I liked it when I held it. It breaks down, uses glock magazines and it's a ruger. But its just not a sexy gun. Lol. Still I like that you said it'll eat anything and is reliable.

Best 9mm carbine?

I've got both the Sub-2000 and a micro Scorpion. Both run anything I load them up with and have been 100% reliable. The Scorpion wins on looks.
We should probably never use "sexy" and "Ruger" in the same thought.....Lol...... but I stand by my reliability assessment of the Ruger PCC.
I will take my Hi point 9 mm carbine any day of the week..
when (not saying IF, I don't want to curse it) Magpul comes out with their backpacker stock for the PCC it will likely be my do-all 9mm rifle. My 22 version fits in a cubby in my truck, and the 9mm version will as well.
I'm waiting on that backpacker stock too!
I've shot a Marlin Camp Carbine and liked it a lot.
I've used a select-fire M4 type AR weapon in 9mm, and liked it a lot. It had more recoil than the .223 versions, probably due to the bullet being more than twice as heavy.
A good friend has a middle-1990's generation of the HiPoint 9mm carbine, and while it was reliable and accurate, it just felt CRUDE. The action was ROUGH, not smooth. It took a lot of force to retract the bolt to cock it. The trigger was heavy-- but not too heavy if you're used to shooting striker-fired "safe action" pistols with 6 lb. factory triggers.
The Hi-Point only used 10-round single stack magazines, which some people would find too low in capacity.
But in a home defense role, I think 10 shots is enough, especially if magazine swaps are fast and easy.
The Ruger PCC handles and dry-fires well when I fondle them at gun shows and at gun stores, but I've never fired one of those.

Kel-Tec Sub 2000
This is one PCC I have traded or sold away numerous times and end up repurchasing. This last one I picked up at Freedom Mill and will be keeping it. I've never had a malfunction, it's dead nuts accurate at the range I need it to be and it tucks away into a small space.
