Not quite bro, my Mosin M44 is considered a 'carbine' and most certainly doesn't fire a pistol caliber cartridge in 7.62 x 54R

carbine generally just means a short rifle, weather it be a pistol or a traditional rifle cartridge.

I think you got your answer from the rest of the guys. Get one and you will see why you would want one. They are just fun to shoot as the rest have said.

Hey 9mm, I like your taste in firearms. In the photo I posted above, see my 995TS, C9 and P-95 (and toes). They are fun to shoot!

Just throwing it out there that a police trade in Remington 870 shotty can be picked up fro $150 at most gun shows if you shop around. That being said, I bought a 870 and a 995ts lol.
