.45 ACP is your best choice for a PCC.

9x25 dillon is the best in my opinion.

Love my scorpion Evo.
Mags are a reasonable price, eats even my early badly done reloads, cowitness with a Bushnell red dot, accurate enough to pop steel at 200 yds reliably, ambidextrous, no gas in the face like a buddy's AR in 9mm, balances well.

^ CZ Evo is a great platform and a 9 mm carbine is a cost effective platform to shoot. I run an Uzi Mini in 9mm and an HK SP5K in 9mm and really enjoy both. I just figured if I was going to carry a PCC (with the extra weight) then a bigger bullet made sense thus my enjoying the .45 ACP B&T.

I finally put the brace on the evo.
With the brace it went from good on the bench to awesome. I've gotta get it sbr'd now at some point.

If you’re suppressing, go 9mm.

If not suppressing, 9mm is cheaper...

That Extar pcc is out of control for $400. Since you have more 9, it only makes sense to rock that in you pcc as well. 10mm is dead sexy though... js

Which caliber do you all think is best for a PCC application?



BTW I wish the cheapest FN PS90 ammo wasn't nearly as much as bulk .308...
What ever you want. To many personal opinions with this one. This just goes back to the all mighty caliber war.

I like loading my Uzi carbine in 9mm rather hot.
