Anyone know if anyone makes a Carbine conversion kit for the Beretta 92FS??? I know there is a company (Mech something...) that is going to make them, but is there any available now???

I bought one of these for a 1911. It's fun and accurate, but not all that well made, IMHO. Things are starting to get loose after about 500 rounds. Think about buying a 9MM carbine instead, as I am now doing. These CCU's are pretty neat though, since they are not firearms and require no paperwork.

The reason I am asking is because in the very near future, I will recieve my commission in the Marine Corps. I will be carrying the M9. If "TSHTF" I think it would be a handy tool (since I suck with the pistol to begin with 
)

You would be better off to take the first rifle from a fallen friend or enemy than you would be with a pistol caliber carbine. I can't stand the concept. IN the imortal words of my firearms instructor in the academy if your going to carry a long gun it might as well be one that will kill somebody. Pistol caliber carbines simply don't have the stopping power or range or firepower that a good 223 or 7.62x39 mm carbine has. I would rather have a shotgun. Pistol caliber carbines add give you an effective range of about 75 meters and a little more stopping power over a handgun but not much. A good shot with a pistol can do nearly as well as a average shot with a pistol caliber carbine.

I have had experience with both pistol caliber carbines and shoulder stocked pistols. FWIW, I agree with 355Sigfan. They are neither fish nor fowl and not good at being either.
Further, if you are a military officer issued a pistol, you would have to carry the pistol in the issue holster, and where do you carry the rest of the "carbine"?
Contrary to common belief, troops don't just carry any old weapon they might think they like, and "unofficial" stuff can get one in trouble in a lot of ways.
