HK94 looks very cool. my local shop has several forms of the Uzi, but it seems pretty heavy.

looks like the CX4 is a good choice for California, it has one evil feature, the pistol grip and I believe that means it does NOT need the Calif bullet button. I HATE the button!
I see our Turners store has these for $975, and a few local stores are at $899 in .45 or 9mm
and I guess no one makes a 9mm Tommy gun or it would have been mentioned.

another option might be the taurus ct9. I haven't really heard anything good about them, but it is an option I suppose. http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=889&category=Rifle

When 22LR ammo cost became comparable to my 9mm reloads, I decided to get an AR based carbine. Since I had plenty of Glock magazines, AR carbines based on Glock magazines were looked at and decided on Just Right carbine for following reasons:
- Uses Glock/M&P/1911 magazines with modular magwell swap (and I have plenty of all these magazines)
- 9/357Sig/40/45 Caliber conversion with barrel/bolt/magwell swap
- Ambi bolt/ejection option
- "Take down" tube option for backpack carry
- Uses M4/AR furniture and trigger parts
- California compliant models
- Made in USA
- Uses Glock/M&P/1911 magazines with modular magwell swap (and I have plenty of all these magazines)

I plan to purchase a CZ Scorpion EVO, pay $200 to SBR it, and attach the factory side folding stock. I think it will make a dandy 9mm sub gun.

CZ recently announced that they will offer a stock and 922 compliant parts kit later this summer.

I'm eagerly awaiting the information. It looks like it would be great to SBR if the compliance stuff isn't too steep.

I just picked up one of these in .40S&W on a trade - mine has the 16" barrel though. I'm going to be converting it to .45ACP in the future, but what are your thoughts on the gun? I'm very interested in hearing from folks who own them as I can't find a whole lot to go on.TNW ASR (Aero Survival Rifle)
- Uses Glock Mags
- Very Reliable
- Very Durable (Aluminum and Steel construction)
- Convertible to 40 and 45 (soon to be 22LR and 22 Magnum)
- Quick change barrel
- Easy to mount optics/sights
- Easy to SBR
- Easy to Suppress
- Uses AR furniture
- Sold as a Pistol or Rifle
I sold my Sub 2000 after getting mine...

Keep in mind that OP lives in California and has limited choices for purchases.
I will be using AR Stoner stainless steel magazines sold by MidwayUSA ($18-$19) based on good reviews over steel Promag and lower cost than Metalform magazines.
While I like JR carbine's 9/40/45 barrel/bolt conversions, I am building three PSA 9mm AR carbines on $50 Anderson lowers ($499 and Father's day free shipping so $550 total each carbine) - http://palmettostatearmory.com/inde...-9mm-1-10-melonite-rifle-kit-no-magazine.htmlsocalbeachbum said:

Someone used to sell the Battlestar Galactica flash suppressor: http://mfiap.com/i-7832697-mfi-battle-star-galactica-barrel-shroud-for-beretta-cx4-storm-9mm.html
I liked the feel of the carbine, hated the plastic sights.
I've enjoyed shooting a full auto Uzi in a variety of calibers, it handles differently with the long barrel but that is THE carbine to SBR. (Sure it's heavy and clunky but it's one of those just right type weapons.)
You get a lot more pop from the 30 Carbine than a 9mm in the same sized carbine.

I ordered a Colt AR6951 last week just to use as a trainer, the 9mm won't screw up my steel targets, and as it's the same controls as my LE6920, I'll get the biggest benefit from spending time with it.
As others pointed out I can reload 9mm pretty cheaply and components are actually easier to find then .22LR these days.
