As many have already proclaimed, 2017 is shaping up to be the year of the pistol-caliber-carbine. PCCs as they’re known by those in a hurry are excellent firearms for a variety of reasons. Generally handgun ammunition is less expensive, has less recoil, and is more readily available than rifle ammunition. Add to that the increased practicality for home-defense use and indoor ranges being more welcoming and the PCC becomes a solid option. Previously PCCs were less desirable due to high initial costs and the use of proprietary or uncommon magazines. Freedom Ordnance, the same folks who make the belt-fed 9mm AR upper teamed up with Classic Firearms to create the FX-9.
