And put one on Layaway at my LGS.

Too much going on to deal with it right now. Buy, it'll be there when time allows.

Basically a 9mm version of the 10/22 best I can tell. However, there are some very, very good 9mm ammo choices out there these days.

Got to test a Marlin Camp 9 for a weekend once and velocity was 200+ fps more in the Carbine. Most of the reviews of the new Ruger puts groups in the 1" at 50 yards with a scope mounted.

Kicker for me was 9mm ammo can be purchased for less than the cost of 22 Magnum.

I have a couple Tasco Bantam 2.5x scopes hoarded back that'll be just about right for this gun.

Add a TAC Light and critters at night will be in real trouble.

Good for you Huey! I’d consider on but...

... I have a beretta storm carbine and a keltec s2k gen 2, both in 9mm. But then again .... having multiple guns in a caliber has never stopped me before!

They should sell real well.

I have loaded some with special ammo including 158 gr. This makes it a bit more usable for me. The 9mm case gets thick very fast internally and can not hold very much of a straight sided bullet. That's why you see "boattail" 147 gr. bullet designs, so it fits. I wanted to experiment with a .357 bullet but omit the gas check. In effect a stepped bullet so it might be seated deep enough to feed from a semi-auto. Yes with 9mm available for $10/50 it's hard to argue. I'd not really be excited about shooting a small deer with one though I know it would do.

It may be odd but I'd prefer a .40 cal., more punch, bunch more punch.

I have played with the UZI carbine in 9mm, Marlin Camp 9, and a Volunteer Arms .45 ACP loose Thompson semi-clone. The .45 is more formidable than you'd think. Sort of like a 20-shot M92 Winchester. It was accurate with the iron sights and totally reliable.

But yanking on my wallet, I'm with Huey, hard to argue that .36 cal. for the utility. Would hammer coyotes up close, and be a fun plinker, and great for novices. I'm also game for a bolt action or pump version. History could repeat itself with different cartridges.

Good to hear, I’m really wanting one
