Of note, CZ has two carbine options for the EVO out this year. One with a standard flash hider (CZ 08505), the other with a faux suppressor (CZ 08507) from Silencer Co and is supposedly ready to go for SBR conversion, no 992r kit required. I'm curious if the fake can is pinned or what?

Now, if you're on the fence, I can't help you. But, you should know that NRA Certified Instructors do qualify for both the Sig Sauer and the CZ First Responder discounts.... :thumbs2:
How much are the discounts kind sir??

Re: 9mm subguns and the power of marketing

I would vote for the Evo or build your own 9mm.

I have an SBR in 300 BLK with can, and am building a 3.5" 9mm AR (glock mags) and have a 9mm suppressor as well (total barrel length, suppressed = 11").

In the long run, I wish I had skipped the 300 build and went straight to 9mm. The 300 BLK 8" barrel + 7" suppressor is just about as long as a normal AR15, and I can't afford to feed my 300 BLK at $1 a round (even reloading this round is expensive). Yes, the 300 BLK is better than 9mm as far as energy goes, especially at a distance, but I can buy and practice much more at $.25 a round for 9mm hollowpoint subsonics from freedom munitions, and I won't leave the range knowing I spent a fortune shooting that day. I would suspect that good 9mm HP subs (not freedom munitions) would do decent out to a certain point, but I am building that gun for Home Defense anyway - 50 yards max.
