N o but an instructor I know used a 1911 version (as a student) in a carbine class and was mightily impressed with its handling and reliability.

thanks Tony, relialbility was my concern. I would assume that if the 1911's worked well the GLOCKs would too.

Now I need to find out if the G34 will fit one.

Do the G17 & G34 share the same frame dimensions?

I think that's a pretty nifty idea..I'd probably go with an AR-15 carbine in 9mm though.

Good luck with the project!

That thing is harder to look at that those "art films" from your college days.

You can't pluralize yourself. Like "The Lone Rangers", just makes no sense.
