High-cap carbines?

[Alan Fud]

Who makes reliable hi-cap carbines in .45ACP? 10mm? .40S&W? 9mm? that come with factory hi-cap magazines?

I sort of like the Ruger PC4GR carbine but with the ban over, I would prefer more rounds on tap than just ten and my first choices would be (1) .45ACP; (2) 10mm; (3) .40S&W; (4) 9mm.

This may not be much help, but I've thought about building a dedicated Para frame for a Mech-Tech CCU upper and adding Grams basepads to some of my magazines for it (or building one on an STI frame with 170mm mags). You'll have to put it together yourself if go that route though, and then there's the issue of the mags being more expensive.

Other than that the only high-cap .45 carbine I can think of is the Thompson.

Just as there are Glock magazines in the 30-round range, there are mags for Ruger PC9 and PC40 with similar capacity. Kindof makes them not "PC". They stick out some.

Olympic Arms has made AR15 uppers in pistol calibers. They modified subgun mags and sold them in then-legal 10-round capacity. According to the catalog, they do have 32-round mags modified for 9mm; the rest are still 10 rounds.

Oops - edited to add that the new Oly Arms catalog also has "Glock" carbines: look like an AR but takes Glock mags in 9mm or 40. No idea of how well they work. Kindof pricey, SRP $924, so the PC9 or PC40 look good from that standpoint.

Most of the ones I've seen were USA magazines that rarely worked in my P95.

I've got a Marlin Camp 9 that works well with 15 rd. S&W (and some 20 aftermarket) mags.. They made them in .45 also.
