I saw today the Springfield has a Saint Victor PCC, which is basically a 9mm AR. How much appetite is there for an AR-style PCC? I ask because the buffer tube of the AR, for me is one of its drawbacks because it limits its ability to accept stocks that either fold or significantly reduce its footprint when collapsed. Many PCCs today contain the bolt within the upper and can accept collapsible and/or folding stocks and still fire without issue.
To me, an AR PCC is rather antiquated and boring, especially when there are plenty of different designs out there (Stribog, Scorpion, MP5 clones, GHM9/45, APC 9/10/45, etc. I’m sure an argument can be made that people familiar with the AR or that don’t wish to deal with a brace or the SBR process will be drawn to it, but I’m not convinced that Springfield’s new product will “wow” people.
These are only my thoughts so please don’t be offended if my thoughts differ from yours. However, I’m interested in whether you have the same impressions and whether you think a 9mm AR variant is a wise choice for Springfield and will gain favor among consumers.
