I am asking this in the urban/suburban context and NOT in an 'all terrain' solution. Home defense. Room to room, maybe a shot in the yard, etc.
I used to rely on having an AK handy, which I still might, but given the penetration and ensuing legal problems of hitting someone 'down the street', have moved to a PCC with 8" barrel in 9mm. I also have noticed that getting a head shot at 25+ yards is now trivial and that is NOT true with a handgun. So... its better and safer to use the PCC.
But, as 5.7 gets near $30/box and maybe that improves, and it shoots flatter at longer range, is there some point where a PCC in 5.7 becomes a better choice especially with near zero recoil, and lesser strength folks in the household can charge the weapon easier and hit a tad better?
Just asking. The latest thread (I could find) was a 5.7/5.56 deal and that's not in view, nor should it be. (I don't even understand a comparison to the 5.56 - its not close).
I get the McNamara (you need to shoot a ton to be good) deal, but I find that to be not as active with a shoulder fired PCC and a dot. Pat is referring to the 'fighting carbine scenario' I assume in that context.
