Just another thought, SnW has also come out with a foldable small 9mm carbine. I have had several guys come thru our carbine classes with them and have not seen any issues at all. Keep in mind a student in our carbine class will shoot aprox 700-900 rounds during the class. At this point we have had zero malfunctions of any kind with the SnW foldable carbine. i Do not own one and I do not get any endorsement from SnW I am just letting you guys know what I see on a daily basis with a lot of shooters. My only criticism of them is from an instructors point of view and NOT the shooters POV. When I am walking the line it is super difficult to confirm the safety is engaged visually. I have to have the student ”roll” the rifle a bit so that I can assure it is on safe in the “ let em hang” position. Which is essentially holstered for us. Hanging from sling and on safe booger hooks out of trigger guards.
