Almost half of the people who own guns own them for defensive purposes, specifically for home defense. Numerous options exist for that role: rifles, shotguns, handguns, and of course, pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs). The home-defense PCC is a unique weapon that can fill a particular niche.
Good article. I run a Freedom Ordnance FX-9 with an 8 in barrel and a 4 inch linear compensator. Great gun that’s easy to move about the house with and is crazy accurate. 33rd mags keep this thing going all day long.
Just one comment on the article: they recommend 147gr, but a lot of AR9s do not cycle 147gr reliably. Do your homework before you buy.
