best 9mm carbine?

[Sarrsipius]

I may be a bit bias.

That's pretty sweet!!

 

[Sarrsipius]

Me too

Top gun is an Olympic Arms K9 / 9mm

One of my favorite AR's and I love the big mag (look) not the small mag adapter look of most 9mm AR'a

I would have never guessed that was a 9mm with a mag that big.

^^^^^THIS!!

I have one and they function great. Mine runs on anything you throw at it, and they take Glock mags. Great little gun. I also have a hipoint. It also runs flawless, but only ten shots at a time.

I'm a Glock guy so I think I would add Glock Mags as a big plus.

I have a Hi Point 995 TS, works great, paid $280 for it at Big R in Crawfordsville.
The only downside is they only make 10 round mags. A 30 round would be nice.

I have the beretta (in .40) and its excellent. Super accurate and handles great. Im a big guy and its fits me better than Id expect. Great weapon.

I went with A
VECTOR ARMS UZI That I ordered from 21st century firearms ,read enough reviews & always wanted one.Mags are cheap & easy to find ,robust construction& lots of parts are available + 5 year warranty.Should get it in next week

I can't remember who, but someone DOES make extended mags for the hi point now...

I have the CX4 in .40 and absolutely LOVE it. I also have a 90-two in .40 that shares mags. I often consider picking up a sub2k or a hipoint but when I think about it, I will never own a glock so the sub2k thing gets almost ruled out and the hipoint doesn't use mags that interchange with anything, so that one gets shoved aside...then I go shoot my CX4 and all I can say is it leaves me wanting another CX4 and maybe a PX4 to go with it. One more thing, the CX4 breaks down so fast and easy it almost scares me...fully ambidextrous and super simple to switch sides too.

I know most of you are tired of seeing it, but I love this pair and this pic so here it is again:

These CX4 storms are sweet looking carbines! But, I just looked up the price on them and wow! Almost AR range.

True, but you can usually find them used around $500 if you look long enough. I paid full price, but it really is worth every penny. They are avail in 9mm, .40 AND .45.....The .45s are a bit tougher to find than the others and the .40 are a bit tougher than the 9mm but if full price doesn't bother you, any of them can be ordered.

 

[Colt556]

I'll keep my Colts.

 

[harleyindys]

I am going with HK clone CA 94 runs flawless fun as hell

 

[ThrottleJockey]

I agree, there are a lot of fun options avail. I guess what it really boils down to is what the OP is looking for, versatility/commonality of mags with guns already in the box or fun, or functionality, or ease of tear down, or ease of finding replacement parts, or accessories avail.....In the past few years pistol caliber carbines have really taken off and there are as many options out there as there are configurations for a 10/22.

 

[mjrducky]

I enjoy my 9mm Bushmaster quite a bit.

I've also shot the Hi-Point and it wasn't too bad either.

Agreed, and I am sure they are nice enough to be worth it! I haven't seen one in person yet but I dig 'em.

Plural huh? I wish I had one, my buddy saw one in a LGS and they wanted crazy money for it. Somewhere around $1300 I believe. Shew!

yes, pro mag makes a 15 round, for the 995, but everyone says they are junk.

 

[davedolli]

I am going with the Sub 2K in 9mm Glock as soon as I can find one.

Good choice!
I picked up mine a couple weeks ago from Indy Trading Post. You might check with them if you're in the area. Mine is a HC in glock 19.

 

[davedolli]

I called them today, they are out of them now. I'll find one somewhere. Have you shot yours yet?
