S&W Response 9mm PCC | 16.5″ Threaded | 13800

The Smith & Wesson Response is a pistol-caliber carbine built around a polymer receiver with MSR-style controls and the FLEXMAG interchangeable magwell system. It ships configured for 9mm with a 16.5-inch threaded barrel, M-LOK handguard and a collapsible CAR-style stock for adjustable length of pull. For optics, pair this PCC with a versatile low-power variable optic such as a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 (or comparable LPVO) priced well under $1,000 to cover close-quarters and mid-range engagements.

Typical applications include competitive PCC matches and dedicated range training where magazine compatibility and controllability matter. The platform’s accessory compatibility and interchangeable adapters make it practical for shooters who want flexibility with modern double-stack pistol magazines.
