Lobotomy Boy said:I have a PC9. It's a great gun, but its effective range is really less than 100 yards. The fall-off is pretty dramatic at 100 yards. If that isn't important, the PC9 is a cheap and fun plinker.
If you plan to hunt with it, the .30 caliber M1 is now legal for deer in Minnesota while a .223 is not. Your laws may vary.
The accuracy sounds about right, but I disagree that they don't take scopes easily. I put an ultimak scout rail on my M1 and it works very well. Installation was simple although some stocks may require a little sanding. I really didn't have much of a problem with mine.The Carbine doesn't take a scope easily, and shoots into 2.5 - 3" at 50 yds with iron sights.
