if TSHTF would you grab your Hi Point carbine or PC9?

[Cyberdyne systems]

my first choice would be the PC9, it's more reliable, takes hi capacity mags, better quality & durability! it may cost more but when your life's at stake leave nothing to chance...

plus the PC9 can use +P or +P+ ammo ! rugers have a reputation for durability, they are built like a tank.

 

[P95Carry]

NO contest ..... PC9, all the way.!

 

[Redlg155]

The PC9 of course...it's "Politically Correct"!

Good Shooting

I'd use my Beretta CX4 9mm. I have hicaps for it.

 

[Route 66]

I'd grab my Hi-Point for sure (I don't own a PC 9) but that's because it has proven itself over and over - totally reliable with whatever I run through it and accurate at 40 yards as any gun I've ever owned.

 

[Spot77]

I'm not an expert on either, but having shot both of them for the first time on Sunday.......I'd have to go PC9. I have a Ruger P95 so it just makes sense since I can use the same mags (well...that's what I was told anyway).


The High Point was remarkably accurate though.....right on par with the PC9.
SHTF?
How about I keep the PC9 and sell the High Point to some blithering anti who's crying that he needs a gun? I think $675 would be a fair price, don't you?

PC9 fo sheezy

(in modern parlance)
My pc9 hasn't missed a bit since i got four new factory mags and four hicap factory prebans. Heck of a lot of money. But knowing the grifle will feed factory perfect every time is a comforting thought. Zero hasn't strayed at all since i took my red dot scope off. I am a HUGE fan of the PC9 and would only add one thing to it, some nice dot sights for quicker/night shooting.

 

[GigaBuist]

I feel dumb... but what's a PC9? I presume it's the Hi-Point 9mm pistol but I'm clueless.

 

[Min]

I'd go with the PC9 for the hicaps.

 

[azrael]

neither one...I would reach for a Kel-tec s2k in 9mm...Hi caps are easy to find and it shoots better than I do..

AND IT FOLDS IN HALF!!!!!

 

[P95Carry]

I feel dumb... but what's a PC9?

Giga .. Ruger's PC9 (oops - see below) Camp Carbine in 9mm. Great little shooter ..... makes the very best of the humble 9mm Parabellum. I find mine with a red dot is a real tack driver.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Opps, as Min pointed out ... this is MARLIN Camp carbine .. not PC9 ... excuse old and faded brain cells!!

 

[Min]

Ruger makes the PC9.

Marlin makes the Camp Carbine.

The pic posted above is the Marlin Camp 9.

 

[P95Carry]

Well spotted Min .... oops ... total brain fart!! Funny ... get one thing lodged in brain (cell) and keep on makin same mistake over and over!! Maybe I do have too many guns! A look at barrel of course would be a good reminder.

Spot .... note this ole phart's total inability to properly name what he is using ...... I must get back on the med's. Sorry if confusion caused .. I'll go edit my last post. But you liked it anyways, yeah?

<creeps off into corner, head hangin .. red face ... shame at ineptitude>

 

[Min]

Nice pic of the Marlin, though. With that red dot it looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Razor]

Although my Hi-Point has proven to be quite reliable and just as accurate as my Ruger, I would definitely grab the Ruger PC9 . Mainly because of the numerous 15-,20-, and 30-rd mags I have for it. It would also make a much more effective club, if it got to that.

 

[azrael]

P95,
No worries...that marlin is a sweet rifle...one of my shooting buddies has a camp .45 with a red dot on it and it's a blast at the range.

 

["yote"]

FN FAL Carbine!

 

[Redlg155]

FN FAL Carbine!

I can't quite decide what I'd rather touch off with unprotected ears in a small room...flash bang or Carbine FAL. Both are pretty nasty! I'd rather shoot my little 9mm AR indoors all day long than pop a couple of rounds off in my DSA FAL Carbine.



Good Shooting

[sturmruger]

I must admit that since I own a P89 and have many mags for it I would definetly go with the PC9.

 

[chapperjoe]

hi caps

I dunno if I'd reach for the PC9 due to the high caps.
I got some thirty runders with the gun and have had many problems with them.. I heard others with same complaints too.
The 15 roudners from sportsmans guide are 10 bucks... I grabbed four of those.
I also picked up a couple of factory ruger 10's from the same palce for 16. It's hard to beat those prices.

BUT, the sportsman's guide has a rock solid guarentee regarding customer satisfaction. So next I am going to purchase seom of THEIR twenty and thirty roudners and see how they do.

 

[10mmshooter]

I would skip the above mentioned options, and outfit my family with AK's, shotguns, and pistols. I see no practical use for a pistol caliber carbine.


No flame intended....But my collection contains neither of the guns mentioned in this thread. It does, however...contain a few AK's, shotguns, and pistols.

 

[chapperjoe]

AK's for Home D?

You realy want that 30 cal bullet flying around your home???? Hope you got thick walls. Get your family body armor too.

I'd rather have 9mm Hydrashocks......

 

[Pheonix]

Mayby somebody could point out where but I have read several articles that the .223 penetrates walls less than the 9mm. Of course I read it on the internet.

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

For this discussion---the PC9 is clearly the better weapon.


BUT--that's a big BUT---if S is actually HTF-----I won't be using no little popgun----and at minimum an AR or AK will be pressed into service.

Now for civilian home defence in normal times---the PC9 would be good choice-----but not for SHTF times.

hi caps in the PC9

I only use factory magazines or MEC-GAR 15 & 20 rd mags, they are very reliable, Do Not use any cheap aftermarket mags in the PC9 like USA, Western, etc, only use factory Ruger or MEC-GAR for the best reliability
