I know, I know, pedantic Phil. A PDW has to be full auto to be a “real” PDW. If you have actual full auto stuff, awesome. Flex on the poors. For the rest of us, what “civilian” pdw do you have? I’ll post up a poll, using the 9 hole review pdw subcategories from their video:  What is a PDW? [The 4 types of Personal Defense Weapons]  Basically, thread is mostly about what you might use to supplement your usual edc gun thats easier to transport/conceal than an A4 with a mounted bayonet if forced to leave the basement during interesting times. Feel free to argue about why your choice is the only choice and how anyone who disagrees is stupid.

Rattler with a K can. Fits in a basic (tiny, 19L) Northface backpack with suppressor attached. Didn't buy it to be my traveling PDW but I'll be damned if it isn't perfect in that role. Attached File |

The Tec 9 of course. What else would i use? Attached File I kid.. But my Uzi pro folds up to a hell of a small package and runs like a top. Attached File |

I wouldn’t feel too bad against common unarmored threats with my APC9k SBR. I have mine with the ump style folding stock, obsidian 9 with three lug mount and 33 round Glock mags loaded with 147 HST. It’s quiet, accurate, easy to shoot, and if you remove the can and fold the stock it shrinks down to almost nothing. |

Will have a stock in a few weeks. Excited to have it done soon Attached File |

5” 5.56 with a Binary trigger, of course. Doubles as a concussive device. Guaranteed to clear a crowd! Attached File |

Recently bought my first pcc for this reason. MPX-K with brace. Borrowed a buddy’s and shot countless drills against my G19 with rmr to see quantified proof that it is effective. I’ve been around enough unsuppressed rifle fire without earpro to know that its brutal in an urban environment. And im not real wild about leaving nfa items in the truck. Dont want a visit from the atf if they get stolen. |

I have examples from categories I, III, and IV. There’s a bit of temptation to SBR a Glock but I think I’d rather build out another MP5 clone. Realistically, the P(S)90 or MP5K-PDW would be my preference. Shorty < 10.5” rifles are fun and all but extremely fucking loud without a suppressor. Like I’m not going to enjoy 5.7 or 9mm without a can but 5.56 or 5.45 is horrifically awful without one. I think I’d just as soon avoid an area where Plan A needs to be “bring the optimal PDW” though.

What handguard is that? |
| In situations where I'm worried about zombies or commie militants or paragliding enthusiasts I'll usually throw the RDB in the trunk as my compact just in case rifle. I've been thinking something like a Recover chassis for a 5.7x28 pistol like the Rock would be an awesome little minimalist PDW though. |

Surprised this one took so long to show up. |
