Always been a fan of lightweight firearms with decent power. Purchased a M1 Carbine in 1988 at a pawnshop/gun store in Lawton, OK. We trained with M16A2 in basic and AIT, but the surplus military market had tons of stuff. I do not remember seeing any AR firearms during that period or I was just blinded by that M1Carbine.
I still love my lightweight friends, and that journey directed me to the ROCK 5.7. IMO, the 5.7 round in this category is OUTSTANDING. I have a few 9mm PDWs and they match up well with Glock pistols.
I have not seen many pics on this category. Considering the ROCK magazines work in the LC Charger and LC rifle is why I purchased a ROCK pistol. My original plan was the S&W 5.7, but the price difference between the ROCK pistol did not make sense for me.
personally i am a big fan of them, i love my arv i built and i had at one time an ar9 with a 4" barrel and that was awesome… im a big fan of the 5.7 round and have been for over. decade… that round got me into Bull pup weapons, and the ps90. so im into those… i do hope to pickup a ruger carbine in 5.7 someday soon.
Especially for home defense. The PC Charger is one of the few PDWs/Subs/PCCs (whatever you want to call them) that doesn’t seem to have cycling issues (at least in my personal experience) as well. I love the idea of an AR9, but they’re notoriously finicky and I’m not paying HK prices for an MP5.
They increased their prices because they were not $550. There a few videos on YouTube about this PDW, when the gun was $400, and I already had a brace. Still not a bad price for what you get, imo.
