Pistol caliber carbines

[chezuki]

Yep
It's the one gun they make that's hard to laugh at.

They are literally the exact same action as the pistols.

They are literally the exact same action as the pistols.

For sure, but they work.
The pistols are ugly as hell, oversized chunks of zinc and steel.
Putting that action in a carbine seems quite a bit more viable.
Not saying they measure up in quality to say a CX4 or the like, only saying that they are a viable alternative, especially for those on a budget with recoil sensitivity.

Okay, it's not a 9mm carbine, but it's still in a handgun caliber (.45 Colt), and it's still definitely a carbine.

Definitely what I think of when someone says pistol carbine.

I'll admit, probably the only hi point I'd consider keeping if given to me.

The pistols are laughable only for thier shape and size. Someone tried to blow on up on purpose and it took insane measures to destroy it.

I have a sub 2000 gen 2 9 mm with glock mags I don't even want a glock but that being said this is a great carbine that is well worth the money. I got it for steel matches and it works great. I have pimp it out with new trigger, trigger spring kit, trigger guard. All done by me plus did not spend 100 bucks on those up grades. I got this carbine to see if I wanted one and yes I do with out spending 1200 on it. So you will get your money back if you don't like it. So go for it

My 9mm carbine. 9mm Largo that is.

I recently bought a Hi-point 9mm carbine for $262 shipped free to my FFL. The model came with a cheap sling and a foregrip. Took off the rear sight and replaced it with a Bushnell Red Dot I had. After Co-witness the front sight with the red dot it's very accurate. My kids love shooting it. Low recoil, cheap 9mm ammo, accuracy, happy kids for a low price carbine with a lifetime warranty. Cannot beat that for my situation.

I like the looks of the scorpion but if I'm spending $800+ then I'll just put together an AR9 with a dedicated glock lower.

Why don't manufacturers make a 9mm carbine that's competitive with the sub2k? Popularity is obviously on the rise. All we have now is the $400 sub2k being sold for $200 more than its worth. Then AR pattern, JR carbine, Sig, beretta and CZ at the $800+ price point. It's no wonder people are paying $100 over MSRP for the sub2k. There's no competition for it in that price range. I may just end up getting the sub2k anyway just so I can share with my glock mags and not have to buy more mags for another platform. Someone surprise me at SHOT please

The keltec is a plastic thing with crappy sights, and limited accessories. The PSA can be had for $700, and it is rock solid.

Just do this and be done with it


Just go with one of these and just build you an upper http://palmettostatearmory.com/blem-psa-9mm-billet-complete-glockc-style-magazine-moe-lower-blk.html

Yes.

 

[Slonsteady]

Nice PSA there!
I have two of these the other is black with a reflex red dot. Both shoot well the black one will bunch out the bull at 50 yards with the RD. HP customer service is the best I have experienced anywhere.

 

[Farm1]

I'll stick with my ar in 9mm.. If you want to get something in the Kel Tec price point to reiterate what others have said you can build a 9mm ar fairly cheap..

My Kel-Tec Sub 2000 gen 2, rings steel at 100 yards using iron sights. The bonus for me is using Glock magazines.

I wouldn't wait to long, they sell out quick. When I posted that link was the first time Id seen those in stock in about a month.

If someone would make an inexpensive bullpup 9mm PCC. It would offset the size since all it would need is overall length requirement and it would retain a close handling of an SBR while still being useful. And when I meant inexpensive, I mean just that. The Tavor and X95 are cool, but those are really pricey guns and even more so to convert to 9mm.
