    Anyone have one?
    How do they run?

    I'm looking at the new 10mm carbine.
    Truth About Guns says it's a serviceable rifle, but how accurate are they?
    I realize not many of the 10mm's are out yet, but I thought I'd ask about their carbines in general.
    They have had a 9mm carbine for some time.
    Anyone have any experience with them?

    I have the 9mm. Got it in a multi gun purchase. Has what I think is a wood stock that is factory?? Have ran plus p ammo in it. Have run as cheap a nine MM as you can buy. Works well trigger stinks.

    I keep it it because it reminds me of my favorite movie “the planet of the apes” .

    Accurate beyond what the price would tell. Always shot it offhand so I never really shot a group style bench.

    I have a marlin camp 9 that is pretty accurate shooter.

    I have one in .40 and it's a tack driver at 50 yards and in. I can hit 4"-6" plates with it all day long. I haven't really taken it out past that distance though.

    They are very soft shooting and mine has been reliable. I love it.

    I have the 9mm version. I added a Bushnell Red Dot and it's very accurate at 50yds. Me and the kids love it. It's ugly but reliable and fun.

    That's what I wanted to hear.
    I told my friendly neighborhood FFL that I was considering one just this evening.
    He told me one of his distributors just emailed him yesterday to say they would have a handful available next week or so, and that he was already thinking about getting one to put in the shop..
    He said he would order me one too if I wanted him to, and it would come in something just under $300 out the door.

    M.S.R.P. is $389, so I think I'll take him up on the offer.

    Thanks everyone for your responses.

    I have shot the 9mm variant, and they achieve their goal: functional and cheap. All other aspects (trigger pull, fit and finish, etc) were not so hot.

    I would be a little hesitant about one in 10mm though. They are known for using very cheap build materials (pot metal?) and I would be curious how that would hold up to 10mm.

    Have the 9mm and 45 version. If the 10mm version runs and is as accurate as the others you will not be disappointed. Stay away from promag and use only Hipoint mags and I've had zero issues. Ive only shot mine at roughly 30 yards but a 2-3" group at that range is very easily achieved. When i shoot them at the Ikes which limits me to 50ft, 1" groups all day long.

    I had one when the first came out in 9mm. I shot it a bunch with no issues. Fact is I dont know if I ever gave it a serious cleaning.

    Still have one, after promising myself to get rid of it so it wouldn't infect the rest of my 9 mm carbines. Not so easy to work on, but way more accurate than it has any right to be.
