We experienced good accuracy (for the shorter distances we were limited to this day on the range). We had good reliability with the exception of two stoppages. The stoppages occured when we were shooting 115 grain Blazer Aluminum ammo with a suppressor. We tried other factory and reloaded ammunition. This included 115 gr, 124, gr and 147 gr factory and the carbine worked without issue. Our shooting / breakin session consisted of various drills. Approximately 300+ rounds were fired. We fired standard capacity and restricted capacity magazines with out issue.
The ergonomics are excellent. However, the angle of the magazine well is different that other designs. Not bad just different. The felt recoil as minimal which is to be expected in a 9mm carbine.
We loved the ability to use the same ammo and magazines in a pistol and a carbine. Overall this carbine could be a great personal protection tool, PPC competition carbine or a plinker that the whole family can enjoy.
If you're looking for a PCC that is compatible with M&P and Glock 9mm magazines, the Response Carbine is a good option and one we'd recommend.
The Response Carbine, The Ruger PCC and the Foxtrot Mike 16" are three of mine. For those of you who enjoy a 9mm carbine that uses pistol mags, what are your favorites?
