Frequently Asked Questions

What is the appeal of pistol caliber carbines (PCCs)?

Pistol caliber carbines are popular because they are generally fun to shoot and can be easier and sometimes cheaper to reload for. They also appeal to the 'subgun' aesthetic, reminiscent of historical special forces use, and are often seen as cool-looking firearms.

What is a recommended way to carry a spare magazine for CCW?

A common and effective method for carrying a spare magazine for concealed carry is in the back pocket, positioned on the opposite side of the firearm. This placement allows for easy indexing of the finger on the front of the magazine for a quick reload.

Should a concealed carry weapon have a light, and why?

Yes, a light on a CCW is a good idea because gunfights in low-light situations are statistically more probable. A light aids in identifying threats and can serve as an offensive tool, though it should not be the sole reliance for threat assessment.

What are good budget-friendly handguard options for an AR-15?

For budget-friendly handguards, the Magpul MOE series (including the SL) and the ALG series (especially their MLOK rails) are highly recommended. Midwest Industries Gen 3 rails are also considered very good value for the money.

What are recommended defensive ammunition choices for 5.56mm, .308, and 7.62x39mm?

For 5.56mm, the 75-grain Hornady TAP is recommended. For .308, Winchester rounds and Hornady SST bullets are good. For 7.62x39mm, caution regarding over-penetration is advised, and the AAX round is noted for effectiveness.
