An article I wrote regarding PCC effectiveness. As always, I'd really like to hear whatever criticism you have to offer. Thanks.
The rest is here, if you're interested.
Does size really matter? Is longer better? No, not that. Get your mind out of the gutter and read the title again. We’re still talking about guns, here.
In a recent article, we detailed some of the advantages to using a pistol caliber carbine in the same caliber as your carry pistol for home defense. In this article, we’d like to take a detailed look at what effect a longer barrel has on terminal performance. Does the longer barrel really make the cartridge more powerful, or is a pistol caliber carbine little more than a handgun with a stock when it comes to its potential to cause tissue disruption?
To be sure, the longer sight radius, optic mounting options, and the presence of a stock still offer substantial advantages over a pistol and the low recoil of a pistol caliber carbine still makes it really easy to shoot well, no matter what the terminal performance is.
Does that longer barrel really mean higher velocity, though? If it does produce higher velocity, is that necessarily a good thing?
The rest is here, if you're interested.
