I want an Tavor MTAR bullpup in 9mm. Seems like the perfect gun for social work.

An old Veteran that I know had a Mauser .9mm that he had brought home from WWII, and he was kind enough to let me fire some rounds through it.
My personal favorite 9...
Bought my wife a CX4,she loves it.
I don’t have a 9mm carbine, but I do have a bolt action 375 H&H magnum.
Ar15 chambered in 9mm
Never has let me down.
A short carbine in 9mm would go good with my Glocks. I don’t have one.
I do have an 8 round S&W 627 and a lever gun, both in .357.
Kel-Tec Sub 2000 is a mighty fine carbine.
Bkmk
Is M-1 carbine round similar to 9mm in characteristics?
Thanks.
Are 9mm cartridges designed for the longer barrels commercially available?
OH MY GOD!!! Look at all those assault machine glock-47s that shoot high capacity clips at thousands of cop killer dum-dum rounds per second.
I remember back before the Gun Control Act of 1968, you could order Spanish Destroyer carbines for a low price. They were bolt action and used 9mm Largo.
Caliber is what kept me from buying them. 9mm Largo is a little easier to find today. Sort of wish I had one now just for plinking or walking around the woods.

I love my Marlin Camp 9.
So....what are the top five?
Of course none are Califoria legal.
The careers is ALMOST wound down and I will finally be abel to escape Gulag Kalifornia for the USA. Virginia specifically. I hope VA doesn’t turn blue in the meantime. I think all these are legal in Virginia.
I will go to my grave wishing the M1 Carbine had been chambered in .45 ACP. It would have eliminated the creation, manufacture, and logistical transport of an entire cartridge, simplifying everything.
The M1 Carbine was designed to be a close quarters support weapon for rear echelon troops. Never mind that it was used at the front. It would have been just as effective if not more so effective chambered in .45 ACP. We used hollow points and the .45 made a bigger hole than the .30 Carbine with full penetration. Period.
I will NEVER understand why the M1 Carbine was not chambered in .45 ACP, unless the entire thing was a pork barrel boondoggle to create a cartridge and sole source prodution to political friends or some such idiocy.
If the .45 ACP was good enough for the Tommy Gun, it was sure as heck good enough for the mission stated for the M1 Carbine. Yes, I realize the Thompson was full auto. I don’t care. The point is, .45 ACP makes big holes for close up work, and the M1 Carbine was ONLY purposed for close up work. If you are at the front, you should be carry a Garand, not a carbine.
Since we can’t get anything good here in California, I was excited to see that somebody makes an M1 Carbine clone chambered in 9mm.
Chippa firearms makes the M1-9.

The good news is, it is a sweet little 9mm carbine in a classic package.
The very very bad news is, it is a POS. They changed the action to direct blowback and the gun is a complete jammamatic. It fails to feed and go into battery with stupendous regularity.
Just my luck somebody finally chambers the M! cabine for 9mm, and the company happens to be incompetent.
Crap. Just crap. I would buy 2 of them in a heartbeat if they were quality made by Walthers or even Rossi or other decent manufacturer. Instead, Chiappa is just plain garbage.
Just my luck. Balderdash!
Funny how most of us have the same ser of carbines. Of course the best one is the one you have in your hands at the time you need it, all the rest are just runners up.
