H&R M653 Clones Are Out, Thoughts?

[Kirk Freeman]

Arising from the ashes Harrington & Richardson was purchased by JJE from the Remington bankruptcy is is back to cranking out guns.

PSA/HR has now released the M653 clone with Mike from NoDak Spud (NDS now part of the JJE Empire) running the project. I have no need for this, as of the large warehouse of things Kirk does not understand, pistol caliber carbines are in the top 3 or 5. But I want to buy, and I need to talk this out.

What say you?

The carbine was delayed by the arm brace debacle, I need to find the video but the carbines were going to come with a shorter barrel and blade style butsttock. It would have been like above but without the part that goes against your shoulder, it would have been just a blade.

I posted a picture of it long ago, but I can't remember where now.

Don’t talk too much, you will just talk yourself out of it. Just do it! I have never really understood PCC’s either, but the ones like the S&W that fold…..yeah I think I need one of those. I can see the appeal of a foldable, concealable firearm with more accuracy/reach than a pistol, but much less footprint than a rifle.

@Kirk Freeman too. Remember that these really are not intended as PCCs, these are semi auto only versions of 9MM SMGs.
Colt designed them with a short 10.5 barrel, and a later special model was made for Department of Energy with a 7.5 inch barrel.

This!

A pistol caliber carbine is the size of a rifle, but fires a pistol round. Not useful.

A subgun with a barrel between 4 and 10”s is awesome. It’s small, concealable, cheap to shoot and train with, and WAY more accurate than a pistol.

Suppressed, with subsonic rounds, they give up very little compared to supersonic rounds. You can’t say the same for a rifle. .300 blackout is ballistically equal to .45acp at twice the price.

Subguns rock, even in semiauto.

If it was in 10mm, I'd be in....
