You can buy an actual WWII m1 carbine (maybe not a real pretty one) for around that price if you look. sheeshWhat the f*** is with all the pcc rifles over the last years being made in just about everything except 45acp! Ffs I'd already have a new pcc from ruger if they came in 45acp. Now henry......only in 9mm.

PCCs in .45 ACP don't sell that well unless it says "Thompson" on the side of it.

Cool and all but can I kill Goldfinger and avenge my sister's death.The AR7 design has been passed around. Armorlite, Charter Arms and Henry.
I remember discussing this with aircrew and seeing my first one. Pretty neat little rifles for survival.

yes, I just figure if you're shooting a small lightweight carbine, why use a pistol cartridge when you can use an intermediate pistol-rifle cartridgeYou do know that an m1 carbine isn't chambered in 45acp right?
Fyi.....I already have am m1 carbine.
that's the ticket for commercial success
Like a kid in a candy shop. Have fun.

Blah, blah, Uzi, blah, blah.
Thompsons are still in production (in Worcester of all places), while Uzi importation ended in 1989, so good luck finding one for sale.
And if you do find one, especially an ultra rare .45 acp version, it'll cost more than several new Thompsons.

If you are going the PCC route, why not go .45 Super or .450 SMC? Not much benefit to a 14" or 16" barrel with .45 ACP. Unless you want a can, then I get it. Also, isn't the Beretta CX-4 storm available in .45 ACP?
The whole point to a pcc for me is it takes the same ammo and magazines as my handgun......and the rifle is more accurate.
It amazes me that there are people that don't understand the ammo matching the pistol as an advantage to pcc. Your the 3rd or 4th one to mention going to a cal other than 45acp in a pcc.
As far as the cx4 storm.......I want a fire arm not one that looks like a mock up of Buck Roger's weapons.

I agree with ammo matching....which is why I agree with 9mm, 40 or 45 acp would be important. Is why i bought my 9mm Ruger PCC, breaks down in 2 pieces, takes same mags as my G17 and I can store them all in one short case and have access to a rifle, pistol and ammo immediately that all takes the same mags and ammo.
I think the market they are missing is the hunting market, for sure a smaller market....but when I go in the woods, I'm carrying a 10mm, .357 or .44 mag. To have a PCC to hunt with and carry the same ammo in that situation, while hunting, ammo that will actually kill a deer cleanly. Would be an ideal market to tap. This is why Ruger's old 44 mag carbines are hard to find and expensive when you do. I think this is why.357 and .44 mag levers are so popular now too, and also why I own them.
That said, I'm not buying 1000 dollar semi auto PCC. Especially when I own lever guns. If its not 600 bucks, no one is going to buy them. Though the Homesteader with the wood stocks is rather good looking for a PCC, I could see paying a little more in the hunting market for one. This would be fudd market mostly, and Im not sure how big it really is.
For black rifle type guys that don't hunt or care about looks, there are a ton of other options out there now.

Update on my thoughts on the henry pcc
I was able to handle 3 of them at ktp a week ago. 2 new 1 used. The used one and one of the new ones the front handgaurds were loose as f***. Like mossberg 500 rattle trap loose. I was disappointed to see that.

Considering Henry's usual quality, that's exactly the word I would use.
