In talks about carbines, most of the pistol calibers that come up are 9MM, .357, and the occasional .45ACP. I understand the variety that you can get in .357, and the idea of a lever-action gun is something I'm interested in.
What I am not too sure about is when you start comparing 9MM vs. 45 ACP. I know that they aren't going to be long-range guns, but would the 9MM generally be a further shooter than the .45 ACP? Close range the .45 ACP would be great, but I'd think that the 9MM might be a better option for a carbine.
Am I thinking properly about this one, or am I incorrect?
