9mm carbines

[Ed steinberry]

best 9mm carbine under 750? Preferably one that takes Glock mags but that’s not a deal breaker. I’ve been looking at some of the palmetto state options but I haven’t fired any of them before.

Look at the Brigade Manufacturing BM9

 

[Beans&Bullets]

Ruger PC9 , can use Ruger mags or Glock mags. Under $750

 

[Cameramonkey]

PSA makes decent ARs. Dont sweat if you cant buy a complete PCC. I had to buy my upper and lower separately ( both complete, just had to put the two halves together) two days apart due to demand. Do they even sell complete PCCs now?

I really like my Ruger PC . Very accurate and can use Glock magazines.

Ruger PC Carbine. Can't get much better. It's heavier but it's reliable and accurate.

 

[marvin02]

I picked up both of my Ruger PC Carbines for less than $600 used. I really like them and use them for steel challenge.

PSA has "blems" for sale regularly. Last time they were $600. I got one and it runs great.

My AR9 and the Ruger PCC weigh just about the same.

Range USA usually has the Ruger PCC on their rental wall. If you're near NWI I'd be willing to get together with you.

I have an older model, one that takes the P-Series magazines...it's fantastic to shoot!
OP...for the $$, you can't go wrong with a PC-Charger...it's a tad heavy to drag around, but it's one heck of a reliable and accurate shooter!

IIRC I paid $480 after transfer for mine. It was the same year they came out and Brownells had a Christmas sale on them with free shipping. I can't believe how much they are now.

I can't believe how much they are now.

Well - what doesn't cost more in the last couple of years?

gun.deals shows the base model for about $540 plus shipping and fees:

Palmetto is out of the blem AR9's, but last go round they were $600 plus taxes, fees, etc.

The advantage/disdvantage of the AR9 is that you can customize it just like any other AR. I've already put a better trigger and a reddot on mine.

Foxtrot Mike makes an excellent AR9 in your price range. Great company and very nice gun. I have the 5" pistol version.

So not a Glock mag user but +1 for the Beretta CX4 carbine. Yes it is goofy looking but it is very compact, uses readily available 92 series mags including factory 30 rnd, and is fully ambidextrous with L or R hand ejection. I rarely shoot it but when I do I love it. No recoil, accurate, and fun.

I have both a Ruger PC9 and a Foxtrot Mike 9mm carbine. The Foxtrot is my favorite 9mm carbine.

If the brace rules were not going to change, another good one is the Extar EP-9.

OK, I'll go out on a limb - Calico 9mm! 50 to 100 rounds, bottom eject, fully ambi, not too heavy. Somewhat difficult to reload, but who needs that with 100 rounds? You just have to find one that's not a jam-o-matic. Awkward cheek weld, removing the mag unzeros the sights.

We have several, besides the Calico:
Uzi (a bit heavy but very accurate, and it's an Uzi!)
MP5 clone (no much bad to say about it, except the SBR is an NFA item)
Ruger PC9 (the old one that takes P-series mags - got for $400 with ghost ring sights as a police turn-in. Heavy but utterly reliable and fairly accurate)
Sub 2000 (the old one - originally took S&W mags but modified the Ruger P-series so they fit. Awkward cheek weld and strange cocking, but folds small)
Sub 2000 (the new one that takes G19 mags - haven't tried it yet)

Have you looked into MechTech?

 

[ACC]

Holy moly.....there are a TON of options for a 9mm carbine. Every gun company and its mother makes 9mm carbines.

Yeah. MechTech is kind of a cool, different way to achieve the carbine though.
Using a hand gun you already own parts, mags, tiggers, ext for and making it into a carbine.
Always thought it was kind of a cool way to do it

 

[BoilerWes]

You could always hold out for Glock to release one…

PC Charger ? Or PC carbine ?
