9mm carbine

What role does the 9mm carbine serve in your collection?

Trying to decide if I need a 9mm AR, or maybe the 9mm Tavor kit if I get one of those.

Had an HK MP5 clone that I loved. Great little rifle, but I ended up liquidating the inside of my safe. I thought of going with the AR-15 platform, but decided to pickup something that was designed for a 9mm. Really, it was just a cool toy to have and talk about with my friends and family. Wished I still had it, but I could see it not getting used a whole lot.

I have an UZI (9mm) it wouldn't be a goto gun but it sure is cool and frankly, it's fun to shoot! (Especially with a can)

Good points. Fun is always a good reason. lol
I was intrigued by the Tavor kit, but depending how involved it is, may not be motivated enough to swap back and forth between 9mm and 223 all the time....

The tavor, IMO would make for a better 9mm carbine. This is based on the fact that it is a bullpup design and very compact with a 16" barrel. No NFA required.

I love my 9mm AR.

I have a Rock River LAR 9 which I absolutely love. I bought it on 9/10 with the excuse that the zombie apocalypse was imminent. So it is my zombie apocalypse gun. My reasoning is that it is a capable rifle, using inexepensive and abundant ammunition, and uses 32 round magazines. I can take out a lot of zombies with it if that becomes necessary. I do need to pick up a few more mags for it. I even bought a "Zombie Ammo Can" to go with it that holds a little over 1000 rounds. Oh, and it is an incredibly fun gun to shoot! My boss has been itching to put a suppressor on it to play around with, and I've been itching to let him. That should add to the fun factor! And then I'll probably end up buying a suppressor!

I've really enjoyed my dedicated 9mm AR. The AR is a really familiar platform and the 9mm is fun....pretty cheap to shoot and a fun conversation piece. I don't know if the Tavor kit is finicky with a conversion but a lot of AR 9mm conversions seem to be. I bought a factory built Colt so I wouldn't have to worry about any issues with a conversion.

I recently bought a Beretta CX4 Storm. I didn't know it at the time, but it has ambidextrious charging handle and ejection. Never had that in a rifle before. If I decided to, I could get a beretta 92 and the magazines would work in it too. Purpose? I got it to shoot steel challenge competition with my granddaughter.

While not a 9mm I have a Kriss Vector carbine. Low recoil and low weight make it great to shoot and with a big enough night stand a perfect house gun. Fun to shoot and does not cost a fortune!
