The only way a 9mm Carbine makes sense is if it shares magazines with your chosen pistol.

If you have a Beretta, then get the CX4. If you have a Glock, then use an Olympic 9mm Carbine, or build one with a Lone Wolf lower to make a Glock compatible carbine.

The Marlin Camp 9 used S&W Magazines?

If you are doing a "SHTF" kind of setup, make your gear count....

Otherwise, there is precious little advantage to a Pistol Caliber Carbine, IMVHO.
