The Bird DOG BD-9 is a Houston-made semi-automatic 9mm carbine with a 16.5-inch barrel. It has an anodized finish, a 15.5-inch M-LOK rail handguard and a Thril grip and stock. One 17-round magazine comes with it. The listing is marked used, while the supplier notes describe the rifle as new with a stock photo. The carbine ships with one magazine, so plan for extra magazines before range sessions.

A short 9mm carbine like this one suits range use and home defense for a buyer who wants rail space for accessories. A buyer must be 18 or older to take a long gun from a dealer. Some states set their own rules, so check local requirements before you order. The anodized finish and rail handguard are both listed in the description.
