I've shot a Friend's 1911 in 22 TCM and if you could get an honest 2400 FPS out of a pistol the size of a Glock 20 with a folding wire stock I think this could be a decent PDW. Short 22 caliber cartridge similar to a 5.7X28 or 22 TCM get about 2000 FPS with 40 grain bullets (22 Hornet performance or less). The 22 TCM bullet is a very versatile bullet and a polymer frame pistol the size of a Glock 20/21 could be carried in a chest horster, hip or leg holster. Add a six inch barrel, a wire stock with red dot sight and a novice could make hits out to 100 yards plus. Current 22 caliber cartridges like 5.7 X 28 and 22 TCM just need a little more velocity IMHO. Even a 22 TCM have a flatter trajectory than a 9 MM.
Add the burst capability of a Glock 18 with a spare 25-30 round stick mag and I'll volunteer to test it.
Realistically I prefer packing a pistol for close range encounters and having a carbine available if things go bad. I feel real comfortable with a Glock 19 or 43 and my Tavor or 16" AR-15 in 5.56.
