Well for what it's worth out of a 4" barrel using 4.2gr titegroup I get 1115fps out of my Austrian hand piece on the range.
Surely one could do ++P loads.
I've used the 9mm inserts in a 20Ga single shot and they work emphatically on possums at 70y..
A ++P load out of a carbine length would make deer shudder at sub 100y surely.
Push a 90gr XTP at +1600 fps and you're entering some very interesting territory indeed
The other thing to consider which is a big one to consider.
Is to ream the chamber to 38 Super.
Albeit less the brass availability and cost of 9mm.
A 38 super carbine would be plain cool and it would have plenty of snot for hunting
oh maaaan ,back to wiki for specs I shall have to go.
I know the 38 special..a lesser .357 magnum but never heard of the 38 super....357 maximum is another in there a longer case.
75/15/10 black powder matters
Think of 38 super like the difference between 38 special and 357 mag Micky Duck.
On any given day a 38 super will give around 200+ fps on a standard 9mm using the same projectile.
38 super is the go to round for IPSC open shooters.
So reaming out a barrel from 9mm to 38 super would be no different to reaming a 7mm08 to 284win or a 308 to a 30 06
or a 38 special to 357 mag...or a 38special or a 357 mag to the 357 maximum
or the 45/70 to 45/90 or 45/110 LOL.... case head is the same the case body is longer.
75/15/10 black powder matters
had a look on wiki..... yeah the 357 maximum still looks the pick of the bunch for hunting application.... just as well Im happy with the wee trebly,could be come a very expensive rifle if you bought one to rechamber.

On the one hand, I would love a 9mm carbine of any sort as that's a already in my calibre footprint, but at the same time, what will it do that a Bergara single shot in .357 magnum won't? There are even takedown lever-actions in .357, which you have the option of loading with .38 subs. What I would like to see is a 9mm lever action that takes detachable mags, I feel like I've seem them available in the States but both the price and quality made them less appealing.
def want one anyone know the price
Konus binoculars " The power to imagine"
Any idea when these may be expected in NZ and what stores will have them?
