It allows you to switch between the two with the same gun at will.
Thoughts on pistol stocks?

If the NFA didn't exist, I think having a board stock in a vehicle that is compatible with your carry gun would be useful.
But in the real world, just like they realized 110 years ago, it is of limited utility to have a pistol that you carry in a holster that doubles as a stock, and with the law today, you couldn't even carry it concealed if you did SBR it.

Yeah but you have to carry all that dumb shit with you too
It's much easier to just have both options.

See
A stocked pistol has no cheek weld, a shitty quasi 2nd point of contact 3 inches in front of the first, and limited modular options for optics.
Realistically what are the odds you'll find yourself in a scenario where you can dig a bunch of plastic shit out of your bag and wriggle a stock and foregrip onto your gun where the benefit would be worth the time expenditure?
I just don't see how this is an argument for functional benefit in any way more than it's an argument for not having to spend the money for the option that works.

Just buy a pistol caliber carbine. Ruger, Beretta, AR pcc. Hell even ps90.
Why dont they make a .44 mag semi auto like the old Rogers? Even a tube fed .357/.44 semi auto would be cool in cuck states.

This same debate took place in the mid to late 1800s. The answer was lever action repeaters in pistol cartridges. The modern equivalent would be an AR pistol caliber carbine.

Lucky bastard. All I got was a later war Arisaka that I'm afraid will blow up if I shoot it.

>just carry a rifle and a pistol!
That's a significant weight increase. A pistol stock adds like a 1lb, and uses the ammo your already carrying. A rifle adds at least 4lbs, and significant weight per mag. Your looking at a 3x weight increase. Realistically what are the odds you'll find yourself in a scenario where you can dig a rifle out of your bag, assemble it, where it would be worth the time expenditure? You don't always have the space and weight to add a rifle, expecting to makes no sense.
I'm not arguing for it being better than other options in capability, other than at the weight.
If you have 3lbs to spend on the 'best' weapon a pistol with a stock/Brace is hard to beat. If you can take more size or weight then there's no question a rifle is objectively better.
I'm not arguing for thinking you'll be able to rip a stock out of your bag and throw it on your gun in a second either for a defensive situation. That makes no sense. Also not all gun use is tactical defense scenarios. What about a hiking gun and you see a pig at 75 yards you want to shoot?
