Carbine (handgun) caliber
If you had the choice of a carbine that fires typical handgun rounds (9, .40, .45) which one would you choose and why. Have fired the hK UMP in .45 but know nothing of the ballistics out of that weapon. 9mm is cheaper than other two calibers but interms of ballistic profile, which is a better choice.
Backround: having a carbine (16" barrel) that uses same ammo as sidearm seems like a reasonable idea.....analogy to back up gun same caliber as primary sidearm, etc. Good for camping and car long gun??
Opinions.......??
