Have a chance at a Camp 9, but it is chambered in .356 TSW, I want to look before I leap on this one. The brass is a bit longer than 9mm and shorter than 9x21. I’m not even sure if there are dies or published load data for this one out there, much less cast bullet data

Thoughts?

I had a 356TSW in a handgun out of the SW custom shop about eighteen years ago. It was a "flash in the pan" cartridge. It's no longer available and finding any will be very problematic. It's also not anything special to begin with. If it were me I'd pass on it. Look for one chambered in the 9mm instead.

I'd pass.

If you really want a 9mm carbine take a look at the Ruger. I have one, it's an awesome little carbine.

Stay away from camp 9. Prone to breakage. Parts and people to install them getting scarce.

Depending on the extractor tension, it might still work with 9 mm Luger ammunition. I would make a lowball offer for it since someone "ruined" it. Those are neat guns.

I agree with thegatman about breaking. I have a Camp 45 and got the Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine. What a blast to use plus accepts my Berreta mags from my 92f.
