Our Assessment: Due to the popularity of the original Uzi submachine guns developed by Uziel Gal in the 1950’s, it makes sense that clones and semi-auto versions would appear on the market. Based upon the combat proven and well respected UZI, the Centurion UC-9 Carbine is a modern take on the classic firearm in a semi-automatic only closed bolt carbine variant with a folding steel stock and straight blowback operation. These you’d have a compact and handy pistol caliber carbine in a rock solid, reliable package that offers historical value and a lot of entertainment at your next range day trip.
