Anyone have any experience w/ these guns? I've found them the pistols to be reliable and trouble free and was looking into a 9mm carbine and would like opinions on this particular gun or discussion on any model.

wow...never seen one of those before. Looks interesting! Ive been thinking about purchasing a new pistol. I dont have any pistols and thought it would be the next piece to add to my gun cabinet. Currently looking at the Smith & Wesson M&P .40. Man is it sweet! Had to check one out in person Sunday when i went to Gander Mountain. I think i may have drooled a little... j/k

 

who makes the gun in the picture?

well as a lawenforcement officer i can say that i have seen them many times being carried by "Hood Rats",...most of the ones i have come across are the polymer models. Our gun nut at work said that they are basically cheap glock knockoffs. I cant say anything about the carbine though dont know...

I really don't understand the reasoning behind a 9mm carbine. It's a marginal pistol cartridge IMO (I have one, a Browning Hi Power), and I can't see how it can really be effective in a carbine. Our security force at work (Nuclear Power Plant) hated them, although a different brand. They told me they hated the round. A .223 (5.56mm) is a much better all around weapon. My opinion only of course, and "I want one" is the best reason I've ever heard for purchasing any gun. Buy what you want and enjoy.

Why people put their lives on cheap firearms is beyond me.  

 

Get a Glock, Sprinfield, Sig or Hk for defense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand what you're saying, but mine has always perfomed flawlessly. It could be more accurate but it has so far been an excellent weapon. I have only had it since last summer but I shoot about 200 rnds a month through it with no problems. I could get 4 9mm's for the price of a basic 1911. Plus an unconditional lifetime warranty no-questions-asked? Sell me another!

I'd say you got a decent one then.

 

One of the most fugly handguns that I've ever seen though.

 

I've fired several of them, each time there was feeding problems which could be related to a magazine issue.

 

 

Bottom line for a cheap junk truck/car/boat gun you can't go wrong if it's reliable! :)

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      No, not yet. Hoping I'll have something a little more definitive in the next day or 2. They seemed to be very confident they can order it. I do have some understanding of the whole allocations and restraints stuff so we'll see.   I think this is what I'm looking for.   3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL

      Then you haven't read your book. It also says check every 400 miles.   If you need to add multiple quarts in that distance then reading the stick isn't the issue. Put the two together and it will make sense. Read it all.

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.
