I've got a Glock 19 which is "good enough" for basically everything. But I'm getting the new gun itch again, and I want to ask if I should get a full size 9mm pistol for home defense, or go full retard and get a 9mm carbine like pic related.
I had one myself(sold it for funds for better funs)
It has feeding problems every so often, so you'll want to take it to a good gunsmith and have them set it straight, but it's actually a pretty fun gun.
If you're sincerely looking for something for home defense, see pic related.
glock19 is already just about the perfect home defense weapon. Just put a light on it and call it good. If you live on a rural property with lots of land you may want to consider something with greater effective range in case a wild Jamal or Juan skulks about outside. Id probably favor an AR in that case. That said, PCCs are fun, and if you have the itch go for it. Have you completed the holy burger trinity of pistol, shotgun, rifle yet, user?

Why? 5.56 has less penetration through walls but much better terminal ballistics.

The main advantage of 9mm carbines is that they have a longer range, which is only a concern if you either live in a rural area or plan to shoot niggers from your rooftop. For shooting niggers inside your house you might as well just save the money and use your Glock.

Not really, they're much, much easier to actually shoot well
Evan Davis
I used to be in the same boat as you.
Who gives a shit what you use for self-defense. The rule of the game is don't miss. A direct hit with a 5.56mm is better than a miss with a .22LR. Dry wall is basically fucking cardboard.

As a guy who has one that weighs more than a M1 while unloaded hitting steel at 250 is balls easy.
