Updating the light rifle
One of my colleagues stopped by. She didn’t bring any of her own rifles, but we borrowed a couple from a mutual friend.
Start with a standard light-barreled Colt 16″ AR carbine.
Add a Trijicon RMR on a see-through mount. The sight is tiny, so the bore offset isn’t increased by much.
Add a Battlecomp muzzle brake/compensator to remove barrel climb on rapid fire.
Replace the M4 telestock with a sturdier Magpul CTR. Tatiana’s technique with the stock fully extended feels odd to me but seems to produce much better control of recoil.
The light is a Surefire model with 500 lumen main light and two little navigation lights with momentary pressure switches.
The soon to be riddled gentleman in the red shirt is from IDTS.

Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm carbine
Gertrude first appeared in my photos almost twelve years ago.
Storm 9mm carbine has little recoil and is easy to configure for left or right hand ejection. One of my friends has an article about it coming up, I will link it once ready.
Primary Arms makes a pretty good compact light for not much money.

Bigger is more American
1963 Plymouth Valiant was considered a compact in its time, despite the 3.7L 6-cylinder engine.
Similarly, BAZ45 is a compact gas-operated pistol-caliber carbine despite the nice, fat 45ACP caliber. Feeding off slightly modified M3 Grease Gun magazines, it has the distinction of roughly .22LR level of recoil despite launching more than five times as much metal at similar velocity though the 10-inch barrel. 5.5″ flash hider ensures no visible muzzle flash.

Not an Operator.
My friend isn’t Army, Marines or special operations ninja. Instead of a short-barreled MP5, a Sub2000 has to suffice. It works.
Keltec weapon light on a rail forend, 50 round drum that actually functions, red dot sight, extended charging handle, GG&G adapter for single point sling, vertical foregrip. If 50 rounds feels like too much, 33rd and 17rd stick magazines also work.
Keltec light is small, bright and very simple in use. It does one thing — very well.

Red Lion Precision rotating rail
With Keltec Sub200o, you can either mount optics OR fold the rifle. Red Lion Precision rail allows both — loosen the collar, turn the forend 90 degrees left or right, re-lock. To deploy, reverse the process. It keeps zero.
RLP also makes muzzle devices and improved front sight. The optical sight shown is a very nice Primary Arms unit which combines a red dot with a very wide range of brightness and a green laser.
The laser just clears the front sight tower. A big advantage of having it above the bore is that the bullet path intersects the beam twice, just like with optics or iron sights. Lasers mounted below the bore only intersect the bullet path once, requiring offset UP at close range.

Why not both?
I keep seeing comments along the lines of: “Instead of telling women to carry guns, teach men not to rape.” Why should the two measures be exclusive of each other? The same applies to self-defense at home: 911 on the phone is great, but not to the exclusion of more immediate measures.
And, while not for defense, American Eagle Synthech 115gr polymer -coated ball is pretty good ammo. With higher velocity produced by the carbine barrel, reduced friction relative to copper jacket is a plus.
