Are Pistol Caliber Carbines Useless?

[Misery Loves Shotguns]

I have a Stribog SP9A1 with around 4600 rounds through it with 0 malfunctions and it's a ton of fun to shoot. Initially, I bought it as a range toy but it's so reliable and I'm so accurate with it that I would probably choose it over a proper AR. I'm building a 9mm AR now too that uses colt mags so I can make it completely ambidextrous like my Stribog. The Stribog, Benelli M1014, and Beretta M9A1 have been pretty much all I've shot this year. So, yeah, I love the PCC. More fun = more training time = more skill.

Useless? Not at all! I've S&W 627 that is paired with a Winchester 1892. .357 Magnum is more than suitable for the deer and other game here in NEPA. Besides in the woods here you can't see much past100 yards anyhow.

I'm building my neighbor a ar in .556 with a 5" barrel. I think its usless (waste of ammo) but what do I know.

Let me shoot you with mine and you can tell me how useless it is.

7.5 is probably the lowest i would go with on a 5.56, but that's just me personally.

The stubby, little RIFLE caliber PISTOL thread is down the hall on the left.

All are better choices than these - unless you're going to the grocery store.

Is the camp 9 still available ?

LOL... Thats what he wants, I wanted to get a 7.5" barrel but went with his wishes.
He knows more about combat and what works than I do.

No new manufacture since 1999. Still out there on the used market though prices are ridiculous.
