I like everything about these back-up shooters. They are absolutely perfect for smaller, weaker and very old support arms.

I especially like the Beretta.

6-8 extra 92FS mags loaded with 124gr hollow points and fired through a 16in barrel...should result in about 1300fps.

Hot home loads will give you 1400fps. Especially if you use slow burning pistol magnum powders.

NOBODY want to get hit with a 124gr hollow point traveling 1400fps.

And you 'ol lady or young son can hit a man in the eye with one of these at 50 meters.

They can be do that?

Don’t tell Difi.

I’m no .22 fan for defense but by the numbers .22LR has killed more people, I believe, than any other caliber.

I passed on a chance to buy a Marlin Camp .45. It took 1911 magazines. I think they guy wanted $300 or so. I should have snapped it up.

The M1Carbine should have made this list.

[LegendHasIt]

Only the 44 mag ones (I wish Ruger was still making the .44 magnum semi-clone of the 10-22) can beat mine, and the 10MM ones equal it: Mech-tech 'upper' receiver in .460 Rowland.

That is the least expensive (yet well made and reliable) way to get into a pistol carbine, if you already have a Glock or 1911 'lower' to mate with it.

[JJ_Folderol]

Chiappa M1-9 didn’t make the list. It’s an appearance clone of the M1 carbine but a blowback action. It takes Baretta FS92 magazines from the local milsurp shop.

I’ve fitted a folding paratrooper stock to it and added a reflex sight and it’s about 2moa at 100 yds with cheap Russian ammo.

Here’s a 9mm carbine by Master piece. Takes Glock Mags.

Deadliest?

[Big Red Badger]

and The 5 Are,,,?

[Dusty Road]

I just picked up a Ruger PC9 take-down. Shoots Ruger or Glock mags by using the adapter that comes with it. It’s also threaded with a thread protector already on it for suppressor use.

50 BMG revolver? Why not?

[editor-surveyor]

.
They’re pefect for in-town deployment, where a long range rifle could kill the inocent in greater numbers than the terrorists.

I have a 45acp Highpoint carbine , best buy I ever made

[Osage Orange]

The 7.62 x 25mm round was/is used in the CZ-52 pistol..and was/is used in a Soviet machine gun.

I'd take a guess...there's a rifle out there that shoots that round also.

Another FR gun thread. Another gaggle of calibre snobs.

[trebb]

Might be a bit quicker than 1300 - a 357 mag goes from about 1280 to almost 1800 fps when run through a 16” barrel.

[mad_as_he$$]

“6-8 extra 92FS mags loaded with 124gr hollow points and fired through a 16in barrel...”

Huh?
