      Despite all the negative press, I bought one of these carbines (polymer model). Mounted a red dot sight in place of the rear peep. Feeds Remington 115 gr. FMC very reliably, and is satisfactorily accurate - about 1.5" @ 25 metres. Completely satisfied with its performance.

    I bought one of these and was on the fence about it cuz of the reviews but I love shooting it and mine never gives me many issues. Jamming is minimal from what I've seen. The ammo is cheap and people love shooting it. Just a fun toy for playing or pistol range.

    I have purchased several firearms that I saw on You Tube having FTF and FTE problems. When I have a new acquisition I immediately take it down and thoroughly clean and then lube. Just might be my luck but all of those with problems functioned flawlessly. One of those was the GSG 1911 in 22LR. Cleaned and lubed and then ran 900 rounds without any problems.

    • @px4sd477

      Generally cheap firearms need a little tlc that that factory didn’t give them. After that they work. If you don’t know how to work on firearms or how to figure why the failures happen then uou need to buy more expensive firearms that have had someone else make sure they are in tip top shape.

  • @thereindeertherabbitthebat592

    Yeah... I see what you meant. Bummer. Unless I were to come across this one for an absolute steal, I think I might avoid it.
    For the cost, I think a Ruger PC carbine would be better bang for my buck. I like their "sporterized" AR style models with the handguard & adjustable stock, but I think I like the traditional style stock much much more, even if it's polymer. Something about a 9mm rifle with a traditional style stock, just seems like a lot of fun. Like a jacked up 22 or something.
    Great video, thanks for sharing it.

  • @bryanmise5105
    @bryanmise5105 Před 3 lety +5

    Because it’s a blowback design. Not gas operated.
    To help tame recoil and function “most” of the time
    The designer had to increase the mass of the bolt. So that’s the main reason why it had to look a little chunky. Plus keep cost down. Of course. So in my opinion knowing what they had to deal with I can live with the oversized bolt and charging Handel.
    Thank for your video. Cool to see people using the rifle.

  • @smilingdonkey1

    If you shim the bigger mags with a match book cover it'll hold and feed. You've gotta watch the peep sight as it likes to come off. Oh yea, the barrel shroud comes off about every 4-500 rounds and the screw holding it together comes out. Other than these minor things, it's a pretty good gun...

    • @123andme

Assembled all and tested with Wheeler Spring Scale. Measured 3.5 pounds. OE magazine was 4.1 pounds. Took modified magazine to the range. Fired 15 rounds of Sig Sauer 9mm Elite FMJ through it .

    Been thinking about buying one of these myself. The reason I've been putting it off for a while is because I've heard good stories about them and I've heard bad stories about them as well. From what I've seen in a lot of other videos on CZcams this carbine certainly has a few flaws such as the trigger pull, big charging handle and also the absence of a slide lock etc. Other than that you have a good video here on this carbine. Some claim to have a lot of problems with theirs and some claim to have little problems when firing this gun. I guess one should count theirself lucky if they have a Chiappa M1-9 that gives them little or no issues, but I may still purchase one someday.

    You keep tcomplaining about the "clunky" bolt carrier and charging handle. This is what it is, BECAUSE it is a blowback operated firearm and as such requires mass in the bolt to cancel the recoil energy... the alternative is a MUCH heavier recoil spring. I am planning to buy one of these, next month. Thanks for an otherwise excellent review!

    It's not reliable. It doesn't use the same action. It uses a lot of plastic. It's accuracy isn't great. It can rattle itself apart enough to cause accuracy issues.
    This is not a good rifle.
    P.S. It's also going to be over $800 after taxes and fees. So in addition to the above it's really expensive for it is.
    That's going to be a hard pass for me.

    Lose the Bass player. The band is in 4 and the Bass is trying to do something that sounds like, well, something else. Good review otherwise.

    This is Chiappa's lame attempt to compete against the new Ruger PCC-9

      Kanda' Eirsie actually this rifle has been out for a while now, way before the new PC Carbine was even announced

      Not even close dude. This is a 9mm version of a classic historic gun. The PCC-9 isn't even in the same category.

    Unreliable. Enough said. Spend more and get a real fun. Real guns don't jam this much

    Most reviewers on this weapon get real pissy about the plastic parts which have nothing to do with the function....the trigger "experts" claim it is kinda hard and rough.... for 500 bucks you still get a nice carbine which requires break in... toughen up buttercup...!!

    • @iloveshootingshit
      @iloveshootingshit Před rokem

      Still never reliable. When replicating am all metal gun it's disappointing to find cheap plastic parts
