Some of history\u2019s most famous long guns were chambered for pistol cartridges. Like the Winchester lever action in .44-40 or the many Marlins chambered for .38 Special and .357 magnum. And of course, there are the submachine guns, which by definition are short rifles chambered in common pistol cartridges, like the H&amp;K MP5 or my favorite icon the Thompson in .45 ACP. There has always been a place in our utility and indeed in our hearts for the PCC. It is only natural for the most popular light rifle style of our times, the AR-15 to be offered in the most common and popular pistol caliber \u2013 9mm. And finally, in 2015 this fantastic rifle platform and common pistol round come together as a Stag Arms product. No longer is quality and reliability a question to ask when considering this type of gun.<\/p>\n<p>[full_width]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38158\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-22.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38158\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-22.jpg\" alt=\"The Stag Arms Model 9T - everything you need; nothing you don't.\" width=\"900\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-22.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-22-150x57.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-22-400x151.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Stag Arms Model 9T &#8211; everything you need: nothing you don&#8217;t.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/full_width]<br \/>\nWhen you open the padded plastic carrying case in which the 9T is provided, you are staring down at a fully conventional Mil-spec AR-15. Stag has chosen to dress this rifle out with a minimalist approach, but that by no means indicates they skimped on anything. The accessories chosen for the 9T were clearly done thoughtfully. It has everything you need, and nothing you don\u2019t. And the components are among the best choices available. Diamondhead is featured prominently with the floating handguard and flip-up sights. Both are anodized aluminum and blend perfectly to the receivers. The handguard is one of my favorites, offering a comfortable and uniform grip at any point along its 13 \u00bd\u201d length.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38126 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide1-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Slide 1 stag 9t specs\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide1.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>[\/one_half]<\/p>\n<p>[one_half_last]<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-38128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide3-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Slide3\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide3.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>If you really feel you have to hang that espresso machine off of it, additional rail can be added in sections. I would find it useful for instance, to add a small piece to the bottom front for a bipod. The Diamondhead sights use a proprietary \u201cdiamond in a diamond\u201d pattern to get your fast sight picture, and then inside that is the traditional front post and rear peeps (large and small as needed). You can also pivot the rear peep sight flat so that you have only the large diamond into which you fit the front sight diamond \u2013 for fast acquisition and close ranges. The gun was printing low at close distances inside 25 yards, as expected \u2013 but I found it easy to make rough adjustments to my hold and do it with consistency.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38134\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38134\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-4-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"The Diamondhead flip-up rear sight has two peep-hole sizes and clear windage adjustment markings. \" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-4-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-4-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-4.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Diamondhead flip-up rear sight has two peep-hole sizes and clear windage adjustment markings.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Shooting with the open sights is easy on the eyes, intuitive and quite accurate.

But the spring gets mighty tough around 25 rounds, and I usually stopped there, lest I damage my delicate typing fingers. I\u2019d get a tool to assist with that, and a couple more magazines for starters. I\u2019d like to see Stag include at least two mags \u2013 especially for the 9mm, since the local store is guaranteed not to have any. The good news is that Stag sells them for $20 ea., which is not bad.<\/p>\n<p>The other furniture on the 9T consists of a 6-position buttstock (mil spec) that is adequate. There are no storage compartments, and no butt pad (though certainly none is needed), but the adjustments are quick and easy for length and it does include a fixed sling ring. The pistol grip is standard A2 design. I sighed when I first saw it, because I often find them uncomfortable. My hand never seems to be the one the \u201cfinger space protrusion\u201d was designed for and so they are uncomfortable to use. But surprisingly this one was okay, and I found that I wasn\u2019t even thinking about it. Still, if I were going to change something \u2013 that would be first on the list. Stag Arms also provides a dual attachment point just between the lower receiver and the castle nut. I used it to attach my single-point sling.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-38127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide2-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Slide2\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide2.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-38129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide4-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Slide4\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide4-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide4-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Slide4.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>[\/one_half_last]Shooting the 9T is a lot of fun. If you have an AR-15 that you enjoy shooting, imagine that same rifle with even less recoil, much less noise, and cheaper ammo. Suddenly the concept doesn\u2019t sound so odd, eh? Bet I got you with that \u2018cheaper ammo\u2019 part. Cheaper to train. Cheaper to take the family out for a day of plinking. Less noise (even with good hearing protection, you notice) and less recoil means less sensory assault for those folks your trying to introduce to shooting. My dog lay near me while I did my bechrest shooting with the 9T. Had that been a .223 he would have been hiding behind the truck, or possibly taking refuge inside it.<\/p>\n<p>The trigger is a mil-spec single stage and I measured it at just about 5.5 lbs. on average. It is a decent one. The stroke is not excessive and the break is crisp. Reset is short and loud, just the way I like \u2018em.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38156\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-20.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38156\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-20-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Consistency was excellent at 25 yards, with the best group yielded by Herter's, at about 3\/4&quot;.\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-20-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-20-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-20.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Consistency was excellent at 25 yards, with the best group yielded by Herter&#8217;s, at about 3\/4&#8243;.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38154\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38154\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-19-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"At 100 yards, the same Herter's ammo opened up to almost 4&quot;, but bear in mind that is with an unmagnified red dot.\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-19-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-19-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-19.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At 100 yards, the same Herter&#8217;s ammo opened up to almost 4&#8243;, but bear in mind that is with an unmagnified red dot.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>I put half-dozen different types of ammo through the 9T over the course of multiple range trips, and shot off-hand and various distances and rested the carbine for some accuracy tests. I shot a combination of PMC Bronze, Blazer Brass, Freedom Munitions, Herter\u2019s Select, and steel cased Tul Ammo for most of the testing. I found the results to be very similar for all but the Tul Ammo, which functioned perfectly but printed groups twice the size of the others.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got the optic zeroed well enough to keep me reliably on paper, I found the results impressive with most every brand of ammo I shot. Most printed sub-one-inch groups at 25 yards and out to 100 was still inside 4\u201d. A better rifleman with a better scope could probably achieve half that group size. But more importantly than that, after over 500 rounds there was not one single malfunction of any kind. Nada. I fed it steel cased ammo, hollow-points, handloads with minimum power, you name it. It ate it all up and spit it all out without seeing so much as a bore snake. I ran it dirty and with just the lube it had in it the whole time.

A group average from a Glock 34 was 1208 fps, and that jumped to 1302 fps from the 9T. Not surprising of course, but if you\u2019re wondering about the use of this rifle in defense of hearth and home, I\u2019d say that loaded with good defense ammo it would a formidable beast.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the 9T down for cleaning is even easier than for an AR-15 chambered in .223. Because the 9T action operates on blowback, there is no gas tube. This also helps keep the gun clean. I was surprised just how clean it still was after putting half a case of ammo through it. My handguns don\u2019t stay this clean. Field strip entails popping out the two pins that marry the upper and lower receivers, just as with any AR, and then removing the bolt and charging handle. The bolt is quite plain Jane if you\u2019re used to a traditional AR-15. No rotating bolt here. The feed ramp and ejector are incorporated in the lower receiver. It\u2019s a masterpiece of understatement.<\/p>\n<p>I think Stag Arms has done a good job of building a 9mm AR-15 that has what you need and not what you don\u2019t. There is no way to suit everyone\u2019s needs out of the box, but rather than pay for bells I don\u2019t need to ring or whistles I don\u2019t want to blow \u2013 I\u2019d rather start with a package like the 9T and change what I need to change \u2013 if anything. Whether you think a 9mm carbine could make the ultimate home defense gun, or if you just think knocking cans off a post with it would be great fun, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll do much better than the Stag Arms 9T for quality, ease of use, and long-term value.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38131\" style=\"width: 302px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38131\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-2-292x300.jpg\" alt=\"The author wasn't sure he'd like the Mil-spec A2 pistol grip, but turns out he has no complaints.\" width=\"292\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-2-292x300.jpg 292w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-2-146x150.jpg 146w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author wasn&#8217;t sure he&#8217;d like the Mil-spec A2 pistol grip, but turns out he has no complaints.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38135\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stag-arms-model-9t-new-gun-review\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38135\" title=\"Stag Model 9T--Game Changing 9mm Carbine\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Stag-9T-5-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Right and left attachment points are located just at the front of the buffer tube.
