I think PCCs are another great set of tools in the toolbox. If one does not have the luxury of a suppressed 10-11.5” AR or use of an outdoor range/indoor range that handles rifle calibers, a PCC is a great way to go. If you don’t or can’t run a can, a PCC is probably a better tool to shoot inside your home than an AR in 5.56 NATO unless you’re wearing ear pro. I realize 5.56 NATO is superior, but a 9 mm AR is much less intimidating to shoot for a newbie or novice shooter. Just ask my wife; she won’t touch my bigger guns unless they’re wearing a can.
Guys in the know, I have questions.
I think the CZ Scorpion is my baseline. Is the B&T GHM9 really that much better than the SCorpion? Or should I just save for the APC9 at that point?

I cannot speak for the CZ but I can say my B&Ts are absolute top notch quality and craftsmanship. Makes my SP5K seem/feel cheap. It also shoots very well and has a very tame recoil impulse. Factor with a TRI-lug mount for your favorite can. I would get another B&T in a heartbeat over the CZ. All that said, if you are super tight on funds, pick the tool you can afford...but if you CAN afford the B&T, do it.

I can afford the scorpion outright right now. After handling the apc9k last week tough, it just felt incredibly solid. The scorpion was lighter, but I think that was the only thing over the b&t it had going for it. I really wish they had the GHM9 there so I could have handled that as well, but the apc9 felt awesome.
I would feel like if I got the scorpion, I would probably wish I would have saved bit longer for the b&t. I'm just curious if there is that much of a difference between the ghm9 and the apc9. If you get the ghm9 with the tailhook, the damn thing is like $200 less than the apc9 with a brace on it.
