A pistol caliber carbine (PCC) is a rifle-length firearm chambered in a handgun cartridge like 9mm or .45 ACP. PCCs offer low recoil, affordable ammo, and are popular for home defense and competition.
What is the best PCC for home defense?
The Ruger PC Carbine, CZ Scorpion EVO 3, and CMMG Banshee are top picks for home defense. PCCs offer better accuracy than handguns with reduced over-penetration compared to rifle calibers.
