J R Carbine 9mm

[JD3]

is it just me or does the manuel look sort of like a ruger booklet?

it does I agree

oh good, im not just seeing things

 

[dudley2112]

any more news on these?

 

[unstableryan]

Why is it that when I decide I have just about enough guns and I should appreciate the wide spectrum of firearms I have now, I stumble across another one that I really really want
I shoot IPSC with a Glock 22 and have 6 mags so this carbine would be awesome

and it might become my new grouse gun for a while just because I can.

Looks to be ambidextrous. Great for left handed shooters. And those of us that shoot left handed :b

Something like that is being made in Canada.

Tell us more about it. That sounds interesting.

 

[Deckard]

I really shouldn't at this time.

Nobody likes a ####ing tease! C'mon... spill the beans!

I really shouldn't at this time.

Even a CAD drawing would suffice...

I really shouldn't have opened up that box.

Nope.

That'll learn ya'!

Would it not look a little goofy with a 19" barrel? Don't get me wrong, it would be great if it comes in non-restricted but I'm not sure of the looks of it with such a long barrel.
Just my opinion and thought

[winnipegger]

well yes it'll look a little goofy i suppose but the 16" version thats most common in the usa doesnt look too bad.... what's another 2.5"?

 

[eg23]

We all wish we had an extra 2.5"! In this case I just would like to see what it looks like.

Sorry fir the extra post but what would be the velocity lost in a 18.5" or 19" barrel with the 9mm? I once read that the optimum barrel length for a 9mm carbine was 11" and you may(this I don't know for sure) actually lose velocity with even a 16" barrel with standard velocity 9mm. So would you not have to buy or reload your 9mm to +P pressure to gain and not lose velocity and energy?

It's not what you gain or loose, it's the difference between a $1000.00 restricted rifle you can only use at an approved range or a non-restricted rifle you can take anywhere to plink with.

Zuke,
I understand that and appreciate that point but I am just curious. Don't get me wrong the concept of taking a 9mm carbine out anywhere and plink is very appealing but I'm just curious about the ballistics that's all. With the price and availability of +P ammo it may make reloading that much more appealing.
