During my years in law enforcement, I spent much time in cramped and narrow areas and urban settings, along with narrow hallways where handling full-length rifles proved to be more obstacle than a benefit. So, the question arises — what type of firearm fits the role well where you might find yourself in cramped quarters, but needing capable defensive firepower?
