Help me choose a pistol caliber carbine
I have now finished my second AR build (as soon as the parts arrive). I now want to get a pistol caliber carbine. A friend has a Beretta Cx4 Storm and I've shot it and LOVE it. It is currently at the top of my list. However, one of the major advantages (other than ammo prices) seems to be the ability to use the same mags in your handgun and carbine. I don't own a Beretta 92 or Px4 and have no plans to buy one (WELL... probably anyway, although the Px4 is tempting). I usually carry either a Glock 17 or an XD-40. I know the Kel-Tec will use Glock mags, but I have handled them and did not care for them at all. Are there other carbines I should consider? I thought about a 9mm AR, but I want to add some variety to my collection and as I said, I already have 2 AR's.
This will mostly be a range toy, but may see some use for home defense. Also, they seem a bit easier to handle than an AR, so it may be in my wife's hands in a SHTF scenario.
It will probably be spring before I can buy one, but I'm thinking of stocking up on some mags now, which is why I want to go ahead and make a final decision on which to buy. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
