Companion Guns: What makes them so appealing? PCC Thread

[better2have&notneed]

Just a heads up on the Ruger PC9 carbine...my bolt cracked where the hammer rides on the bottom, and basically locked up the action because the hammer snagged in the crack.





Appox 600 rounds fired, nearly all suppressed. Ruger did replace it for free, and paid for shipping both ways, so that was cool.
I do like the PC9, but will always worry about the bolt cracking again. My suppressed 9mm SBR AR wasn't had an issue in nearly 5 years... and it's more compact assembled and taken down. The 9mm SBR and suppressor fits in my 5.11 backpack or small Pelican IM2400 case.

My PCC/pistol companions are a Marlin model 1894fg and S&W Model 57.

Outstanding combo!
Henry .41 mag lever and Ruger Blackhawk here.
Marlin .357 lever and Ruger GP100, too.

Okay now I am worried!

I have a Blackhawk in 41 as well, just tote the 57 more often.

The good ole' combination of lever action rifle and matching revolver is always a good choice.
Especially with the Democrats now in charge of the US house.
For a time at least, a five or six shot revolver and a lever action rifle avoids what the Dems have in store for us.

When a pistol caliber gets heavy hitting enough, it gets to be too much for a handgun of convenient size.
While appealing having interchangeability it seems a compromise both ways.
