Visually, they look odd to me, but I hear they run really well though. It's essentially an M&P, so you know you won't have problems with them. Ergonomically, I really prefer the M&P over others, but every wrist is different. For the money, you can't lose.
I have a Henry Homesteader and a Ruger Patrol Carbine Takedown. Both accept Glock mags and run suppressed without issue. When I was looking to buy a pistol caliber carbine, I originally wanted the Henry with the S&W magwell because I have a lot of M&P mags. The availability of the S&W magwells was almost impossible, so I got the Glock model instead. If I every decide to get rid of the Ruger (doubtful), I will get the S&W PCC and the S&W magwell for my Henry.

I wasn't aware of these. It looks like a SW pistol with a Kel-Tec front grafted to it. I'd assume reliability would be better than the Kel-Tec. Have you tried suppressing it?

I think this fine for 9mm and .45, but the M&P 10mm has had issues, so I shied away from the newly released S&W 10mm carbine. About an hour ago I just picked up the Ruger 10mm LC Carbine. Takes Glock mags, seems liked a better choice for me. Now I just have to find time to get to the range.

I hadn't heard about 10mm problems. It's not a caliber I have.

There are so many 10mm handguns nowadays, it is really a remarkable comeback.

I need another caliber like I need to break my pelvis again.
I didn't think I'd live long enough to see new guns in 10 mm and .40, yet I get email blasts every day touting new models.
