Inland Manufacturing has just announced their new and fascinating pistol. It's an M1, it's a carbine and it's a pistol, but we will have to wait until March 2016 to have one of our very own.
The new "Advisor," Inland's M1 pistol, features many of the same characteristics of their original carbines and is modeled after the modified M1 carbines that were a popular conversion made by US Military advisors during the Vietnam Era. These "Military Advisors" found that the compact and reliable M1 carbine could be made even more suitable for their specific missions by cutting the barrels down to pistol lengths and using either a cut down standard stock or the M1A1 folding stock the folder was the stock of choice if they could get their hands on one.
These modified M1 carbines were favored by the US Military Advisors as well as the Tunnel Rats tasked with clearing the matrix of tunnels and engaging in extreme close quarters.
The new 2016 Inland Advisor features a 12-inch barrel with a type two barrel band, adjustable rear sights, push-button safety, round bolt and a low-wood walnut stock modified M1A1 stock minus the wire portion of the stock making the Advisor a legal pistol. Read the rest of the review here.
um..
Not new idea, and making the barrel under 16 inch only makes it a less effective M1 Enforcer but I guess its cute.
Well, that’s just a little silly.

I like it...
But they should rechamber it in .357 Magnum so ammo is plentiful.

Reminds me of the Charter Arms “Enforcer”.
The muzzle flash must be horrendous.
“There muzzle flash must be horrendous.”
And sound. I blame a good deal of my hearing loss to shooting a 7.5” Ruger Blackhawk in this caliber when I was young and too stupid to wear hearing protection.
I went to the article and it never said what caliber this is chambered in. (at least not that I saw). Is it 30.06 like the M1 rifle? If so that would be a hefty recoil for a gun that small, making accurate follow up shots slow and difficult.
So....
No interchangeable parts with anything else
No buffer tube to get a cheek weld on
No obvious way to mount an optic
Fires a round less powerful than 300blk and not used by anything else.
I wouldn’t by that thing with your money.
Is the top of the stock blocking the sights? For a pistol it looks kinda front-heavy, too...
What problem does it solve? I understand expedient modifications of available arms to make a compact weapon for hunting tunnel rats, but if you’ve got the luxury of building the perfect tool for a particular job methinks you’d not come up with this. Seems the product shown is a poor balance of barrel vs ammo, with the propellant having not burned sufficiently in the short 12” tube and pushing a sub-optimal projectile (used in rifles for better long-range ballistics). Better solution is likely a semi-auto shotgun configured like the above-posted M590 AOW, burning most/all propellant in the shorter barrel and pushing a more decisive slug.
If they used an M1 Carbine receiver it was 30 Carbine...
Thanks. I was not familiar with the .30 Carbine round. I am now.
