Default Carbine/BullPup Suggestions

Been thinking recently about buying a new rifle. Wanting some sort of a carbine or bullpup/CQB rifle. And even considering a Pistol Caliber Carbine of some type. I really wish someone offered the .357 Sig in a carbine configuration, but have been unable to locate anything. Really like the looks of the H&K USC 45 and the Beretta CS4 Storm, but wanting to see what other options there are out there.

Oh, and I'd love to have a PS90, but not sure that is in the price range that I'd like to spend. Just trying to get some suggestions and see whats out there. See if anyone here has any first hand experience with any rifles of this nature.

Use is just going to be for plinking and target/rifle range, maybe varmint eradication on my property when needed.

IMO:i hated shooting the ps90, was uncomfortable for me. and 5.7 is an expensive ammo.
that cs4 looks badass.

i have been wanting to find a saiga 12g that has been converted to a bullpup.

The ammo cost was/is a concern with the PS90. Was looking around also and noticed the Taurus Carbine CT G2 that looked pretty cool.

Well haven't really set a budget per say yet, I guess right now, just getting some ideas. Ideally probably would like to stay between $1k to $1500, if not less obviously.

hmmm........The Beretta is a stout choice,Ruger for a while there also offered a carbine in 9mm and 40.cal,Hi point is a very cheap weapon,I had one and fell out of a stand with it and broke it in half,Hi point still took care of it and I had it for another four or five years,really cant knock it cause it ate anything I put in it and was kinda accurate.

My last carbine was one of those Century Uzi's with the long barrel and that thing was a tack driver.

What about a 9mm AR?
we put a SBR together for a guy with a 10" barrel and that thing was a blast with 147gr Subs and a AAC Trident suppressor!!!

I want a 40 or a 45 in a M4 platform. but nobody has got any mags yet.

Rock river arms has some sweet setups in various calibers. I wouldn't mind having a h&k usp 45 and making a clone to the ump. There expensive though

thought about an AR platform, but not sure, kinda wanting something different. Seems that everybody and their dog has an AR, I actually have an original .223 Colt AR15 S1, its not pretty but gets the job done.

Yeah, the H&K USC 45 would be my ultimate choice, but just not ready to spend that kind of money.
