In the super rare occurrence that someone breaks in, shoot them with anything that works.

There you go.

Now why is that? People always talking shit on 9mm. The round killed plenty of people in WWII battles and today in the modern age as well.

Doesn't shot placement count more than caliber?

A 9mm sbr would be just fine for either of those situations. Many options are now available concerning ammo, and it would be pretty common in a SHTF situation. Just don't try any Lee Harvey Oswald type shit and you'd be okay.

Can someone enlighten me as to why anyone would ever want a rifle that uses handgun ammunition. Lack of maneuverability paired with a weaker cartridge. Seems pointless.

It would be OK but if it's rifle size and rifle weight I'd rather have a cartridge like 5.56. If we're talking tiny stuff like a MAC or SBR'd pistol then I'm down.
>>
>>30652050
It's fine. If you shoot hot loaded 9mm it'll have plenty of power to take on most encounters you'll face. 9mm is extremely plentiful, and has a shit ton of varieties.

An SBR will be great for close quarters too, though you could easily argue a 5.56 sbr would be superior to it.
>>
>>30652420
That's just it, it isn't a "rifle" and isn't meant to fill the role of one, either. It's a carbine with higher capacity, better accuracy, and a force multiplier at close range. It just happens to be handy that it shares ammunition with your sidearm (or someone else's), assuming it is also 9mm.

>>30652050

Good:
> 9mm is popular with dindu and lawman alike, easy to find in the field.
> Excellent mobility for CQB
> Compact Size good for a vehicle drivers while providing more utility than a pistol
> Can share ammo with sidearm if sidearm is 9mm.

Bad:
> Accuracy and ballistics not great > 50 yards
> Barrier penetration somewhat meh
> stopped easily by last-gen soft body armor and helmets
> Limited magazine size (AR/AK have 30+ round mags, this has 20)
> Very Bad against even slightly up armored targets (Think truck with 1/4" mild steel plate)

It's an option but you'd be equally served with a SBR AR/AK, and gaining medium to long range performance.
>>
>>30652897
>equally served

>>30652050
Literally no reason to SBR a 9mm anything when you could SBR something in a caliber that will actually do something, like 556.

Pistol ammo is too heavy anyway

9x19mm out of a decent barrel length carbine gets you .357Mag performance. That's not too bad.

And interchanging ammo with your sidearm is useful too. The fact you can carry a lot more ammo than intermediate or full power cartridges is nice too. They're also more easily concealed.

In urban SHTF environments, you won't be taking long range shots anyway.

I'm not a huge fan of the EVO3 though because the first batches we got here in Euroland were pretty brittle. The polymer rails would chip when cropped and crack easily if optics were overtightened.
The APC9 would be a better choice.

The totally-not-a-stock "arm brace" is legal, and it was legal to shoulder, but after 5 gorillion people sent letters to the ATF about the legality of shouldering eventually one of the letters came back saying that buying the stock with the intention of shouldering it is illegal.

SBRs don't have any of the advantages pistols have (concealability) or full size rifles have (ability to engage long range targets). Even a shotgun is better, because of the wide variety of ammo it can shoot (and increased per-shot lethality at close range. Dead men tell no tales).

Granted, if you're going with a long barrel, you might as well go for intermediate cartridges.

>In urban SHTF environments, you won't be taking long range shots anyway.

In which case, either a handgun (increased portability) or a shotgun (increased lethality) is a better deal. Pistol caliber SBRs don't really have any purpose unless you're making them en masse for an entire battalion.

Extends your accurate firing range though and is far far far easier to reload competently than a shotgun.
Yes, magazine fed shotguns exist, but magazines are bulky as hell to carry for few rounds.

A 9mm sbr for civil unrest is perfectly fine, if you need to shoot someone at relatively short distances or going out during that event, it will serve you wonderfully.
A good gun for shooting people from the roofs is a .22 with a can. Silent and it will will create a no-go zone for rioters.

It's like littering. Chances are you will never be caught. But if they do catch you, it's a $500 fine.

Be much better to buy a brace and stick it on the gun if you don't want to wait for a stamp.

It gives you no real advantages over an SBR in 5.56. If you are in a SHTF scenario, you likely will only be able to carry one rifle. The 5.56 has a lot more versatility than a 9mm. It's got better range, accuracy, and stopping power. Everyone's SHTF rifle should be chambered in .223 or 5.56 if for no other reason than it means that we can all share ammo when we join raider gangs.

What does commbloc have to do with 5.56?
Either way, I don't own pistol carbines. I own intermediates that are barely larger, covering both bases with 5.56x45 & 7.62x39.
Both of my carbines would be considered SBRs in the US, which is just plain silly.

>Also there are still 0 spares for that gun anywhere

I don't own one, but I've heard no complaints from owners here. B&T stands by their products, I have some of their accessories like quadrails, etc. You can just mail them in case of issues & often they'll just send you parts for free.

The appeal of the PCC is just cool factor. You don't really gain much from putting a common handgun cartridge in a marginally longer barrel. A .355 JHP at 1400fps isn't going to perform much differently at 1600fps.
They do produce less muzzle blast than rifles, and as such they're quieter when suppressed. Thats pretty cool, but not in itself a deciding factor.

The new CZ and SIG MPX are both sexy firearms, I'd love either of them, but if something needs to get shot I'm throwing rifle booleets at it.

>SHTF
You'll want an intermediate or full sized cartridge and a longer barrel (AR-15, Ares SCR, Ruger Mini, AK, battle rifle) so you can use the same gun for hunting food animals and for defense. If you're allergic to semi-autos and/or live in California a "scout" bolt gun or a lever action rifle would also be good options. SBRs are mostly useful for close quarters oper8n and static home defense, neither of which you will be doing much of in SHTF/TEOTWAWKI.

SBRs are fine but I'd rather have something with a bit more punch than 9mm. My personal choice would be an AK "pistol" in 7.62x39.

>ALL THESE SHIT REPLIES

The best SHTF weapon is a 9mm handgun. It's mobile, easily concealed, and uses a common round.

If you're carrying around some tacticool shit SBR, you will be shot by some panicked mall cop or anxious homeowner. The 9mm handgun avoids that future and allows you to protect yourself in case of emergency.

It's not cool but it's practical and that's what matters.

It will work, but you are limiting yourself. Cheap and common with pistol ammo is the only thing going for it.

Go with a 16 inch AR in 5.56 for more range and power. If you have the means to SBR and hoard ammo, 300 Blackout. A short AK will do too.

9mm is limiting yourself.
