Did Taurus do any better on the CT-9 Carbine than they have done with their pistols?

I'm somewhat in the market for another 9mm carbine. I have a soft spot for pistol carbines, played with the Hi Point years ago, had a Kel-Tec and a Ruger PC-9 that I liked a lot in college. Sadly Ruger doesn't make theirs anymore, and I'm looking for something more "substantial" than the Kel-tec (i.e. not looking for a pistol action wrapped in a rifle gordita).

Haven't seen a Taurus besides their 1911's or M-9's that ran worth a hoot, but the carbine looks the part. Does it run?

Mostly be a plinker, teach my son to shoot with it in a few years, maybe do a little coyote and hog hunting with it.

Open to other suggestions for a 9mm, 40S&W, or 45auto carbines as well (preferably the 9 or 40, for trajectory).
 
Which Keltec carbine did you have? For a pistol caliber carbine the Sub 2k is tough to beat. Glock high capa mags are cheap and reliable....the carbine is lightweight and they shoot pretty well. In my opinion the Keltec is far superior to the Hipoint and Taurus carbines.

Yeah, I've kicked it around, mostly the difference is in handling and feel I suppose. Maybe the Taurus or Beretta style carbines handle more like an AR anyway, so I'd be ahead with a 9mm AR upper, but I really liked the simple, lightweight handling of the Kel-Tec and Ruger.

The Ruger was super sweet, just right about what I'm looking for, although I'd like higher capacity mags, and in concession for higher cap, I prefer them to be in front of my trigger guard. Hate having high cap mags sticking out of my hand.

The Kel-tec had to be a Sub-2000, unless they had a different nomenclature back then (bought it in 2000 or 2001?). Hard shooting it since it was so stripped down, and the folding thing was kinda cooler in theory than it was in practice. I had a pair of 33rnd glock mags for it at the time, always felt it got in the way since it was in my hand.

Just curious if anyone had played with one. The CX-4 might be an option, otherwise I may just build a hyperlight AR with a 9mm upper.
