9mm Carbine accuracy comparison

Between Ruger, Kel Tec, Cobray (and clones), Hi Point, and a bunch of others, which 9mm carbine is the most accurate?

Remember the point of a carbine......combat accuracy.

Thumbs up

I've shot the Hi-point, KelTec and Cobray types, but haven't yet shot the Ruger. I'd probably expect the Ruger to be the best (and by far the most expensive!) but the Hi-point is definitely a close second. The KelTec is nearly as accurate as the Hi-point, but the ergonomics don't work for me. The Cobray has the ergonomic problem, and isn't very accurate. Bad trigger slap too.

I got the Cobray and Hi-Point....the cobray is the pistol version....sights are ruff...and ergonomics suck....but looks cool. Probly Hi-Point and ruger about the same.

I've shot the Ruger and do enjoy it. It's probably the best setup for scope mounting. Hi-caps are a major plus too.

I shot thr Ruger and Cobry carbines,both pretty accurite,Ruger more reliable.I like the hi-cap mags in both,but the Cobry was a pistol with a rifle top fitted with H&K p-5 sights,12 yards,one hole,not bad.Both pretty quiet unless shot with hot 9mm.

The Ruger runs off the P series magazines as well which is a plus IMHO since I like the line of pistols. The 9mm 30 rounders are pretty easy to come by as well.
