Using soft point 110 gr ammo @ 1900 fps the .30 carbine's energy is similar to 125 gr .357 magnum rounds fired from a 6" revolver.
That said, the difference in handling, recoil, muzzle blast, ease of control between a carbine and a handgun is obvious.
The M1 carbine is simply a delightful little rifle to plink with or for home defense. Easy handling, light and with 15 or 30 rounds.
There's a good reason that the little carbine's prices have gone up and up and up, folks just like 'em.
