What the heck is that PCC you got there, @Nature Boy?
I am not at all familiar with that model.

How does the drum work in your Ruger?
That looks like a great way to transport the Ruger PC Carbine. May I cask which size works for that?
I have 3 if I don't count 22LR
No pics but I broke down and bought a black Magpul Backpacker stock for my Ruger PC9. I gave up holding out for a tan one. I feel like it lightened the rifle and makes it feel more handy. The whole thing fits in a large backpack. Only down side is I now need to invest in Magpul QD sling swivel parts.
Am out of town but will post up some pics in a week or 2. Pre magpul stock:
My CZ Scorpion is a lot fun to shoot suppressed. Such a tiny little package. 147gr makes it even more fun.
My Rossi 92 is almost suppressor silent using starting 38 special loads and 158 RN bullets.

Feeds great. PITA to load 50 rounds in it. Doesn’t lock the bolt open after last round. Not sure if that’s a flaw or not.
Honestly, it’s more of a novelty. I got it because it completed the PPSh-41 look
I have two of them and they are both extremely fun to shoot.
My KelTec SUB-2000 in 9mm. I really like the fact that this gun folds in half and can be easily carried in a small backpack. It's accurate and reliable.
The other is my Henry Golden Boy Carbine in .41mag.

I like pistol caliber carbines as well.
Rossi Short Rifle in 45 Colt
Glock Model 20 in Recover Tactical brace. This folds up and fits neatly in the glove compartment
of the Mule. Very handy and the hogs hate it. Why brace a pistol? Because three points of
contact are better than two 100% of the time.
Ruger. It just stays in the safe. Shoots fine but I'm not thrilled with a 9mm sporting a 16" barrel.
Freedom Arms 9mm
PSA AR-9

The 22” one is the box I used.

The insert is from Kaizen Foam, they make an insert to fit the inside perfectly, I cut it to fit the rifle and some magazines and used silicone adhesive to keep the foam in place.
Stay safe.

I like revolver caliber carbines much more than pistol caliber carbines.

My patrol rifle was a .223 AR, I shoot a .223 AR in 3 gun and a 9mm AR at indoor 2 gun and Speed Steel matches. Having one "platform" works for me.
The 9mm AR was adopted by my wife, since the threats by BLM and ANTIFA, reside within easy reach and wears a "shake awake" red dot!
I get a kick out of watching her ring 8" steel at 100 yards. Each "ding" is followed by a cute little giggle! What's not to love!

Is .356 a pistol or revolver caliber? Asking for a friend!
I use .356 and .357 caliber projectiles in 9mm and .38 Spl (cartridge) firearms!
I also reload 135 grain .357 caliber projectiles in 9mm and .38 Spl. cartridges!
Smiles,

I like shooting 9mm in my pcc's but it can go fast so I',m glad that I have a couple of 22lr's to mix in with the shooting fun.

I have 3 9mm carbines. First was a Beretta CX4 followed by a Colt AR and a HK SP5. Since I got the SP5 I haven't shot the other 2. I also have 2 USGI M1 Carbines that could technically be considered pistol caliber and are my favorite long guns to shoot.

These guns allow for various ways to straddle the boundary. For example, this Ruger is set up for Cheek Pistol use.
I know of guys who just do the cheeck pistol thing with a naked factory Ruger, but I don't quite understand how they manage that. My hand certainly does not bend like that.
Although... I keep tinkering with it and it's not quite like the picture anymore. First, I swapped TRS-25 for an RMR. I kept forgetting to switch the sight on at a match. But more importantly, I am looking for an upright grip. I put a Magpul MOE-K2 there for now, but even that is not enough.
This particular configuration also sports CZ-75 magazines.

Where are you buying ammo? THis whole covid drought, 9mm has been cheaper the whole time. Its close to 30 cents a round right now. Vs .55-60 cents for 223/5.56.

Love my AP5 w/ brace, it's been a 100% reliable and fun gun to shoot. Didn't know there were optic rails available for the MP5 .22 pistol, was hoping the factory would have thought of that, but good to know it's possible. Have the M&P15-22 pistol and it's a lot of fun too.

The only PIstol caliber carbine I’d be interested in is one in 10MM.
I had a Beretta CX4 Storm (92 mags) before PCC’s were “cool”.
Last year I added three more:
An H&K USC/UMP Conversion in .45 ACP
An H&K SP5
And finally a Sig MPX K
I SBR’d the two H&K’s. The Sig has the original brace, which works just fine. Of all of them, the MPX K is my favorite. It’s scary accurate and there’s no recoil at all.
To me, it’s one less caliber I have to try to find and stock. I have plenty of 9mm and .45 ACP — and in a crisis it would be easy to find. .300 BLK isn’t nearly as ubiquitous. The ballistic performance of 9mm and .45 ACP isn’t as good but it’s more than acceptable for me.
