Ever since I sold my Marlin Camp 9, I've been wanting another 9mm carbine. I've worked hard to convince myself that I really have a need for one; self-defense, shtf, or some such. Truth is, they're not really a first choice for anything; can't hunt with them. I'd really hate to get in a shootout using one over 75 yards.
Nevertheless, I still want one. Just for the fun of it. I may wind up with a HiPoint for giggles.
Wow, that mechtech looks like an awsome addition to a collection! My first AR carbine though will be a dedicated rifle. Thanks for showing me the mechtech, realy neat!I would love an AR in 9mm (ideally one that takes glock mags) as I can pump out reloads cheap and I already have the glock mags and I am familiar with the platform. I had a Mechtech for the glock 17 and wish I still did (sold it).
I look at pistol cal carbines every once in a while, and drool. But then I start thinking about it, and they really only make sense as an SBR in a CQB role. Since 9mm doesn't inherently penetrate less than 5.56, its biggest advantages are easier noise suppression, and common ammo to handguns. For me, I'd prefer one in a format with matching mags to my carry gun.
