Chiappa M1 9
Just curious if anyone has one or has used one, LGS has one for 450 used, is it worth it? Or should I save up and get a Ruger PC 9?

It's a shame the Chiappa is junk area pawn shop has a .22lr M1 carbine. Looked at it released the magazine couldn't get it to lock back in the well.

Not sure about Canada prices, but down here a used keltec sub2k is about 350 and its twice the gun the chiappa M1 9 is.

I just hate the keltec look lol

Lol fair. Then unless you like Hi-Points (which actually aren't bad in an ATI stock, just heavy) then the ruger is probably your best bet.

According to the reviews I've read/watched they're unreliable junk. Ruger pc carbine, freedom ordinance fx-9, crusader 9, just right carbine, kriss vector, even the keltec sub2000 is better.

Thanks! Same shop has a Ruger so I'll prolly grab that it's just 3x the price

I used the PC 9, and would suggest that over the Chiappa M1-9

I have a M1-9. Hardly ever use it. It tends to malfunction constantly with anything but high quality ammo. It’s also relatively difficult to disassemble for cleaning. And it just feels cheap. And the barrel is too long for 9mm. And the rear sight rattles around a lot. 2/10 would not recommend.

Thanks!

I have one, my buddy has the Ruger. I like my little M1 copy, but the Ruger is flat out a better gun.

Almost anything chiappa should be avoided like the plague. Either get the ruger or some of the other great 9mm carbines out there or save up for a real M1 carbine
I would love a real M1 but I'm up in Canada, so they are restricted. Thanks for the advice, any carbines that come to mind other than the ruger?
