Really? What do you use it for? Seems like a handgun would be more suitable for the territory this rifle seems to cover.

Just asking, I don’t know.

I can make much tighter groupings at fifty and seventy-five yards with the carbine than I can with any of my three 9mm handguns. ... It might also be handy to have a carbine and handgun using the same ammo if and when de-zombiefication is in order. Aaaaand, the Hi-Point carbines are fun to shoot. When I take one out at the range, there are always two or three who want to know about it and end up wanting one after they shoot it. [Tech. is that the velocity of the round exiting a sixteen inch barrel is greater than with a four or five inch barrel ... hollow-points are more likely to do what they are designed for, spread out and make wound channels larger. That’s why I’m eager to try out the .45 carbine, when/if it ever gets on the market.
