Where can get HK94 and opinion versus other 9mm carbine?

[cyberhick]

Where do you live? I live in MI so there are certain rules to work around.

You might try an AR pistol in 9mm. Get a lower that takes UZI or Sten mags then a quality upper, PSA or RRA or Colt or Noveske or etc, and take the barrel down under 10" and put tje shortest buffer tube you can stand to shoot. Cane tips on the end of pistol buffers are ATF approved. Plus, if you get a lower that just uses a drop in block to accomodate the 9mm mags, you could get other uppers (5.56, .300 blk).

http://www.mechtechsys.com/ uses glock lowers

For what you pay though, you could be another gun entirely. I've contacted them before, and their shipping was ridiculous.

so please explain why my sentence was complete rubbish when you confirmed 90% of it?
just because YOU have ONE specimen out of 100,000s that actually works the way it was intended does not mean that all of them, or even most of them do.
I've had issues with glocks, kahrs, berettas, colts, rock island armories and HKs, I make sure after I have a bad experience that I read into the matter. it turns out that my experience with the KT is not all that uncommon.

I don't agree with you as far as reliability either. The KT doesn't favor anything but high power stuff, but I've not experienced one as you've described.

I do, however, agree that there are better carbines out there, none of which are very large and would fill the truck gun role with ease without needing to be folded. As I stated before, and I'll do so no further, the ability to fold a rifle in such a way that it impedes the use of an optic is ludicrous. This is doubly so when the less than stellar sights of the KT are taken into account. For me, having ever ought one was purely for the magazine compatibility with my pistol. I never, ever, found myself thinking a folding carbine was a bright selling point, nor did I EVER use it. If I need to conceal a weapon, I own pistols. If I need added range or accuracy, I'll grab the carbine out from behind the seat, not from out of a duffle bag where it takes longer to fetch, then unfold it, then slap a mag in it. Pure silliness.

I would just stick to that Berreta, or consider the JR. I've shot both, and they're awesome.

I've had great results with my Bobcat. For me the MP5 format is the Cadillac of pistol caliber carbines and SMGs. I wouldn't trade it for any other 9mm shoulder fired gun. It has also kept me from wanting any other shoulder fired 9mm.

With HK clones there are a couple of things to look out for. Most can be fixed with a $50 German extractor and a $10 extractor spring. Some people hate the idea of actually fixing things themselves, and for them, any MP5 offering, whether real German or a Clone, it not going to be for them.
I made a video a while back to help people who are considering plunking down the cash to get into an MP5 clone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkSoZcw0UQ

The gun, especially in SBR form, handles great. The sights work really well for me and I have no problem hitting a torso sized steel plate at 100 yards from the standing position. A semi-auto converted German trigger group with a match grade sear spring (or trigger job from the likes of Bill Springfield) yields an excellent trigger. Ergos of the safety lever aren't that great, but if you know how to disengage it from the carry position (muzzle down with your forearm resting inside the stock) it becomes quite intuitive.

They are expensive, and the majority of folks on THR will hate it for that alone, but if you really want to own/shoot an MP5, it's worth doing the research before plunging in.

ever seen those mac-10s with AR15 stock adapter, forearm, and a 30 round sten mag?... now that would be a fun carbine to play with... buit i like the hi point carbines over the Cx4, and the HK94 isnt a carbine, but a semi auto version of the MP5 submachine gun, so its going to look goofy with a 16 inch barrel
