PDW's

[sousana]

We had HK MP5's that were fully silenced when I was assigned to the USMC Security Force Battalion. When it came to being indoors, I much preferred an M1911A1.

NOTHING beats a 1911

Let's agree to disagree. I have a SIG MPX (9mm) that is an outstanding and compact SD firearm for home or vehicle.. I also built a .300 BLK pistol (also 8" bbl) with Silencerco Omega 300 suppressor. Too each their own!

Sounds nice but also sounds void of the realities of gunfighting. Have fun.

I don't know how new it is. H&K's semi-automatic stockless version of an MP5 - H&K 94 PDW - was around before I retired in 2006. I don't know when they came up with that term, but it's been in use for at least 20 years.

The M1 Carbine was considered one of the earliest PDW's.

My take on the concept, because I could assemble it myself using some parts already on hand. Easier to shoot than a pistol, capable of better hits at longer range, and a bit handier than a real rifle. And it looks cool, which clearly is the best thing.

A Personal Defense Weapon can be anything ...
you could call my walking cane a PDW because I can beat heck out of someone with it ... actually it makes a Dandy PDW ... DPDW ... just stuff to talk about I guess !

I have been seriously tempted by the FN P90 on several occasions. Then I realize that I can get 2 or 3 nice handguns for the same money. The temptation passes.

I was very lucky to come across a PS90 in a small local gun shop that was closing. It was already a military/LE-priced model, and the added going-out-of-business discount made it too good to pass up.

I needed it like a hole in the head, but it is one of the most fun-to-shoot guns I own.

I've got a few 9mm PDW's, but in an emergency situation where I needed to go mobile, I'd probably take the SBR'd Glock.

Have to guess with many acronyms as here on this forum with PDW and IIRC. But that's OK...that is the acronym for OK. Dang, now forgot the thread title...but that's OK. Old and grouchy today. Shoulda just let it go.
