#PistolCaliberCarbines

While we’re all still over here waiting with baited breath for the release of the modernized working man’s gun (the YC-9), Hi-Point continues to tease us with surprising releases like the new 10mm JXP 10, and now their new Model 3095 30 Super Carry Carbine, the industry’s first pistol-caliber carbine chambered in this cartridge.

Welcome everyone to the 166th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Bear Creek Arsenal recently teased a new 9mm pistol caliber carbine they will soon be offering from their online store – the 9mm Bufferless Carbine. This new carbine will feature a new bufferless design with the ability to be fired and operated from the folded position and will make use of 9mm factory Glock magazines.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves has returned from SHOT Show 2022 with good news: There are a lot of neat, awesome pistol caliber carbines on the way. The bad news? Well, only one of them is going to cost less than $2,000. Yeah, these PCCs/SMGs are pricey but you get what you pay for…or do you? Check today’s video about the top five pistol caliber carbines from SHOT Show 2022 and let us know what you think.

“Now I Have A Machine Gun Ho-Ho-Ho”. Yes, it’s a Christmas movie and no I still can’t afford an H&K SP5 (or a genuine MP5 for that matter). That being said, I can’t even really find any of them for sale these days despite it being more than a year since they were released into the US market. However, if you’re looking for a pistol caliber carbine that isn’t an H&K SP5 this holiday season, then I’ve gathered up some of the most popular (and some not so popular) pistol caliber carbines that are in stock and ready to ship just in time for you to make a new years resolution to not spend so much money on guns in 2022. Better get ’em before you commit!

A new flavor of Hi-Point carbine is coming to the market just in time for the 4th of July with the new 995FLG (9mm) and 4595FLG (.45ACP) carbines featuring a hydro dipped Grand Union Flag. The new carbines will be made available through Sportsmans Outdoor SuperStore and Classic Firearms and can also be purchased by dealers as long as these limited-edition carbines last.

The popularity of pistol caliber carbines hasn’t slowed down at all. More and more manufacturers have been adding ready-to-go competition PCC’s to their lineups. MasterPiece Arms (MPA) is the latest. While they are best known to me for their bolt guns, many users of their firearms know them for their breadth of options. The newest of those options is the MPA AR9 PCC.

Armanov is a high tech manufacturing facility in the European Union, based in Trzin in Slovenia.

Everyone knows how completely badass Lone Wolf is when it comes to ordering after-market parts and accessories for Glock.

By now you are probably wondering if I get a secret monthly check from Switzerland to promote B&T products. So let me take a moment to set the record straight: I can not confirm or deny any foreign payroll income related to sexy Swiss firearms. But if your reading this, B&T mothership, call me. My last envelope must have been lost in the mail. As for the latest news, the B&T GHM9 redesign is official on the company’s website, and it is attractive in both form and price point.

For one reason or another, the pistol caliber carbine (PCC) and subgun product development market has seen a resurgence in the last few years. Just when everyone thought that 5.56mm short barreled rifles did everything a 9mm carbine could do – and better – consumers have built and bought massive amount of PCC’s. FIGHTLITE, a company known for beltfed capable upper receiver groups for the AR platform, has just announced the MXR – a submachine gun or PCC pistol capable of tool-less caliber changes.

Pistol caliber carbines certainly are a divisive category of firearms. On one side of the fence you have their proponents who cherish them for a myriad of different (and valid) reasons, and on the opposing side you have the bunch who question their very existence. In this video we talk a little bit about why owning a PCC might be a good idea for many people.
