Just Right Carbines..any good?

I had one consider it junk the bolt handle is a little tiny bolt with a sleeve and you need a tool kit to clean it never made it through a mag with out a ftf well maybe a couple times but if you can't trust your fire arm it is no good and I will not own one again, it should be priced around 500 not a 1000.

I have one in .45 running on 1911 mags. No FTE or FTF, goes bang all time holds 3" at 100. The only thing i dislike is that it chewes most of the casings up pretty bad...i'm reloading (not those anymore). So if you don't reload,nothing wrong with the JR

I have the early 45, JR sent new parts for free to get it going, it did chew casings, now after a hour with a dremel smoothing the ramp and barrel edges it leaves the casings good enough to reload
 
I love my JRC .45, but it took a LOT of work and support from JRC o finally get it running right.

I'm a lefty, and I find the magazine release a bit awkward to work. Even as a righty, don't know how fast mag changes with the Glock mags might be?

Did a course with three gun and really liked it.Have a CZ pistol but had to borrow a shotgun and an AR to do the course.Great bunch of people had no problem lending me a firearm.So far bought a Remington 870 Tactical for a shotgun but would like to get a pistol caliber carbine in 9mm to simplify ammo requirements for rifle and pistol.Not too much out there.Been doing a bit of research and what does everybody think of JRC?I realize they had a few reliability problems in the first generation but I hear they got most bugs out of the gun now.

Buy a Beretta Storm. 50% higher cost, 300% better firearm.
 
My 9mm JR has run fine, in fact I'm using it in our MDPL side match later today.
Major take down requires an AR wrench and a hex key...hardly a "tool kit".
Basic cleaning can be done with just the wrench or by leaving the rifle intact and spraying & scrubbing.
Sure, the bolt hold open would be nice, but it's hardly that big of an issue.
If it was, then military and tac teams would never have given the Hk MP5 a second look...it's all about the training.

For a "fun-gun" or CQB (sub 100 meters) kinda stuff it does fine, but I admittedly wouldn't use it for 100+ carbine matches.

The added bonus is that being NR, I can go out to a pit / bush and set up my own CoF to practice and don't have to contend with ranges or the fuds there..
