And to add (this goes along with the video from Desert Brutality feedback using the USW chassis), I see people (including the OP) conflating what I see are 2 different discussions. 1) Here is a specific scenario: What is the most appropriate firearm for this situation? 2) Here is a specific firearm: What are appropriate situations to use this? While there is some varying degrees of Venn diagram overlap, I'm seeing a bit of latching on to a specific firearm/platform and then trying to justify its use as opposed to objectively identifying the best firearm/platform for the scenario as described in the OP. |

B&T makes some quality stuff. I really like the ACRO with this setup, too. I’m not exactly a fan of the Sig striker platform but, you are absolutely right. The ability to CCW on the body a formidable PDW that is controllable and has a magazine capacity up to 21 rds. (so far) is absolutely a game changer! |

While there is some varying degrees of Venn diagram overlap, I'm seeing a bit of latching on to a specific firearm/platform and then trying to justify its use as opposed to objectively identifying the best firearm/platform for the scenario as described in the OP. Arming the wife was very specifically mentioned in the OP, and has been discussed multiple times in this thread and in the original thread as a possible scenario. And dude. All gun guy discussions are venn diagrams between optimal, realistic, defending previously made purchases, arguing my made up scenario vs your made up scenario, whatever. Every thread discussing barrel length, alternate AR cartridges, chili ingredients all have a bunch of people coming at a topic from a million different directions. Heck, you even have folks who cant read the OP before weighing in with their .02… Its a 10 page thread because theres a lot of different opinions and options, about what a pdw is, what scenario calls for one, good pdw candidates…last version of this thread had a guy calling his Aug a pdw because it was the same size as a mk18. Every thread from carry guns to home defense guns is similar. Not sure why you read it this way but the original post was not a biblical commandment carved in stone proclaiming the only possible scenario a pdw might be useful or could be discussed in the context of being used. It was just a jumping off point for a thread about the guns that could serve as one. I even specifically mentioned fully understanding the “handgun or rifle and nothing inbetween” mindset and that I wasnt calling if wrong at all (thats right above the part of the OP that involved arming women). Hope that helps. |

To bridge the gap between pistol and subgun.
I have to admit, this concept is what sparked my interest in expanding my options from the original thread. Plenty of those options to choose from now with potentially more on the way.  B&T's USW-A1: The Ultimate Crossover Firearm |

Damn you OP....
 I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread....  I guess I want to play with the 5.7 round. I am looking more along the lines of the Diamondback DBX57 and CMMG Dissent. The PSA model isn't out yet but I know this isn't a good reason not to like it but on the looks department.... it just doesn't tickle my fancy. I looked at the Sig rattler but doesn't appear to chambered in 5.7. Any other options like these out there? If the only options you had of the two listed just above, which would you pick? Not looking to brace a standard pistol or use a LAW folder for an AR so I can fire more than one round right after I pull it out of the bag. |

The issue I find with longer guns is digging into my junk or the holster/rear sight area pushing into my abs while seated. My EDC is a G42 or G26, both with lights and RDS. I’ll AIWB a light and RMR sporting G19 if I’m going to the range with baggy pants and UV shirt, but that thing looks crazy long. |

I don’t know Idaho law so this concern may not be applicable there, but everywhere I have lived had a ban on carrying rifles concealed. It comes as a brace and I’d say for most folks they want to leave it as a brace so as not to cause more legal headaches for themselves. Here in CO, for instance, carrying a rifle in a car with a round chambered is a no-go. If I was carrying that thing as an SBR, how could I get around that? |

Yeah. I'm about 90% there. I think I'll wait a year to see what else drops on the market. Especially in the 5.7 space. |

I did cut the thicker rubber outer handle and then wrapped the handle in Monkey Tape for the "tactical" look Klein Demolition Screwdriver This, in spades and one of my primary reasons for PDWs. Next weekend I'll have a co-worker who's finally getting to shoot his CZ Scorpion pistol and his wife, and two daughters will come as well. I'll bet dollars to donuts they shoot any number of braced pistols" vastly better than any handgun if I run them through a couple simple drills. ROCK6 Originally Posted By Scalped: Fancy.
