Choices in 9mm carbines?

[space_weazel]

Thanks to those who helped out in my last thread. I'm posting this in the HK and AR forum because it deals with both; Mods please let me know if that needs to be fixed.

I have been looking at getting a 9mm carbine, the one's that catch my eyes are as follows.....

Bobcat weapons BW-5

I read a few articles about this company and it seems the guy in charge, who is an actual engineer, has his head on straight and I like the idea of the lifetime warranty.

They also seem to have an alright product, offering a few extras at a lower price is nice to, like the stock options, and a weaver rail already mounted.

Bushmaster Carbon 15 pistol

the bushy obviously probably the best quality, however I have had some people tell me that the bushy 9mm have had feeding problems relating to the short barrel.

So that’s what I’m looking at I plan to SBR these at some later date and the bobcat is made to be SBR'ed aftermarket which I like. I have loved the mp5 [HK94] for many years and so both the clones are my first choice.

But I also hate buying things that don’t work like the mini 14 I bought before I realized what a bad idea that was. So I’m curious if any of you have some insight or experience that you might impart to me, to help with the decision.

Thank You
Jon

I to was looking at the Bw SP 89 and the bushmaster carbon 21 9mm pistol both to be SBR and suppressor added. I bought the bushmaster to try first since it was $500 cheaper and seemed like a smaller risk with bushmaster backing it up. The 9mm bushmaster is a shooting machine and is well built. It never jams, It is easy to hit coffee cans at 75 yards and I killed a 150lb wild hog with mine and 147gr SXT ammo blew out both sides and dropped him in 30 yards. I love the gun its cool looking! The only thing that surprised me is it is about normall weight of a standred Ar15 9mm pistol. I expected to to be as light as the carbon rifles. The Sp89 and the carbon bushmaster are both about 4.7 lbs so thats pretty equall when compareing the two.The bad thing is I still think about the SP89 and wonder how good/bad it would have been?

Dont forget one of the originals - UZI. Built to last a lifetime, cheap mags, decent accuracy, easy to SBR, and a high cool factor.
