There are a couple of ways to improve the practical accuracy of handguns, outside of putting in the hard work and time-consuming repetitions required to master them. Dot sights help and increasing non-reciprocating mass helps, but as anyone who’s competed with a handgun against shooters using PCCs knows, the best way to make a handgun faster and more accurate is to put a stock on it. Four points of contact versus two is two times more betterer.
This translates directly to home defense as well. We should strive to be able to place hits rapidly in the center mass of an adversary, and the tools we choose to enable this should be chosen without preconceived bias. If it’s dumb but it works, then it isn’t dumb. We’ve had experience with stocked handguns in the past (see RECOIL Issue 35 for our review of the B&T USW), and that was enough to convince us that for a very specialized set of circumstances, the USW gave enough of a
