Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) and a Pistol Conversion Kit?

A PCC is a dedicated firearm built from the ground up as a carbine chambered in pistol calibers. A conversion kit, like the CAA MCK Gen 2, is an accessory that allows you to insert an existing pistol into a chassis to gain carbine-like stability and handling.

Which is more affordable, a PCC or a conversion kit?

Conversion kits are generally more affordable. In the Philippines, they cost around 25,000-30,000 PHP, whereas dedicated PCCs can range from 60,000 PHP to over 200,000 PHP.

Are pistol conversion kits legal and do they require registration?

In the Philippines, pistol conversion kits are considered accessories for existing registered firearms and typically do not require separate registration, making them a cost-effective upgrade.

What are the advantages of a dedicated PCC over a conversion kit?

Dedicated PCCs often provide a more stable shooting platform, better ergonomics with controls placed for a rifle-like feel, and potentially superior operating systems like roller-delayed blowback for enhanced performance.
