9mm hollow points in a rifle

???

In a 9mm parabellum "carbine"/"SMG" Longarm?

absolutely. they may or may not chamber reliably, but thats the case with different pistols as well.

I'm a little confused by the question. If you asking if you can shoot hollowpoints, versus full metal jacket, out of a firearm chambered in 9mm that happens to be a longarm, then yes absolutely.

If youre asking if you can shoot 9mm rounds in a certain rifle chambered in a cartridge that has a close to .357 barrel (a quick look on wikipedia shows a bunch) Im not aware, but i would heavily caution against it. At least until someone more knowledgeable than myself comments.
 
Looking at your previous posts i see youre in reference to a hi point carbine. Theres no reason why you cant shoot any type of 9mm parabellum hollowpoints out of that firearm. some brands may work better than others, but theres no danger to the weapon.

Please dont take this the wrong way, but it sounds like you have a lack of experience with firearms, and i would strongly suggest you take some form of class or training, Or at the very least have a gun buddy or gun store employee give you some instruction.
 
thanks SHNOMIDO yeah it is in reference to a 9mm carbine i have one and was thinking of trying it for deer hunting since its the only rifle i have and im very accurate with it but it was suggested to me to try the hps for more of an impact for one shot kills it will be my first time deer hunting and didn t know
 
A 16" carbine makes the 9mm 147 grain JHP a real performer. It's not a 223 by any means but added to the increased accuracy, the higher velocity carries it's power well out to 100 yards.
 
can u shot 9mm hp in a 9 mmm rifle and will it do any damage to the gun

nah man..... hell naw.

jhp & FMJ are both fully copper coated, rifle will be fine.


um. good rule of thumb though is to clean your rifle after every time you shoot it
 
im not a hunter by any means but i would think even +p out of a carbine length barrel would still be underpowered for deer.

just my two cents. it may also be illegal.
 
wanna be a marksman,

Be sure you understand the laws and regulations for the type of hunting you plan on doing. A 9x19 fired from a carbine will not produce the minimum energy required by some states. Other states do not allow semi-autos for hunting. I am not aware of any 9x19 bullet that is made or approved for deer hunting. You want a bullet that will stay together if/when it hits bone, provides good penetration and will perform adequately to provide a quick kill. I can see a 9x19 for coyotes but not deer sized game. I also strongly suggest you receive training before you go hunting and find a knowledgeable mentor to help you in the hunting area.
 
not a deer round

The 9mm from a carbine is an improvement over handgun power, but it is NOT a deer round. The magnum handgun ctgs, .357, .41, .44, are, but are considered borderline by many. The 9mm weighs in even farther down the scale.
 
I totally agree the 9x19 is not a deer hunting cartridge.

IMO, .357 Mag, .41 Mag and .44 Mag are no where near borderline for dear - especially if shot from a carbine. The .41 Mag and .44 Mag fired from a handgun are capable of taking bear, elk or moose if the proper bullet and load are used along with proper shot placement.
 
I have a Marlin Camp 9, a Camp 45, and a 1895S in .44 mag. My first choice in these handgun chambered carbines would be the 1895s. I would use the Camp 45 for close deer but not the Camp 9, unless it was a survival situation and I had no choice. One thing I like about these carbines is that they use the same chambering and magazines as my S&W 459 (9mm) and 1911 (.45) and the 1895 chambers the same round as any .44 mag revolver.

As suggested above, take a hunting safety course (most states require one for first time hunters as far as I know). There you will be able to ask questions concerning your state's game laws on size/power of arms allowed, etc.

I'll go one step further and say that deer hunting with a 9x19 is just plain unethical, unless it is a life-or-death survival situation.
 
I'll take this a little further...

The 9mm Luger (9x19mm, 9mm Nato, etc.) is not a good choice for deer hunting, even at close range, and even on small deer, and even if it meets the legal requirements for your area. And this includes when being fired from a carbine.

And this is because of both the power level of the round (even in a carbine) and primarily because of the design and construction of the bullete in 9mm loads. It will kill. Make no mistake about that, but it is not designed for deer, so the odds of a deer being wounded, rather than killed are high.

Hollowpoints won't harm your gun. The problem with JHP bullets in 9mm is that they are designed to expand at handgun speeds, and are optimised for use against humans. At the higher speeds you get from a carbine barrel, the bullets will "over expand", and not penetrate as much as they should. This easily results in horrible surface wounds, and not a clean, humane kill on deer, or other big game.

Full metal jacket rounds are not legal for deer hunting, anywhere I know of. Hollow points (from a carbine) are a poor choice, and may even fail to penetrate shoulder bones.

If it is legal where you are, load with a soft point bullet, keep the range short (50yds or less), and avoid shooting through heavy bones. And be prepared to track....
