I have a fixed carry handle Colt 9mm carbine, I wouldn't swear to it, but I think it's a 6451. I love it's easy shooting and don't want to really change anything on it, but I was thinking of getting one of the Brownell repro Colt 4x scopes to give it a cool vintage vibe. Do I have any other choices that might be better overall while maintaining the old school look while not looking too clownish on the carry handle?

An Armson OEG would be cool.

A socialist may indeed be academically superior.
And yet, they are most certainly emotionally retarded.

Public education is the opiate of the masses.

I put one of those PA 1X prisms on mine. It works, but I may swap it out for a dot sight.

Mini ACOG on a fixed carry if your wallet don't care.  

I am also happy with the fixed Colt 4x, but for 9mm the "red dot-ish" feel of the ACOG seems better than crosshairs.

Get a red dot. Don't screw around with Acog's or any of these types.  It's a 9mm. It's 50yds and in weapon

OP, I got the same little Colt copy for my 9MM carbine.

Not to expensive and works fine.
How you live your life is important. Just be sure the memory of how you died doesn't overshadow the tales of how you lived your life.

You could always spend every waking minute sourcing a cmore scout like I did lol.  Perfect for the doe in my opinion.

I have one of the Colt 4X retro scopes from Brownells, it isn’t a bad scope, I got it mount on a 20inch upper. Don’t ask me why but I like carry handles on ARs. I bought a Colt 6951 it came with one of those plastic rear sights but I switched it off and put a detachable carry handle on it. I have mostly been shooting it with Iron sights. I have been playing with the idea of putting on a red dot like I have on my 10.5 inch AR pistol. It’s a Vortex Strikefire 2.

I've used both the ACOG with handle mount and the rail with thumbscrew.
