Pistol caliber carbine recommendations?

Featured Replies

My wife and I recently purchased a condo in Jupiter, Florida, and we have started spending some time there.  As luck would have it, our condo came with a gun safe!  It is currently empty, except for my CCW Springfield XD 9mm subcompact, which I am now able to leave down there to avoid the minor inconvenience of traveling with it. 

I'm planning on purchasing an AR, possibly a real Colt, an AK (Zastava ZPAP M70), and a 9mm carbine.  I have an old Ruger Police Carbine and a Keltec Sub2000 in NJ.  I was considering the Evo Scorpion, but have heard it might not be so great.  I'm not opposed to the newer Ruger PCC.  Anyone have a pistol caliber carbine that they really like?  I would love to hear people's recommendations.

If you're going to leave it in FL, look at the short barreled Kriss Vector. The CRB version is kinda heavy, but the shorty is pretty well balanced, I think.

I built my own and highly recommend it. Besides being a fun project you can make it to what you want.

Otherwise I seen a few Scorpions, Angstad Arms at matches run with good results.

If you own a Beretta 92 or PX4 you can use their mags in the Beretta CX4 9 carbine but hard to find these days. Plus the 92 mags come in 20 & 30 rnds.

Since you can get nice stuff - depends on your budget!

Some of the pricier options are the SIG MPX K, Angstadt Arms UDP-9 (or even the MDP-9 if it comes out soon), Faxon Bantam, or the H&K SP5.

Other nice options that you could get that aren't as expensive are the Ruger PC Charger, Kalashnikov KP-9, PSA AK-V, and the Grand Power Stribog.

Or the B&T APC9. 

I love my Ruger PCC…but you can get something a lot more fun in FL, as mentioned above. 

What are the requirements for the PCC?  

Tactial okay or want something more non-tactical?

If tactial is okay, a shorter barreled AR chambered in 9mm?
