on training and practice with a 22 AR. I'm working on how I'm going to do my sig 365 raider. Fun cash was tight with vacation and back to school but leaning towards a Fuse so I get longer mags and barrel. |

I bought the HUXWRX FLOW 556K for my PS90. It’s a 3D printed back pressure reducing flow through suppressor that is easier on the action and stock. If you’re not doing a flow though, then the EA weight is good if you’re going the traditional suppressor route because it keeps the action closed a little longer and slows it down. |

I'm a little surprised that nobody has brought up short shotguns in here yet.
I was just thinking about the RV trip we took back in 21 right as things were opening back up. I kept a rifle in the motorhome with us but I remember thinking the something like a shockwave would be pretty handy to have in the vehicle if things got sporty and we had to get people off of/out of the vehicle. |

Yeah, this is something I have trained a bit for. I don't leave the bolt locked back because I don't want to get into a situation where it gets jostled around in my truck and slams a round into the chamber and I get pulled over. That sounds unpleasant and not super worth the risk. If I'm in a situation where I'm grabbing that gun, I have a bit of time, so racking the charging handle and getting into the fight isn't a huge time sink. |

View Quote There was one posted on the first page. For me its the overall length. Tac-14 is 23” I’ve read? I dont really consider a 10.3 AR with a law folder a pdw either because its too long to fit in a traditional nondescript backpack, and mine is 22” folded, iirc. Truck guns like ARs over 10” and even the tac-14 are a slightly different category than on body pdws, IMO. Still good options, but a lot harder to carry discretely. |

There’s a difference between walking or driving through a large crowd and making your way through a large angry mob. If at all possible, go around, no matter the inconvenience or how long it takes. Never underestimate the rage and capability of an angry mob. I used to be naive and thought these sort of things only happened in places like Los Angeles, Detroit, or the Bronx. 1993 changed my perception of my local community as well as what type of firearms I could and should own. A lot of the videos from that day in 1993 have been scrubbed from the internet. This was supposed to be a joyous celebration but some came for a different reason in mind. The world has sure changed a lot since then, too. Super Bowl XXVII Victory Parade Got Ugly & Sad |

That is the only role they fill for me, giving me something more than a pistol that is discreet and convenient to actually have with me. If you want something more than a pistol, and a lunchbox size bag won’t draw unnecessary attention. Flux & Recover type stuff absolutely gives you that. If laptop size bags are doable, Micro PCC platforms give you something way more capable than just your EDC. If backpack size bags are doable, small PCC platforms work great and so do small rifles. |

Got my SCAR 15P build done except for a light. With the stock folded is measures 19.75". I will probably shave an inch off of that if I replace the factory flash hider with a micro keymo break. It fits very nicely in my Vertx Gamut. I am loading it with green tip for reasons.
I bought a used SCAR stock off the EE, removed the rear portion, and added a Haga Defense adapter and a tail hook. I have numerous SBR's, but I want to keep this a pistol, so I can carry it concealed in bag or vehicle. I have a Magpul sling on it, but I took it off for better photos.

I bought a used SCAR stock off the EE, removed the rear portion, and added a Haga Defense adapter and a tail hook. I have numerous SBR's, but I want to keep this a pistol, so I can carry it concealed in bag or vehicle. I have a Magpul sling on it, but I took it off for better photos. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/37013/SCAR_15P-1_jpg-3285630.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/37013/SCAR_15P-2_jpg-3285631.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/37013/SCAR_15P-3_jpg-3285632.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/37013/SCAR_15P-4_jpg-3285633.JPG View Quote |

IMO magazines are the real fly in the ointment of Colt guns. As someone who’s keeping a couple alive in inventory there awesome but even small there still larger then a lot of the contemporary options. There big leg up is training translates between them and your standard rifle. |

Yeah, I want that DOE clone, but the MP5K is a cool gun as well and is pretty compact |

I wasn’t aware of a 2nd gen curved mag - I thought these new curved mags are considered the 2nd gen magazine to fix the straight wall issues? I haven’t had any issues with the curved mags that came with my Stribog. I recently ordered some straight 20s that hopefully function well since they’re easier to fit inside a pack while loaded into the gun. |

It is just a Keymo Brake with a chamber lopped off. Allows me to switch my Sandman and Wolfman around to various platforms with no issues. Works great. |

Every normal man, at times, must be tempted to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
