Pistol caliber carbine plinker

[burgeman86]

I know there are alot of adverbs in the title but I am really considering getting a new play toy in a pistol caliber. This carbine http://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/THE-J-R-CARBINE-c282.htm has peaked my interest. I was thinking about either the 9mm or .45. I was hoping someone had some insight on them. I have read multiple other forum posts about it and the carbine started out rather rough and it seems the manufacturer listened to the complaints and over time has ironed everything out. The latest reports are mostly positive, I just wanted some local knowledge before I pull the trigger.

Also if anyone has any suggestions for who I should go to to order one, if I choose to get this carbine, it would be greatly appreciated too.

only place i can find that sells that rifle is here: http://www.woodburyoutfitters.com/EMF-JR-CARBINE-9MM-JRC9MM-P3760.aspx

and they want $679 for it... if you're going to drop that kind of money on an ar wannabe, why not just spend the same amount on a 9mm ar?

+1

If you're gonna spend that kind of money and what pistol caliber I would suggest the Beretta CX4 Storm. I have one in a 9mm and I LOVE IT!

Even Hi-Pernt haters generally agree the carbine is a fine gun.

Do not click on this link, the site looks to have been hacked this weekend.

+1 on the cx4. Very reliable and with a dot sight it is the easy weapon I have ever shot.

I thought the Hi-point uses their "factory" pistol mags in the carbine, so that might be the reasson for them to be single stack 10 rounders so they can re use existing inventory which are California Safe LOL.

No, the carbine and pistol use different magazines.

THen its definetly a waste IMO, whats the point on NOT saving resources and provide a carbine in the market with a 10 round mag.

pick up a good glock conversion kit

 

[Pale Horse]

not sure why you'd make it a single stack at all. it's not like you need it to be thin to conceal or something.

Hi Point tooled up to make them during the Assault Weapons Ban, and redesigning the rifle and changing up the factory would stop production for a while along with driving the price up.

Did someone say Pistol Caliber Carbine? Ooooh I love the sound of that!

They don't HAVE to be scary looking, ya know!!

 

[Hay-Wire]

I have a Hi-Point carbine. Not too shabby for a dirt cheap carbine. Nothing I would rely on, but it makes a great plinker. Next stop is to get a can for it and make it a quiet plinker

 

[noob]

I believe kel tec makes one that uses glock mags....

 

[sonanth]

I have a CX4 in .45. Love it. Only downside, as with the HiPoint, is mag capacity, and lack of larger capacity.
