The civilian PDW, my Sig MPX Copperhead.

You aren’t selling yourself short with your set up at all, and it’s better than a handgun.

Something like the Copperhead would certainly be an improvement over a standard pistol though.

What makes it better than a standard pistol? Outside of suppressed use, I don't see the appeal for any practical purpose compared to a duty handgun, given that it's not select fire.

The stock is so short you don't get much leverage and are also super scrunched when shooting. The overall larger package means it's much harder to use SHO/WHO, while being less maneuverable overall. The barrel length is shorter than most duty sized handguns. Deployment is more difficult and involved than a handgun if you're out and about.

I guess if you're a shitty pistol shooter, sure, the micro PCC will give you better shooting performance. But if you're a good pistol shot, the minimal advantage of a micro PCC seems to be outweighed by its many downsides.
