So I have been pining for a 9mm carbine.
Like everyone else, I had to prioritize and the carbine sat at the bottom of the list for quite some time.
After some serious saving, it got bumped up.
Ordered from Bud's and picked it up from the local ffl last week.
It is a heavy sucker, like hefting a brick but fits well in this case for easy pitching into the truck.
The Glock 26 that is the grab and go pack.
It has a 10 round magazine with pinky extension inserted.
A G17 magazine in the 'pouch'.
I reversed the bolt handle location and swapped out the magwell blocks.
The G26 magazine (without pinky extension) fits just fine.
Awhile back I chronographed my G26 with winchester whitebox 115gn fmj and my "round of choice" lee 125gn round flat covered in Smoke's "clear" powdercoat.
Not the greatest chrono' but it attaches to my tablet/phone for saving groups.

100% function with all rounds.
Bolt locked back on empty mags.
10 round, 17 round, 33 round all identical function.
I really like this carbine and I chose it over a couple other contenders.
The Just Right takedown carbine was looked at MANY times.
The Ruger won me over with factory iron sights but capable of adding something else.
Tradition grip over AR style. (I own and shoot an AR regularly as well).
I think I'll keep it.
