Today:  Let’s Talk Bag Guns and Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs).  They are becoming more and more popular as time goes on and the guns are just getting better and better.  I really want one to make my bag gun that goes with me everywhere.

This episode we look at why a pistol caliber and what a bag gun would be used for.  What’s the ups and down of using a pistol caliber over a rifle caliber? What to look for In a bag gun?  And what gun am I looking at.

Including are three reviews of guns I’m thinking of making my bag gun: CZ Scorpion Evo 3, Ruger PPC Carbine, and Sig MPX.  All have great things about them and things that could be improved.

Advantages of PPC over a Rifle

• Lighter and Smaller
• Ammo is Cheaper
• Not as loud
• Same caliber as your handgun
• Maybe same mags as your handgun

Down Sides

• It’s not a rifle
• Limited Range
• Heavier Ammo
• The PCC is still being perfected

Why I want one:

• Bag Gun to carry with me places
• Same ammo and hopefully same mags as my carry gun
• Smaller Barrel and not as much noise
• Control out of the smaller gun
• Accuracy at ranges over the handgun
