In this video, Eric checks out the @SmithAndWessonInc Response 9mm Carbine. One unique feature of this rifle is the ability to swap the entire magwell over to accommodate Glock and, hopefully, other mags in the future.

It’s always funny when people say, I don’t understand who this firearm is for because they hate PCC’s . Pistol, caliber, car beans are primarily for people who don’t want to diversify ammo which I completely understand. If you’re the type of person likes to stockpile ammo but doesn’t want to break the bank. It’s much easier to invest in one caliber, then five or six different ones.
@Kesssuli 3 ай бұрын
Valid point but i would still go least 3 different because one tool rarely is best possible in all situations. My pick are 22lr very obvious reasons. 9mm for handgun and maybe pcc. And lastly either 223/556 for semi-auto AR or .308 for bolt gun. Depending where you live.

300 blk exist because you can literally make it from 308 and 556 casing. On top of being all around better than 9mm ballisticly. 9mm is pointless in a rifle platform these days

I have had Glock mag 9mm carbine feeding rounds into the back of the barrel, no feed ramp. It was randomly shoving the bullet down into the case and it shoved one far enough that the round did not fully chamber. it went off with a high pressure spike and was not fully chambered and blew out the bottom of the case. Because of jamming the bullet into the back of the barrel and shoving the bullet down into the case. NO feed ramp or inadequate feed ramp on a Glock mag 9mm AR is a serious problem.

@@nbroachful just about a year ago S&W released a different 9mm carbine that folds sideways (like a twist on the sub2000) and it retails for about $600 but it only takes S&W mags. Therefore I don’t see why they would release a completely different 9mm pcc into an even more saturated market (ar-style 9mm) for a more expensive price tag 😂. If I am going to buy a polymer 9mm carbine I would personally get the S&W FPC for $100 less and is more unique. I think IV has a few vids on it if u wanna check back through.

On aguila's website it lists their 9mm 147gr at 1000fps. So I think aguila's 147s are "legitimate" subsonics too, they probably just assume most people know a standard velocity 147 is going to be subsonic. meanwhile Remington realizes they can get more money out of rubes if they write the word subsonic on their 147gr 9s....

See a lot of hesitation on the polymer construction, yet there's too many "plastic fantastic" pistol platforms (including mine!) to count when at multi-gun competitions. I'm definitely a fan of it taking multiple mag options, means even at its MSRP, it's still cheaper than buying a second PCC (I run M&P platform, wife is Glock for instance). Would love to hear additional feedback prior to potential purchase. Thanks!

Been running M&P PC CORE first gen since it came out in multi-gun and pistol meets since it came out, zero issues with it (and I'm LAZY, rather be shooting guns than cleaning them!), even when totally gunked with powder. My local club is now doing 2 gun meets, since it's indoors, long guns must be PCCs. Kinda digging the ability to use multiple types of mags, so my current kit will run it as well as my wife's (she's on a Glock platform). Wasn't aware of the recall until this vid, but once that issue is fixed, this platform has a place in the lineup in my opinion--and still far cheaper than a Sig or Kriss platform.

Just as insight into the PCC in general, it's been an idea since the 1800s to have a rifle share the ammo of your carry pistol for practicality, even though it's a bit of compromise on available range. Though .357 Mag through a carbine isn't much of a downgrade all things considered, if you're limited to modern 9mm, you're really going to be engaging out to 150 yards effective anyway. I agree with your points though. Use the best tool for the job. 👍

I get that they don’t want to offer a mag well that doesn’t take our regular M&P mags but….It looks so dumb. They could manufacture this firearm in a way where the mag well has a inner changeable mag well clip of sorts that can be changed out. They could have made it where the gun comes with three of those inner changeable mag well clips. The M&P, the Glock, and a A.R.-15 look alike as seen with the S&W Sport 22lr.
