Quoted: i had one of the M9-11s years ago and it was a POS--the hammer broke on at least two occasions and after you've blasted it from the hip a few times-you will be bored with it (I was). The magazines were plastic and if you drop them they will explode and spray bullets everywhere with about as much accuracy as the gun itself has. i bought a Colt AR 9mm a while back and paid out the wazoo for it and i don't regret it for a minute--mine now sports a flattop with an aimpoint and i can hit a grapefruit (or Head) sized target at 100 yards at will.....
i also had an uzi for a while and you can bet your life that it will work everytime but they look peculiar with that long barrel and short action (But everybody i know that had one also had a short barrel stuck away somewhere)....The long and short of it is that i think you should get a 9mm AR....there are a few around now that don't cost as much as the colt and work just as good and use cheap mags...Just my 2 cents worth........Dick

I had heard that there were quality issues with some of the Mac guns. Others state that they're reliable and okay, but ugly. (I don't care about looks.) I guess it's just the year/model that you purchase. EVERYBODY seems to holler about the Zytel mags and the feedlips breaking, though.
I had considered the 9mm AR, but it's the biggest one (size wise) on the list. Plus, I've found that AR's, on the whole, are NOT as reliable as I'd prefer. Maybe there's a way to ensure reliability, but.....
Yeah, I've heard that about the UZI. Short barrel and slotted bolt.
But, honestly, I don't want an illegal NFA item. I'd rather pay more; it's just not an option right now due to reasons mentioned above.
