I looked into this a bit myself. Unfortunately I haven't found anyone that does a Mechtech style conversion or anything like that. About the closest thing that I have found are carbines that use the same magazine. I haven't even been able to spot a shoulder stock for like there is for the glock, browning hipower, etc.

Wait! I stand corrected, there is THIS: http://www.israeldefensestore.com/roni-m9.html
But that would make it NFA and you wouldn't have a longer barrel. I suppose you could hunt for a longer barrel to make it worth it. OR use a suppressor or something, but man that is quite a bit of cash outlay.

I think the CX4 kinda killed the market for such a thing. Why bother with a stamp if you can get a light and handy carbine that you can SBR later if you want? And takes M9 mags.

you could always try to get one of these monstrosities
good luck finding an actual 93R stock

If I were to get a pistol-cartridge carbine I would probably opt for the SUB2000 that takes beretta mags. It folds!
They also make a version for the Beretta 96, as well as various glocks.

Mech-Tech themselves advertised a "coming soon" Beretta 92/96 version (as well as a BHP version, IIRC) several years ago... alas, it never came to be.

Have to agree –– I absolutely love my CX4 Storm.
If I carried B92s, it would be my primary PCC of choice.

I don't have a 92 yet, because i'm looking for a rare variation, but when I get it, a CX4 will follow me home shortly thereafter. Along with a can.

They are making a 16" model for us Lugs so we do not have to get a tax stamp.
I am not sure if the barrel is a rifled replacement or just a 16" extension to foil concealment and meet the NFA requirements.
Look at the website.

Beretta made a hand full of factory 92SB SBRs in the mid 80's useing a 93R stock and adaptor on on otherwise factory full size 92. I passed on one several years ago and regret it as it was the last one I've seen. If you can find a 93R stock the conversion and machine work really isn't very technical.
