We were intrigued by Sandgroper's Destroyer carbine in 9mm Largo but it isn't really practical for us as we don't home load. Are there any 9mm carbines or rifles out there that use standard 9mm Parabellum ammunition ?

One of the guys in the club I shoot at has a 9mm bolt action rifle. It looks vaguely milsurp-ish and I believe he only paid a few hundred quid for it.

I wish I could remember what make it was but all I do recall is the feelings of envy it incited in me.

We already have an Armalon in .45 ACP and so would like something a little different, and aren't keen on SGC.

The second Destroyer I mentioned in the other thread is listed here - http://www.gunstar.co.uk/Rifle/Bergmann ... 51967.aspx

Two things to consider -

1) The picture is exactly the same as the other one listed on C&G's website,
2) As far as I can determine the 9x19 operates at a higher pressure than the Largo, which would make me wary of it and it's history. Maybe, just maybe it could be one of the mythical Destroyers that were apparently made for (and stamped) 9mm Parabellum - same for the ones stamped 38 Auto.

Two other options are the Ruger M77/44 and M77/357 - not 9mm but factory ammo is available.

According to the images, the receiver is stamped "Cal 9mm Bergman", and so it isn't 9x19 Parabellum. It would have been ideal had it been one of the very few true 9x19 Destroyers.

this must happen.... or sten, or even Thompson..

We don't think they do Thompsons in 9mm

I was thinking more in general straight pull pistol calibres..
