Looking for a 9mm Carbine.

[flint stonez]

What do you have and what’s your experience?
Any recommendations?
My main requirement is that it use Glock 9mm magazines. Got plenty and would like to put them to use.
Thanks

Not that you did anything wrong, asking here, but here's a start, in the General Firearms section: Scroll to the top:

Good advice here.
This has been discussed here before, and is currently being hashed over in the thread link provided above.

Welcome to Ingo.

You didn't break protocol. You posted it in the long gun forum, where it should be.

You’re looking for a true carbine so 16” barrel right?

Yes. 16” would my preference.

I had a PSA colt mag version, and then a PSA glock mag version. Several hundred rounds through both, trouble free.

When people post a link like that, they are usually not yelling at you.
They are just pointing it out, cause there is often useful info already discussed.
And then, they often continue the discussion in the 'new' thread.

If I had the money, the Ruger PC carbine take down would be my choice

EP9 Carbine 16" 9mm | 18rd Mag

Extar EP9 Carbine with 16" barrel. Lightweight and affordable 9mm carbine that takes glock magazines. Includes 18 round magazine.

Had a first generation EXTAR EP9 pistol for a couple of years and it was flawless. Sold it in order to upgrade to the EP9 carbine. Very light, accurate, reliable and takes Glock mags.

Adapted the brace to carry a spare mag.

You still need to buy a stock so it will be about 2k but these are very nice PCCs

I’ve posted on other threads but my choice is the Indiana made (chandler Indiana!) freedom ordnance FX9, I own a 16 inch carbine and use it in steel challenge and idpa (sometimes), takes Glock mags, can be found on sale at a very reasonable price (palmetto just had the pistol on sale for 599!)
The customer service is amazing! One time someone drove there and they fixed their gun while they waited! (And while one of the owners was fixing it, the owners wife gave him a tour of the plant!) another time someone emailed them with a problem, freedom sent them a mailing label to return it to the factory to be fixed, after a few days freedom called him and asked why it hadn’t been returned yet!

My personal experience is I was getting ready to shoot it at a big steel challenge match, I called my friend who works there, I took it to them and they inspected it for me to make sure it was functioning correctly!, now in the interest of clarity, I know one of the owners (he’s on my gun club’s board of directors with me) I know their marketing manager, and I’ve know their production manager for over 10 years, but those stories in the paragraph above were strangers to freedom!

I only have 2 complaints about the fx9 and they’re probably the same complaints other ar9’s have!
1-it’s a blowback gun, so it’s hard on buffers! I’ve been through 4 (the rubber part mushrooms over the body of the buffer)
2-it’s got a metal magazine latch, so it chews up the polymer Glock mags, but a cheap as Glock mags are, they’re pretty much disposable anyway

Very much appreciate everyone’s patience with me bringing up an old topic. Definitely impressed with the information and sharing of experiences. Looks like I have a lot more research and now other carbines to consider.
Thank you

Glad we can help out. Don't worry about posting an incorrect question. Many of us like talking about firearms, when someone is looking for information on a type of gun.

 

[flint stonez]

So many choices and options. Since I’m not independently wealthy it’s great to get other’s opinions and then be able to do the research myself to find what matches my needs.
Thanks

Currently have a Ruger PC9 take-down carbine. It is reliable and accurate. The recoil is tame because the thing is very front heavy.

What he said. The search function on Ingo is kind of sketchy, especially for older posts, so even if you try, it can be hard to find existing info.

Welcome to the madhouse.

 

[flint stonez]

Thanks folks. Sincerely appreciate everyone’s input. Should I decide and purchase a 9mm carbine I’ll be sure to let y’all know.
