A 9 millimeter carbine is the kind of firearm that you would use at close range with a high velocity of fire to defend yourself. That would be the defensive scenario probably best suited for a 9 mm shooter which is why the British made the Sten and Sterling submachineguns. Get close and strafe the bad guys.
It would make a very good training firearm to teach somebody to learn basic shooting skills and handling techniques of firearms. It wouldn't be one that kicked the trainee all around either and it would be a good psychological device to produce positive feedback for the new shooter.
It would be cost effective or cheaper to use than a lot of other firearms. It wouldn't be the cheapest but it would be far from the most expensive with which to train.
Downsides would be the fact that there are more effective firearms that one could use for personal defense. Less range than other firearms.
Over all, a 9 millimeter carbine wouldn't be a great device but it wouldn't be a super bad one either. It would probably be at the bottom end of firearms that I would prefer to use.
