Pistol Caliber Carbine

[Cameramonkey]

Guns and ammo tv gave a pretty rave review on the high point carbines. I would like to shoot one

The only two bad things I hear about those are they are ugly and they overheat if you shoot them too much. But casual plinking they are a good deal.


I like my PSA AR-9. I replaced the upper with a Spartan Tactical to get the LRBHO. It works well, but as stated upthread, depending on the magazine spring tension, it may not STAY open. YMMV.

I’ve always wanted a pcc besides the hp995, that I picked around 10 years ago on Black Friday for $169, and traded off shortly thereafter. Recently the psa ar9’s dipped below $500, so I jumped on one, and so far I’m totally impressed.

They're not easy to overheat with 10 round mags. Maybe that's why there's not a magazine higher than 20.

I'm a big PCC fan too.
Where's the Beretta Cx4 love? I have two of them and really like them. They are light and handle really well because they are so short. Using Beretta 92 mags or Px4 mags means they are easy to get. They are uber reliable. A few mods make them a dream.
I have a Marlin 1894 in .357 if I want some more power.

What mods have you done? I'm hoping to find one tomorrow at the 1500 and if not tomorrow, very soon.

I like the CX4 too... but not that pistol grip/stock combo looking thing... That is kind of odd to me. I could see it being a workable platform, however.

Besides the ugliness, and cheapness, the magazines are the weak link.

Another vote for Hi-Point - have the carbine in 9 and 45. Best bang-for-the-buck of any gun I've owned.

Yeah, they're heavy and ugly, and you probably don't want your friends to see you with one, but when you're alone together it can be a lot of fun.

I had the ATI stock on mine, it really helped with the ugliness, and cheap feeling. Mine was the old model, the newer TS models are probably better.

I've been looking at those and the Henrys.
Would be nice to have a carbine in .357 to share with my Model 19 S&W revolver.

I personally prefer the Henry over the Marlin. Loading the Henry is easier and I have had issues with the Marlins that I have owned cycling and jamming. Both brands shoot great just prefer the Henry over the Marlin.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

Don't know if you reload Act, but microgroove Marlins can be troublesome with cast bullets. Don't overlook the Uberti 1873 in 357 magnum.

Hard to beat for the price on a factory SBR.

If they ever ship. It'll be great in the spring. Just sayin.

Pistol caliber carbine always makes me think of lever gun.

+1. Like my Yellowboy. .44-40 rules.

There are several on GunBroker right now. They're not hard to get.

My Uberti 45 LC is such a ***** cat. It makes me wonder if that round will even go through a paper target. I tried and tried to find a matching lever action / single action pistol in .357 but gave up and went .45 LC. I had no idea that round was so much more $$$ to shoot or I would have held out longer. I'm thinkning about trying it in a steel match.

My Hi Point is the funnest thing to shoot I own. Ridiculously accurate and just a blast to shoot. If it had a version with higher capacity everyone would have one.
