    If the MPX is out of your price range, I would pick up the Scorpion from CZ. That would be my next choice. There are some great social media forums/groups and decent aftermarket support.

    I like to stick to the T/C single shots. My current favorite pistol is a 14" 6.5 TCU with a Shockwave brace.

    Not a pistol caliber rifle but i love my 9mm and 45acp HiPoint carbines. Lots of fun to shoot and cheap as hell to buy.

    Marlin 1894 in .357mag or.44mag. The good JM-stampted ones are going at $750-850. Rossis are cheaper, but not as well made. Uberti and Cimarron make good ones, too, but they are expensive.

    I have a Just Right Carbine, it has been a fun, reliable gun. I have heard good things about the Marlin mentioned above, I wouldn't mind getting one some day.

    Sub2000? I have other PCC's that I like better, but they're more expensive. For the price, the Sub2000 can be a fun shooter. Mine is 9mm for Glock 17, but I have a friend with one in .40 and he really likes his.

    I have Ar9 Colt pattern, AR9 Glock pattern, CZ scorpion Rifle, CZ Scorpion SBR, Ruger PC9 and the Ruger PCC. They are all fun to shoot but love my Scorpions the most.

    I️ rally enjoyed the marlin camp 9mm. I had one for years and sold it awhile back. Excellent gun!

    I may need to snatch a 1894 lever gun again! I had one 20 years ago and loved it!!

    From the other PCC thread:
    I have tried and owned the following:
    Ruger PC9 (old style) - heavy, but sturdy, reliable, eats anything, uses my Ruger P-series mags, accurate enough. Get the ghost ring sight model if possible.
    HiPoint - cheap, hard to work on, but more accurate than it has any right to be, limited mag choice
    Sub 2000 (older model) - adapted Ruger P-series mags to fit (takes S&W), light, folds small, difficult cheek weld, takes some getting used to
    Calico - what's not to like with 50 and 100 round mags? Only kept the newest one - the older ones were unreliable

    Scorpion is cool. It does seem like after guys get done with upgrades though they will have about as much money in them as a Sig, but the MPX's also went up and I doubt that's the case anymore. If you could spend a touch more one of the Zenith offerings would be cool too. I see CZ as you go to on that budget though!

    This is my favorite as well. I prefer the 44 mag for deer. I would love to get one of the 1873 Italian clones, but you are right. Very expensive!
