While the 9x19mm ctg gets some boost in velocity in the 16 -- 20" carbine barrel, it is not as much as you might think. Sorry I don't have the figures, but it is not nearly as much as I would have thought.

I wouldn't bother with the 9mm unless you were going to get the hot sub-gun ammo. That stuff is hotter than the usually 9mm out there but its not safe to shoot in handguns. I believe it is around 1400 FPS with a 124gr bullet.
My Marlin model 882-22mag is zeroed at 100yds, hits 7inches low at 200yds, and can shoot 12inch groups or better at 300yds and still punch threw a 3/4inch piece of plywood.
22Mag is a better rifle cartridge if you plan on shooting 50yds or more.IMHO
I believe the MP5 with the hot sub gun ammo is considered to be effective out to 300yds..........but not very.
I think the Beretta Storm would be a nice truck gun though. For some reason the 22Mag doesn't sound truck gunish to me.
