9mm carbine

[Tanners Owner]

I’d like S&W to make a carbine in 9mm that takes M&P mags as well has adapter for other brand mags in an AR or possibly redo the M76.

 

[Mrnurse]

M1940 and M 76 fill the bill. Given the political environment they may not be making pistols after Nov 3 let alone carbines.

I'd like to see a little carbine as well. However I wouldn't want it to look like all the other Robocop carbines out there. Ruger came out with one but it's a take down which adds a lot of weight for a feature I have no use for. Something along the lines of an M1 carbine maybe. At least as far as overall looks go.

 

[Telecaster]

Maybe something unique, like what Mechtech offers - attach your M&P frame to it, and you have two guns in one. Or a Bullpup stock. I personally prefer traditionally-shaped rifles to pistol-grip or robocop designs. Something light and handy, with iron sights.

 

[Dave Lively]

i would be happy with one that took M&P mags but offering other mag choices with an adapter would be a nice option as long as that adapter doesn't hurt reliability.

Speaking of reliability, something that wasn't straight blow back would be great. A 9mm blowback gun needs a really heavy bolt that makes the whole gun heavy and increases felt recoil, not that a 9mm carbine is going to hurt you. And blowback guns never seem to be as reliable as other types

I would also like something more traditional in appearance. It doesn't need to be blued steel and wood but there are already enough 9mm ARs and guns like the Beretta Storm and Keltec sub2K out there

SW is always behind in new products compared to Ruger.
There Are so many 9mm carbines out there plus all the AR 9's there is no benefit to SW just to use SW mags, Glock mags are used in many and can get 30 rounds.


I have a CZ scorpion "pistol" with brace it rocks! Much lighter than the Ruger PC which is more rifle like and now has all kinds of mods, It is a bit heavy but uses Glock mags which are some of the best magazines out there.

My Marlin 9MM Camp Carbine takes my S&W M659 magazines nicely.
I have noticed no problems with straight blowback actions being unreliable. Easier to manufacture.

I have a knockoff semi M76. I found a 8" barrel and went through the NFA process. Pretty fun but I don't shoot it much because of parts

My Dad had a Camp-9 carbine (my brother has it now). We never had an issue with the gun. Either using the OEM Marlin mag or S&W mags it went boom every time. We never shot anything but FMJ rounds in it. IDK if it would cycle JHP ammo, we never tried it.

Camp 9

Takes S&W 59 series or 69series mags. or these nice Marlin 20 rounders!

 

[mrmike7189]

Willing to bet that kel tec, or ruger will make an M&P version some day?
So many M&P handguns out there....would be a big market I think?

 

[BAM-BAM]

Had a Marlin Camp-9 carbine..... heavy as hell IIRC.

Today I rely on Beretta CX-4 carbines for PDWs.... 15,17,18,20 and 30rd factory or Mec-gar magazines.... pairs nicely with my Beretta 92 or Centurions.

IIRC 5lb and 29 inches long

Kel-Tec does make a Sub2000 that takes M & P mags.

The Marlin is steel and wood and the barrell is very thick. The receiver is one solid block of milled steel. The bolt assembly weighs a lot too. The beretta is plastic and aluminum? ...so yeah lighter.

 

[rwsmith]

I have a Kel tec.....

...and it's reliable, but I don't know if it's "Home Defense reliable". But I really do favor them for pointability and handling. I've always been a natural with carbines. They are my favorite type of gun.

 

[Turn4811]

I went Glock. I also went with an 11.5 inch barrel. It is technically a pistol but...

The pistol performs well eating any thing thrown at it.

You never carried an M-14 or M-21.

 

[BAM-BAM]

LOL..... I was thinking of the Marlin as a lightweight carbine like the the M-1.

For it's size and cartridge it was a heavyweight IMO

My brother has one and I've been trying to get it off him for years.

 

[mrmike7189]

Good luck!

Yeah they are hard to find. I've only seen a couple for sale, ever in about 20 years, and I bought 1 of them.
They are for sale on gunbroker&other websites, but they all want big bucks for them, and they nice....just not $1k nice imo
Nutnfancy like them too
