Is This Better than a Pistol Caliber Carbine?
About this video
Colion examines whether a pistol chassis system (the MCK Evo) can outperform a traditional pistol-caliber carbine (PCC). He walks through his analysis of capacity, weight, ergonomics, and versatility, arguing that the chassis offers four points of contact, 90+ round on-gun capacity, quick convertibility back to a standard handgun, and familiar controls—advantages he suggests may eclipse purpose-built PCCs in practical terms, though he acknowledges the intangible cohesiveness of dedicated platforms.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues the MCK Evo chassis transforms a Glock (or 100+ other handguns) into a carbine with four points of contact, dramatically improving control and capability over a handgun alone
- He emphasizes the chassis holds 90+ rounds on-gun (magazine plus two carriers), weighs less than many PCCs, and converts back to a carry pistol in seconds—versatility he finds hard to beat
- Colion concedes that purpose-built PCCs offer a cohesive feel and ‘X factor’ but suggests those intangibles may not outweigh the chassis’s practical advantages in capacity, weight, and modularity
