You know what? I just realized one of my friends (range only) brought one of those Berettas to the range. I didn't get a good look at it and never shot it. Only one I've ever seen. He's a Beretta freak and has all kinds of custom modded handguns. I'll have to try it next time I see him.

whoa whoa whoa way to take what we said TOTALLY out of context. What we said is, for the price you paid, you could of gotten a AR that shoots a more powerful round and has LESS recoil than that piece of plastic junk that you brought to BA.

Yeah, but ammo is alot cheaper, and what recoil are you talking about. It's a 9mm, not a 12 gauge shotgun!

 

More powerful? What does that mean? Okay, so you got a ruger 22 and my SR9 is more powerful and holds more rounds.

More powerful meaning a .223 will go farther with more energy and do more damage than a 9mm

Right, and my 9mm will go farther and do more damage than your Ruger 22 auto

9mm vs. .45 - check.

5.56 vs. 7.62x39 - check.

 

But this is honestly the first time I've seen a 5.56 vs. 9mm caliber war

I was trying to get at that. Apples to Oranges

And my 7.62x54r with mess up your face, so whats your point? Oh and that bayonet on the end will do some nice damage too!

Huh?

 

Apples to grenades now

It's all relevant!

Okay, then my 45-70 will go threw your mosin, your AR, and your ruger 22 and still have enought umpf to take down a deer!

Epic Fail!

My buddy has 50 BMG rifle. Haven't shot it yet, but will in a couple weeks. >>.45-70

I don't know if I should laugh or cry at what this thread has turned into... :doh:

 

Anyway, there's something about these pistol caliber carbines... Every time I see them, they just look like a lot of fun. And the magazine cross compatibility some of them have with handguns is a big plus IMHO. Yes, if the SHTF I'd feel much better if I had an AR in my hands... but if all I had was a 92fs and a CX4, I don't think I'd be huddled in the corner crying about it.

 

Nice guns guys.

Well if it was truly a SHTF what would be in my hand is.... the hacksaw! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Tonight at BA Lunker let me try his Beretta Carbine, And Ill tell you it was amazing, What an awesome gun. I definitely hope to get one in the future.

 

For reference.

 

The PS90 does not look comfortable.

Great photo for reference! Thanks BCeagle!

Especially after shooting my 92fs

Definitely. That day totally changed my view on the 92's.

I wish it had been a photo of my collection.

If anybody is looking to add a GREAT pistol carbine to their collection. And it has the desirable Ghost Ring sights. $435.

I have bought from them before. They have good used guns at a decent price.

That's a pretty good price. Too bad it's a .40

I agree (mine is a 9mm), but there are some 40 lovers out there, so this is for them.

caso's has one of those PC40's and I don't know what the attraction is. It looks like a 10/22 that takes a ruger 40cal magazine. I don't get it.

For me at least, that's part of the attraction. It looks like a plain old rifle. No crazy angles and weird sights and what not. A nice simple classic design. I don't mind the crazy looking stuff (CX4 for example), but I also like simple sometimes.

To me it has the classic lines and look of the M1 Carbine, adjusted for New Jersey legality and modern day crap-plastic replacing wood.

It lOOKS like a M1 carbine but i still would rather a real m1 carbine. STUPID NJ LAWS!!! its a 70 year old design! let me own one!!!!!

+1. I would give up an AR for an M1 carbine. Well, maybe not.. but still. I really want one. Probably the first thing I'm gonna buy if I ever move out of NJ.

I don't think I've ever shot an M1 carbine. One of my buddies has one but we never shoot it. I've heard they're finicky about ammo and mags. But I have no experience.

I use to think the CX-4 looked weird and thought it looked awkward to shoot, But Lunker let me try his on Tuesday and I absolutely loved it and now want one. Only thing is its a little pricey. The Ruger PCR in 9mm might the next best thing.
