Pistol caliber carbine ammo choice

I am seeking advice of a good choice of ammo for a 9mm carbine (Ruger). Ballistic data for pistols abound, but I can't locate anything specific to carbine length weapons.
 
GF,

There was some data re this with my Kel-Tec Sub-9. There have also been several articles out lately about the Kel-tec and Ruger carbines, some of which listed velocities. I believe the most velocity increase was from a 90-grain Corbon. I seem to recall it was doing 1700 fps or so from the 16-inch barrel. The type of powder used is going to make a difference. I'll see if I can get more info for you later, or you can write me in a week or so (I'm out of town currently) for more information.
 
I've been using Speer Lawman JHP in my Mattel (Hi-Point) 9mm carbine almost exclusively for close to 2,000 rounds. The manual suggests FMJ but the JHP has never given me any problem.
