No integral suppressor?
The US market is now flooded with 9 mm PCCs and especially 9 mm AR type PCCs.
I went the other way and got a RUGER PC chassis carbine (16" barrel). Then I upgraded it with ALL available M*CARBO parts, many MAGPUL parts and few TANDEMKROSS parts plus a HOLOSUN AEMS circle/dot sight. It is now ready for Steel Challenge competition.
What I like about the RUGER PC is the short blowback, weighted bolt with buffer pad. It just plain WORKS, and works with any ammo I feed it. If only it had AR type controls, but as-is it still rocks. And it has a cold hammer forged barrel in a PCC for under $1,000.!
The ONE innovation in PCC actions I feel is overlooked is B&T's hydraulic buffer. Now they only need to make it adjustable and they will have truly revolutionized blowback PCC/sub gun design. Their buffer is short so does not need an AR type buffer tube. This permits the use of folding or fully collapsing stocks.
