Farthest Range You've Shot a 9mm Carbine

[Marine Cpl]

Are those M1 9mm carbines a quality gun? Chiappa Firearms - M1-9 CARBINE Never heard of that outfit, but they cost less than a used camp gun and way less that what you have Will.
Robin

Get a hold of @Phazer . I believe he has one.

I held one at a shop awhile back and did not like it one bite!!

 

[Robin]

I don't like junk and am too old to screw around with equipment that doesn't work properly because of poor design, inferior materials or shoddy workmanship. A well made gun feels right in ones hand and is a joy to shoot. Thanks!

[GTN]

I would love to have a semi-auto, pistol caliber carbine, that sounds like a lot of fun. What kind of gun are you guys using?
Robin

You can try mine out sometime if you would like. I'm running a local made JR Carbine

 

[Robin]

Thank you GT! Yes I would, let me know when and where, or we could shoot off a few here, or at LGC.

tomorrow morning around 11 works for me. You?

I had a hi-point that would ring the steel plate at 150 easily. Believe it or not that ugly old thing was 100% reliable. I had a sub 2000 that was a jam o matic.

 

[Robin]

Sounds good. Where(?), here(?), LGC(?), other?

This review is not very good. The bolt hold open is lousy.

Mine at first was finicky, after the first 200-250 rounds it's been flawless. The Firing Pin gun range in Bergen (near Rochester) has a rental unit that has over 5,000 rounds through it, they claim it's one of the most reliable units they rent...The latest versions have the bugs worked out, they (Firing Pin)have sold many and no complaints yet..

For this month's challenge I am going to put a PCC target catagory up.

 

[Robin]

I'm kind of a 'lets blow up some milk jugs' shooter. whats a PCC? I got to get in on these monthly shoots!!!
Robin

 

[FLA45fan]

PCC = Pistol Caliber Carbine

 

[dsdmmat]

It has a 3 inch 10 ring. Should be easy enough for a PCC.

GTN was nice enough to bring his 9 mm, JR Carbine, over this morning so I could look it over and fire off a couple magazines. It is a much nicer gun than I thought it would be and has a good feel to it. It can be made into right or left hand and over all it gave me the the impression of a solid, well put together gun.
Fifty yards off hand and not trying too hard for accuracy I was more interested in how it all felt as I ran through a couple magazines, fairly rapidly! I was pretty surprised at the group, having never shouldered the gun before I didn't think it was too bad all things considered.

Thank you GTN!!

What did that run you?

 

[turbobike]

My wood 9mm M1 was $389...Firing pin rents the gun for about $10 a session plus ammo...

 

[meketrefe]

200 yards.

 

[Snappo]

The only 9mm carbine I own is an Uzi. I shoot 100 with it; but I suspect it can go a bit further. It's only 1200 fps at the muzzle, IIRC. I think it's supposed to reach 200 meters; but I have to assume it would be definitely subsonic at that distance and lost stabilization.

Wait. Weren't you ignoring me?

200 yards.

Meke what grain did you use?

 

[meketrefe]

All sort of ammo. Have been shooting for 35 years.
Same thing with the 22LR shooting at 200 and even 250 yards.
I have cleared a lot of pests including some pretty large birds and even a few foxes.

Thank you GTN!!
Robin

And had your 1st time with a Glock

 

[Robin]

Oh yeah, GTN let me blast a few rounds out of his Glock!!! I freely admit that when it comes to foreign born pistol's that SIG is my 'iron' of choice, but I have to say, for my very first time with a plastic popper, that was one sleek little unit, 9mm, very small, and very nice shooting piece of equipment. It holds nice and must have good architecture because for such a small gun its felt recoil was negledgable and easy to manage. Guess I'll have to rethink some of these things. Oh yeah, very easy to carry, I didn't even notice he had it on him even though I assumed he was carrying, heck that would work even on us scrawny dudes!
Robin

 

[Marine Cpl]

So GTN taught an old man some new tricks!

 

[Robin]

Yes, I was impressed, with both guns.
Robin

 

[Robin]

I also think these guns show that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a well thought out, well engineered, well put together gun.

You know Robin, I used to be a 1911 guy. My first and only gun was a Colt Series 70. Steel and a caliber made by an American was the only thing I would carry. That was until I shot my dad's Glock 19 in Florida. It was so light! He let me carry it around. It was almost a whole pound lighter and shot good! I became a fan of plastics.
