I recently put together a MKE MP5 clone...though I don't think it would be competitive against the various 9mm ARs, I have a strange desire to shoot it in a PCC match because...reasons.

Curious whether this thread can get anyone thinking about my zero-responses-so-far 9mm carbine ammo post.

I got a question on mag carriers.
For my Glock magazine PCC, I use this rig:
A few Ghost mag pouches up front for quick reloads, and Taco regular and long pistol mags behind to hold the 30 and 40 round Glock mags. This is my general Timmie rig, that I modify to accommodate whatever is interesting me at the moment. Incidentally, for Glock mags, most people are using Glock OEM 33 round mags with Taylor Freelance, Dawson or Taran extensions, to get around 40 rounds in the carbine to start.
For the MPX, I have a dedicated belt, and three Blade Tech MPX specific mag holders, which are available from Sig Sauer. On the MPX mags, I am using Springer Precision and Taran ten round extensions on the OEM 30 round magazines.
One of the best sources of PCC technical info is the PCC sub forum on Enos.

So now people are liking PCCs? In other threads here (I think I started one of them) I've seen almost nothing but negative comments about them. I had been thinking about a suppressed 9mm carbine for home defense use, thinking it could be a little more effective than a pistol depending on circumstances. Especially as there are proven 147gr subsonic ammo offerings readily available.
Or is this thread just about sporting/recreational use and not for use in a defensive role?
I'm not a ninja. Is it less effective in the home defense role than a pistol of the same caliber? Some pros I can think of are: easier to shoot well, it's probably a better platform for a suppressor, lots of choices for good optical sights.
I think we can all agree that a pistol cartridge is not as effective as a rifle cartridge at stopping a threat. But then neither is a pistol compared to a rifle, and pistols are a common choice in the HD role.
Maybe you could get Rob's attention with a PCC based on a Glock 19:
