The more I read this thread, the more I want a handgun that looks like a Mauser C96 (AKA Broomhandle), is simpler / more modern in design, takes M1 Carbine mags and fires M1 Carbine rounds. With a really effective flash hider on the end of the barrel.

Now that I think of it, it's going to look like the Han Solo's blaster, especially if you mount optics on it.

In days gone by there were pistols called "Enforcers" as I recall. Pretty much what you are describing, so might be worth shopping around.

Which pistols take M1 magazines? There is your answer. Appeal is mostly to do with being able to use a longarm that accepts the same mags as your sidearm. The M1 has the same issues as the MP5, UZI, Thompson, etc.

The Enforcer.That may be cheating though. Along that line, every AR made could be called a PCC.

ETA- Dang, Merle beat me to it. Maybe next time I’ll read through the thread before posting. Nah. Probably not.
