They should make one that will take 3rd Gen magazines.

Yeah, and if you find one they are higher than a cats back.
I saw one at the gunshow last week - the price tag on it was $995
When I bought mine about 6 years ago I paid $485 including shipping and FFL transfer fee.

This is my 9mm carbine, an Uzi which I've had since 1981. Totally reliable, but I don't like the looks of the longer barrel. I do have to admit it ups the velocity!

Ruger figured out a way to make adaptors for Glock mags. Shouldn’t be that hard to do the same for 5900 series mags. But they won’t. 3rd gen’s are forgotten by S&W.
Not that I mind too much. I have several M&P’s.

The Marlin Camp 9 will take the 5906 mags. I have a companion 5946 to go with the Camp 9, and also bought some Mecgar 20 round 5906 mags to go with it.
The folding carbine would make a good truck gun for road trips however. I may have to get one of the new Smiths, and an M&P to share mags with it now. Once the initial buying frenzy subsidies.

For some reason S&W doesn't list weights on their website anymore but other sources say it is 5 pounds, quite a bit lighter than the Ruger I had.
Its foldable but unlike the Keltec folds sideways so its optics friendly. I am going to wait until I see some reviews but if it looks like it will be reliable I am going to buy one. That's a significant if though. It seems harder to make a reliable blowback 9mm carbine than it does to make a reliable tilting barrel handgun.

Not into the folding style, but may be fun to shoot.

Your UZI is begging for a tax stamp and new barrel.
