Seems like it might be a fun gun, uses model 59 mags, right?
Have any of you chronographed these? I would think they would give the round another 100fps, at least.
How accurate are these and of those of you that own them, are they keepers?

Sir, as has been noted, that's a very good price these days. Yes, the 9mm Camp Carbines take S&W Model 59 series magazines. A buddy of mine has one, neat little gun. We haven't chronographed it, but his is more than capable of "minute of pop can" out to 50 yards.
The factory urethane-type recoil buffers tend to fail, so you'll want to replace that with the aftermarket blue silicone type. It's not hard to do.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
