9mm Rifle ?

I have a kel-tec sub 2000 in 9mm that shoots glock mags. I have a bunch of 31 round mags.
I was thinking of adding a AR in 9mm. The AR would be made just for 9mm. Are they reliable?
If not what would be another good 9mm rifle. I have a lot of 9mm ammo plus it is cheaper than other pistol calibers.
I already have ARs and AKs. However i do not have a 300 blackout but i have plans for one.

Basically any AR or similar carbine in a pistol caliber. And theyre running optics. These guys are fast!
This is my first year running an open/optics pistol so I havent built one yet but its high on my list!
A PCC can make a hero out of an average shooter!

Not sure the 9mm style of AR takes Glock Mags.
Depends on what you buy...my AR-9 from PSA takes Glock mags, as does the FX-9. I wouldn't buy one if it didn't use Glock mags. It is a total blast too shoot...I LOVE IT!! I'm gonna have to buy alot more 9mm ammo. Mine is obviously a pistol,. but they have carbine and rifle length aswell. I also own a Sub 2K...and this is more fun to shoot. I added a Geissele SD3G trigger and it rips!!
Yesterday I picked up a new Ruger PC carbine in 9mm. It came set up to use Ruger mags but also comes with a changeable mag well to use Glock mags, a good selling point.
I have a Kel-tec sub 2000 9mm that is back at the factory getting a new barrel. Mine also uses Glock mags. Appearently there were many of these made with barrels that were not properly hardened. I had already fired about 100rds before I learned of the recall. You can go to their website to check if your gun needs a new barrel.

I wish Ruger had come out with those a year earlier! I would have gotten that instead of the Kel-Tec.
The Ruger 9mm carbine is alittle heavier but is very nice and at a good price and it only takes five minutes to install the glock mag adapter.
Blackjack buffer, Wolff springs 16# recoil spring, Bushnell MP Trophy red/green T-dot, barrel mounted high intensity light, 31-33 round (?) Magazines.
One of my favorite rifle/Carbines.
Would like a Marlin Camp .45, but they have gone nuts.
Will feed reliably from Gen 1 or 2 Glock mags but they do not get removed for reloading easily or drop-free. Extremely reliable (no issues ever, other than keeping 'em full) with Gen4 Glock 33rnd 9mm mags.
Almost exclusively using Fed 115gr 9mm brass case ball ammo from Wally or similar stuff PSA was dumping out the door last year.
To your question on reliably (9m AR); yes it is very reliable. The Colt 9mm is a straight blowback gun, unlike the 5.56, so one would think this should somehow reduce the cost, but it actually is at times a few more dollars than the LE6920
I believe it is convertible to another caliber or two as well. Takes aftermarket AR gear as well, trigger groups etc.

The high point carbine in 9mm has been somewhat updated and features a new stock design - these guns are a bit heavy and clunky and not as cutting edge ergonomically or appealing physically...
But they are damn near bullet proof as far as reliability and functionality are concerned.
They eat any ammo without complaint - and are pretty easy to care for and maintain.
Good range day gun especially for kids or women or novice shooters
IMHO a valid alternative worth a second look

The only problem I have found is I haven't figured out anyway to take it apart. I did add the neat little device that holds two extra magazines attached to the stock & now I had to add that $%@*(^@ paddle they require here in the DPRK.
