I am all about this. Having recently got into the PCC game its just to much awesome. I love a SBR or ARP but dang these PCC are just great. I bought a CZ Scorpion and its a dang on bullet hose. Now that the Army is in the market and its in all the match its about to be as hot as that Trump SCOTUS pick. lol

The Prime Contenders

The MPX,
Scorpion EVO 3 A1
CMMG Ultra PDW Sub Compact Weapon’
Lewis Machine & Tool Company is submitting the intriguingly named ‘MARS-L9 Compact Suppressed Weapon’.
Quarter Circle 10 5.5 CLT and 5.5 QV5
Angstadt, UDP-9
Trident Rifles B&T MP9
Berettas New PMX Submachine Gun
Heckler & Koch UMP-9
I know there are some MP5 knock off entered as well.

surprised that HK is only submitting the UMP-9 and not the MP-7.

Redesigning the MP-7 for 9mm might not be worth their time for such a small contract.

I was thinking the same. They already have the contract and figure they are already going to lose it anyway. They know how the game is played.

Interesting, I rented a CZ Scorpion and thought it was a hot load of garbage.

Which is odd because I'm a CZ fanboy.

MP-7 is overrated, either Sig MPX or HK UMP 9 will win.

whoops, didn't read the part that the requirement is that the gun has to be in 9mm. i just assumed PDW, any caliber ok.

then i'm surprised that KRISS didn't submit their vector.

I think the MP7 is awesome but the caliber sucks ***. IMO Sig or HK will get it. However, I cannot wait to get my CZ Scorpion S2 Micro that I have backordered. Kinda a dream gun.

They should rethink that and pick the .300 Blackout SIG Rattler. Smaller than an MP5 and much more powerful. Punches level II body armor like butter and works great with a silencer.

300BLK would be a great choice, the Honey Badger needs to make a comeback

No Kriss vector? But all the movies....

[Tere_Hanges]

The MPX or MP9 is the obvious choice.

The MPX or MP9 is the obvious choice.

Why the MPx? Its not a better suppressed weapon weapon (due to the charging handle being by the face and Sig is currently have QC issue across the board.

The MP9... yeah I go nothing for it except I want one.
